Used Car Buyer Checklist: Code 216
On some models the 10° angle can be unlocked over the air for an annual fee, but the hardware must be fitted from the factory and certain staggered AMG wheel and tyre combinations cap the angle at the standard setting. Only code 216 on the build sheet proves the extended system left the factory installed.
