Model 223.9 

The following steps are shown on the left side of the vehicle and must be performed analogously on the right side in the event of damage.

The superordinate service document as well as the safety information in the service document must be observed.

The graphics show the vehicle from the mechanic's perspective. At the same time, this perspective also specifies the direction in which the rivets must be placed.
