How do you know if you have it? I have the sport package and see the RAS light up on ignition, but I've never seen the rear wheels do any turning.

RAS will not be activated at low speed. This is not for parking assist. It works at higher speeds to give more stability during quick lane change or obstacle avoidance. Also the rear wheels turn very slightly (I think abt 5 degress) so you may not notice it.

does RAS light just light up for a few seconds on ignition or does it stay on? I haven't noticed it yet on test drives I've done.

Thanks

the light should go away after turning on the ignition but if it stays on it means theres a malfunction in the system. but yeah you really cant feel the rear active steer working. i tried to change lanes at 80mph with a quick flick and the car seem like it reacted pretty quick and my lane departure system didnt pick up me crossing over the lane lol. its nice to know that you have it
