INSPECT Check     
1 Preconditions for vehicle level measurement   AR40.00-P-0202A 
2 Clean measuring points    
3 Position measurement sensor (086a) on cross strut (17 or 17b) and read off vehicle level on inclinometer (086) at measuring point
(front left)
   
REFER TO SPECIAL TOOLS 000 588 05 19 00 Inclinometer   WS40.00-P-0007B
    NOTES
The measurement sensor connecting cable (086b) must face towards the vehicle center. Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate.
IMPORTANT Save measured values.
IMPORTANT
Model 207 with code M005 (4MATIC)  : Mount measuring sensor (086a) roughly in the center of the cross strut (17).
 
    IMPORTANT
Model 172, 207 except code M005 (4MATIC): 
In order to prevent the measuring sensor (086a) lying on the cross strut (17b) and therefore making a faulty measurement, the measuring sensor (086a) must be mounted between the two humps (arrows) and pressed towards the wheel. The measuring sensor (086a) must make contact with the outboard hump (arrow).
