*BE40.20-P-1002-02D

	Checking
1	Carry out preconditions and tests for vehicle level measurement		AR40.00-P-0202A
2	Clean measuring points	This prevents any measuring errors.
3.1	Mount measuring sensor (086a) on the cross strut (arrows) and read off the vehicle level on the inclinometer (86)	Model 171, 209, 203 without 4MATIC
		The connecting cable for the measuring sensor (086a) must face to the vehicle center, otherwise any measurement will be incorrect. Measure vehicle level at Measuring point 1 (left front) and measuring point 2 (right front) and store measured values.
		Vehicle level - front axle Electronic inclinometer (CM 9606), refer to GOTIS http://gotis.aftersales.daimlerchrysler.com	*BE40.20-P-1002-02D
3.2	Mount measuring sensor (086a) on transverse control arm (arrows) and read off vehicle level on the inclinometer (86)	Model 203 with 4MATIC
		The connecting cable for the measuring sensor (086a) must face to the vehicle center, otherwise any measurement will be incorrect. Measure vehicle level at Measuring point 1 (left front) and measuring point 2 (right front) and store measured values.
		Vehicle level - front axle Electronic inclinometer (CM 9606), refer to GOTIS http://gotis.aftersales.daimlerchrysler.com	*BE40.20-P-1002-02D
4	Mount measuring sensor (086a) on rear axle shaft and read off vehicle level on the inclinometer (86)	The connecting cable for the measuring sensor (086a) must face to the vehicle center, otherwise any measurement will be incorrect. Measure vehicle level at Measuring point 3 (left front) and measuring point 4 (right front) and store measured values.
		Vehicle level - rear axle Electronic inclinometer (CM 9606), refer to GOTIS http://gotis.aftersales.daimlerchrysler.com	*BE40.20-P-1002-03D
5	Check stored values of vehicle level	Vehicle level - front axle	*BE40.20-P-1002-02D
		Permissible difference in vehicle level between right and left sides of the vehicle	*BE40.20-P-1003-02D
		Vehicle level - rear axle	*BE40.20-P-1002-03D
		Permissible difference in vehicle level between right and left sides of the vehicle If the vehicle level at the front or rear axle is outside the tolerance, the vehicle level must be adjusted by changing the springs or the spring rubber mounts.	*BE40.20-P-1003-03D
6.1	Adjust headlamps	If the vehicle level was adjusted
	Check and correct headlamp adjustment	Model 171	AP82.10-P-8260V
