INSPECT Check     
1 Carry out preconditions and tests for vehicle level measurement   AR40.00-P-0202A 
2 Clean front axle, rear axle measuring ranges (a, b) IMPORTANT This prevents any measuring errors.  
3 Mount measuring sensor (086a) in the center on spring control arm (17) read off the vehicle level on the inclinometer (086) IMPORTANT The measurement sensor connecting cable (086b) of the measurement sensor (086a) must face towards the vehicle center.
IMPORTANT Fit measuring sensor (086a) as shown to front axle measuring range (a). Measure vehicle level at measuring point 1 (front left) and measuring point 2 (front right). Save measured values.
MODEL 217 Vehicle level - front axle		 *BE40.20-P-1001-02FA 
    MODEL 222 Vehicle level - front axle *BE40.20-P-1001-02BA 
4 Mount measuring sensor (086a) on the center of the rear axle shaft (65) and read off vehicle level on inclinometer (086) IMPORTANT The measurement sensor connecting cable (086b) of the measurement sensor (086a) must face towards the vehicle center.
IMPORTANT Fit measuring sensor (086a) as shown to rear axle measuring range (a). Measure vehicle level at measuring point 3 (rear left) and measuring point 4 (rear right). Save measured values.

    MODEL 222 Permissible difference in vehicle level between right and left side of vehicle *BE40.20-P-1002-03CA 
  Adjust     
7 Calibrate vehicle level using diagnostic system When the vehicle level is outside the test tolerance.  
REFER TO SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS   If the vehicle level is not OK after calibration.
↓
Check mounting of level sensor for any deformation.		 AD00.00-P-2000-04B
8 Check headlamp adjustment Only if the vehicle level has been calibrated.
