MODIFICATION NOTES

26.10.05 Permissible difference in vehicle level between right and left sides of the vehicle Models 211, 219 *BE40.20-P-1002-03I 
27.10.05 Permissible difference in vehicle level between right and left sides of the vehicle Models 211, 219 *BE40.20-P-1002-02I 
INSPECT Checking     
1 Carry out preconditions and tests for vehicle level measurement   AR40.00-P-0202A 
2 Clean measuring points IMPORTANT This prevents any measuring errors.  
3 Mount measuring sensor (086a) on spring link (17) between the cast-in humps and read off the vehicle level on the inclinometer (86) NOTES The measuring sensor connecting cable (086b) must point towards the center of the vehicle, otherwise the measurement will be incorrect.
IMPORTANT Measure vehicle level at
  • Measuring point 1 (left front) and
  • measuring point 2 (right front) and store measured values.

4 Mount measuring sensor (086a) on rear axle shaft (65) and read off vehicle level on the inclinometer (86) NOTES The measuring sensor connecting cable (086b) must point towards the center of the vehicle, otherwise the measurement will be incorrect.
IMPORTANT Measure vehicle level at
  • Measuring point 3 (left rear) and
  • measuring point 4 (right rear) and store measured values.

    Permissible difference in vehicle level at rear axle between right and left sides of the vehicle *BE40.20-P-1002-03I 
6.2 Use STAR DIAGNOSIS to calibrate vehicle level Vehicles with code (489) Airmatic (semiactive air suspension) and if the vehicle level is outside the test tolerance.  
REFER TO SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS Connect STAR DIAGNOSIS and read out fault memory   AD00.00-P-2000-04A

IMPORTANT Possible cause, if the vehicle level is not OK after calibration:
  • Attachment of level sensor is deformed.
 *BE40.20-P-1002-03I 
7.1 Adjust headlamps Only if the vehicle level has been calibrated.
