Function of rear axle steering
The rear axle steering is an electromechanical
auxiliary steering on the rear axle which adjusts
the steering of the rear wheels according to the
position of the front wheels, depending on the
speed. This results in greater maneuverability and
improved driving stability, e.g. when cornering.
Rear axle steering has the following characteris-
tics:
Reduced steering effort and turning radius
R
resulting in reduced parking effort
Improved driving stability, e.g. when cornering
R
More direct steering resulting in improved
R
control of the vehicle
Information on the AMG ceramic high-perform-
ance composite brake system
The brake system is designed for heavy loads.
This may lead to noise when braking. This effect
can also occur after washing the vehicle.
The noise depends on the following factors:
speed
R
brake force
R
environmental conditions, e.g. temperature
R
and air humidity
