Operating a vehicle in an automated steering control mode wherein the vehicle includes a controller operatively coupled with an articulated steering system and a front axle steering system. The controller is configured to identify a desired path of curvature of the vehicle and determine a front axle steering angle of the front axle steering system and command the front axle steering system to operate at the front axle steering angle and also determine an articulation steering angle of the articulated steering system and command the articulated steering system to operate at the articulation steering angle. A further form includes operating front and rear ground engaging means at a designated speed, and thereafter operating the articulated steering system and the front axle steering system based on the designated speed being greater than a transport speed threshold, less than a field speed threshold or between the two.
