Rear Wheel Steering Angle
Hi guys, since I pick up my 2022 EQS 580 in a couple of days (!), I'm researching a lot of the questions I have and a lot of answers are turning up here - what a great resource
Apologies in advance for all of the (almost) newbie questions that I may have in the coming days. Current question I can't find the answer to: how do I know what rear wheel steering angle I have? I understand that 4.5 is the standard and it will go up to 10 or so. Now, I know that different markets either provide 10 as standard, 10 as pay-per-annum or 10 as pay-once. FYI - my car is a Portuguese national car (where I'm based). So, is there a way of knowing which I have? There's nothing specific in the spec for the steering angle I have but I do have option 201 AMG rear axle steering.... Any ideas?

201 is the code for 4.5 degree from the factory. It's technically called small angle RWS though it's not a standardized value, can be as little as 2.5 on some cars, 3.6 on some, 4.5 on some, I think the AMG GT 4 Door is even smaller. 216 is the code for "large angle RWS", usually either 9 or 10 degrees model dependant, from the factory. So if you don't subscribe to an increase, you probably have 4.5 right now.

The 10 degree Rear Axle Steering feature in this vehicle is a surprising but highly practical addition that significantly enhances the driving dynamics of this car, despite its considerable length. This feature allows for greater control and maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or when navigating challenging driving conditions. Its impressive impact on performance is a testament to its technical sophistication and engineering excellence.
The feature in question has transitioned from being a supplementary option to a mandatory requirement IMHO!
