1)  These values apply from market introduction of saloon up to VIN 8E_2_025687.
2)  These values apply to Avant models and to saloon as of VIN 8E_2_025688.
3)  The wheel on the outside of a curve is turned in less than the inside wheel. This value shows the difference in the steering angles. It can be displayed as a negative value on the wheel alignment computer, depending on the manufacturer.
