MODIFICATION NOTES

7.12.07 Vehicle level - front axle Model 211.08/09/28/29 with steel suspension (standard production) *BE40.20-P-1001-02I 
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.  
3.1 Mount measuring sensor (086a) on spring control arm (17) between the cast-in humps and read off the vehicle level on the inclinometer (086) Vehicles without 4MATIC
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.

3.2 Mount measuring sensor (086a) on the cast-in humps (arrows) on lower transverse control arm (18) (arrows) and read off the vehicle level on the inclinometer (086) Vehicles with 4MATIC
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.

COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE TOOLS Electronic inclinometer (CM 9606)		 *BE40.20-P-1001-03I 
5 Check the maximum permissible difference in vehicle level between the left and right side of the vehicle IMPORTANT The specified test tolerance applies only when checking the vehicle level but not for calibration.  
Permissible difference in vehicle level at front axle between right and left sides of the vehicle *BE40.20-P-1002-02I 
Permissible difference in vehicle level at rear axle between right and left sides of the vehicle *BE40.20-P-1002-03I 
6.1 Adjust the vehicle level by changing the springs or spring rubber mounts Vehicles without code (489) Active Body Control (ABC) and if the vehicle level is outside the test tolerance.  
Permissible difference in vehicle level at front axle between right and left sides of the vehicle *BE40.20-P-1002-02I 
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 (semi-active 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
Permissible difference in vehicle level at front axle between right and left sides of the vehicle *BE40.20-P-1002-02I 
Permissible difference in vehicle level at rear axle between right and left sides of the vehicle
IMPORTANT Possible cause, if the vehicle level is not OK after calibration:
  • Attachment of level sensor is misshapen.
 *BE40.20-P-1002-03I 
7 Adjust headlamps Only if the vehicle level has been calibrated.
