1 Checking and preparing for wheel alignment   AR40.20-P-0060AC 
2 Position front wheels of vehicle on turntables IMPORTANT If using an electronic measuring system with integrated turntables, the measuring system must be approved by Mercedes-Benz. AR40.20-P-0200-12AC 
3 Using the adapter, install the brake pedal retaining tool between the pedal and the driver seat SPECIAL TOOL Adapter for brake pedal winch Fig 2
    SPECIAL TOOL Brake pedal jack Fig 1
4 Open window on driver's door    
5 Switch off ignition    
6 Mount universal bracket for measurement pickup onto front and rear wheels   AR40.20-P-0231AC 
7 Attach and adjust measurement pickup IMPORTANT Observe the operator's manual for the measuring system at all times.  
8 Determine specified value for caster IMPORTANT Fluctuations in axle load for the various models and equipment will cause the caster value to change depending on the vehicle load relative to the spring travel. It is not possible to correct the caster value on the vehicle. The specified caster value is changed only if the trailing arms are bent or the suspension tubes are twisted. AR40.20-P-0336AC 
9 Unlock turntables    
10 Perform initial measurement IMPORTANT Observe the operator's manual for the measuring system at all times.
