Abstract
A method of steering a vehicle having a set of steerable front wheels and a set of steerable rear wheels. The front and rear wheels are both secondarily steered in addition to a main steer of the front wheels caused by an operation of a front wheel steering gear in response to an operation of a steering wheel. The method comprises providing to the front wheels a secondary steer angle corresponding to at least a differentiated value of a steer angle of a steering wheel in such a way as to increase an overall steer angle of the front wheels and providing to the rear wheels a secondary steer angle proportional to the steer angle of the steering wheel and in the same direction as the steer angle of the front wheels.
