1	Switch off easy entry/exit	Depending on the version, the steering wheel and possibly also the driver seat move to a different position when, for example, the driver door is opened or closed. Damage to the upper frame can occur when the retainer (055) is installed. The system is switched off via the buttons on the steering wheel in the "Comfort" menu of the multifunction display.
2	Swivel the sun visor to one side and fix the steering wheel in the center position using the retainer (055)	Position holding device (055) carefully. In order to prevent damage to the steering wheel and headliner. Retainer device	Fig 6

		MODEL 231	AR46.10-P-0100EW
5	Insert wheel spreader (030) at the inside of the wheel at the front in the direction of travel	The elastic mounts of the transverse control arms and steering linkage result in a correspondingly large toe value which reduces to the correct dimension in the driving condition.
6	Counterhold tie rod (10) at the hexagon and loosen jam nut (10f)
7	Rotate the tie rods (10) to adjust the toe angle.	MODEL 230 without CODE P99 (Special model "AMG Black Series")	*BE40.20-P-1001-07A
