6	Clean measuring ranges (a, b).
7	Place measuring sensor (086a) in measuring range (a) and measure vehicle level at measuring point 1 (front left) and measuring point 2 (front right).	The connecting cable (086b) for the measurement sensor (086a) must face towards the vehicle center. Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate. Save measured values.
8	Place measuring sensor (086a) in measuring range (b) and measure vehicle level at measuring point 3 (rear left) and measuring point 4 (rear right).	The connecting cable (086b) for the measurement sensor (086a) must face towards the vehicle center. Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate. Save measured values.
9	Check maximum permissible difference in vehicle level between left and right side of vehicle at front axle.	Assign suspension data Model 293	AR40.20-P-0203EQC
