In a few sentences

In brief

The steering position motor is not the steering assistance motor.

Useful to know

The Bosch Steering column adjustment drive drives the steering column adjustment to the desired position. This is a function for positioning the steering wheel relative to the driver. [1]

Don't mix it with the electric amplifier that helps with the cornering itself. The two systems can be present at the same time, but solve different tasks. In equipment descriptions, check what adjustment directions are available and whether there is storage in the particular vehicle. The presence of a drive mechanism in the supplier's catalog does not mean that every car with this component offers all possible settings.
