DANGER Risk of accident  from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running.Risk of injury  (bruises and burns) resulting from working on the engine while it is being started or when it is running. Secure vehicle to prevent it from starting off by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts. AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
DANGER Risk of burn injuries  , suffocation and poisoning when working on the exhaust system and the components connected to it. Risk of suffocation and risk of poisoning caused by inhalation of gaseous and solid components of the exhaust. Risk of poisoning caused by skin contact with solid components of the exhaust. Wear protective clothing and safety glasses. Use the extraction system. Move people out of the danger zone. AS49.00-Z-0001-01A
  Preparatory activity     
1.1 Set hydraulic valve or electrical selection switch in engine compartment to "TEST" position. Model 124.226/230/290/330/333/393
IMPORTANT Ignition is switched off.
 
1.2 Switch on dynamometer test using steering wheel buttons. Model 197  
REFER TO TESTING & REPAIR   Model 197.3/4
NOTES Do not switch off ESP® using the ESP® Sport OFF button on the center console.
Otherwise, an active intervention by the ESP® brake system may lead to measurement errors.
AR54.30-P-1000-02QQ
2 Change gear ratio from "HIGH RANGE" to "LOW RANGE". Model 164, 166 with code 430 (Offroad package)
Model 463 as of model year 2019 with code ZB4 (Off-Road package)
If "HIGH RANGE" is switched on.
IMPORTANT To do so, press "LOW RANGE" button on lower control panel and drive 20 to 50 m in order to shift from the "HIGH RANGE" on-road ratio to the "LOW RANGE" step-down ratio. If the "Sport" drive program is activated, it is not possible to shift to the "LOW RANGE" step-down ratio.
 
  Brake test on roller brake test stand     
Risk of death  caused by limbs being caught or crushed by rotating parts when performing tests on the brake test stand Never leave the vehicle unattended on the rollers except in an emergency. Ensure that no one is under the vehicle or near rotating parts during testing. In case of emergency, use the EMERGENCY OFF switch to shut down test stand. AS42.00-Z-0001-01A
3 Move vehicle with front axle onto roller brake test stand.    
REFER TO SPECIAL TOOLS 000 588 32 21 00 Roller brake test stand   WS42.00-P-0006B 
4 Shift transmission to idle position "N".    
5 Determine and document the braking characteristics and brake values of the front axle. NOTES On all-wheel drive vehicles, the speed of the roller brake test stand rollers must be max. 5 km/h and may not last longer than 15 s per test of one axle. Between the tests, a waiting period of at least 15 s must be observed, during which the axle may not be driven by the roller brake test stand rollers. The drive train and brake system can otherwise be damaged.
IMPORTANT Press brake pedal uniformly. Document maximum values before wheels lock.
 
6 Move transmission to selector lever position "D". The rollers of the roller brake test stand must be at a standstill.  
7 Move rear axle of vehicle into roller brake test stand.    
REFER TO SPECIAL TOOLS 000 588 32 21 00 Roller brake test stand   WS42.00-P-0006B 
8 Move transmission to selector lever position idle "N".    
9 Determine and document braking characteristics and brake values of rear axle. NOTES On all-wheel drive vehicles, the speed of the roller brake test stand rollers may be max. 5 km/h and may not last for more than 15 s per test of one axle.
Between the tests, a waiting period of at least 15 s must be observed, during which the axle may not be driven by the roller brake test stand rollers.
The drive train and brake system can otherwise be damaged.
IMPORTANT Press brake pedal uniformly. Document maximum values before wheels lock.
 
10.1 Determine and document braking response, brake values and actuating travel of parking brake. Vehicles with mechanically actuated parking brake.
IMPORTANT Operate parking brake uniformly. Document the number of notches and the maximum values prior to the wheels locking up.
 
10.2 Determine and document braking characteristics and brake values for electric parking brake. Model 197, 216, 221
Vehicles with electrically-operated parking brake.
NOTES On all-wheel drive vehicles, the speed of the roller brake test stand rollers must be max. 5 km/h and may not last longer than 15 s per test of one axle.
Between the tests, a waiting period of at least 15 s must be observed, during which the axle may not be driven by the roller brake test stand rollers.
Before operating the electric parking brake, the rear-axle complete wheels must be driven by the roller brake test stand until the vehicle has detected the roller brake test stand so that application of the brake pads is then slowed down.
Otherwise damage may occur.
NOTES Briefly press switch of electric parking brake once, do not press and hold.
Otherwise damage will occur.
IMPORTANT Document maximum values before wheels lock.
 
10.3 Determine and document braking characteristics and brake values for electric parking brake. Model 117, 118, 156, 166, 167, 172, 176, 177, 190, 205, 213, 217, 222, 231, 238, 242, 246, 247, 253, 257, 290, 292, 293
Model 463 as of model year 2019
Vehicles with electrically-operated parking brake.
NOTES On an all-wheel drive vehicle, the speed of the roller brake test stand rollers must be max. 5 km/h and may not last longer than 15 s per test of one axle.
Between the tests, a waiting period of at least 15 s must be observed, during which the axle may not be driven by the roller brake test stand rollers.
Before operating the electric parking brake, the rear-axle complete wheels must be driven by the roller brake test stand until the vehicle has detected the roller brake test stand so that application of the brake pads is then slowed down.
Otherwise damage may occur.
IMPORTANT The electric parking brake brakes briefly and then changes to the roller brake test stand mode.
  • After 3 s press the switch of the electric parking brake again briefly, the electric parking brake brakes with greater brake power.
  • If necessary, after 3 s briefly press the switch of the electric parking brake a 3rd and a 4th time until the wheels lock up.

IMPORTANT Document maximum values before wheels lock.
 
11 Release parking brake and drive vehicle out of roller brake test stand. The rollers of the roller brake test stand must be at a standstill.
