Abstract: A method for providing reverse directional polarity steering in a vehicle includes, in response to receiving a reverse position polarity steering mode signal indicating selection of a reverse position polarity steering mode: determining a selected gear of a transmission of the vehicle; determining a vehicle speed; and, in response to a determination that the selected gear includes a reverse gear and the vehicle speed is within a range of a predetermined vehicle speed, selectively controlling at least one roadwheel actuator of the vehicle in a direction opposite to a direction indicated by a handwheel actuator associated with a handwheel of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method includes, in response to an entry signal indicating an opening of an operator door, detecting a first torque value corresponding to a first torque applied to a handwheel and determining a second torque value corresponding to the first torque value. The method also includes applying, to the handwheel, a second torque corresponding to the second torque value and, based on at least one of a measurement associated with a seat sensor and a period associated with the first torque being applied to the handwheel: determining whether to selectively adjust the second torque value; and, in response to a determination to selectively adjust the second torque value, applying, to the handwheel, an adjusted torque corresponding to the adjusted second torque value.
