	Check
1	Check condition of vehicle.	Before measuring the vehicle level make damaged or worn. For the vehicle level check all vehicle parts must be installed and the vehicle completed and in a ready to drive condition. The vehicle must not be loaded.
2	Check and correct tire pressure.
			AP40.15-P-4061D
3	Drive the vehicle onto measuring station and secure using parking brake.
4	Unlock turn and slip plates.
5	Clean measuring ranges (a, b).
6	Remove trim from rear spring link (4) of rear axle.
7.1	Place measuring sensor (1) on spring link (2) of front axle in measuring range (a) and measure vehicle level at right and left spring link (2).	Model 223 except code 490 (Electrohydraulic suspension) except code M005 (Vehicles with 4MATIC/all-wheel drive)

9	Check maximum permissible difference in vehicle level between left and right side of vehicle at front axle.	Assign suspension data The specified test tolerance applies only when checking the vehicle level but not for calibration.	AR40.20-P-0203S
10	Check maximum permissible difference in vehicle level between left and right side of vehicle at rear axle.	Assign suspension data The specified test tolerance applies only when checking the vehicle level but not for calibration.	AR40.20-P-0203S
11	Install trim on rear spring link (4) of rear axle.
	Adjust
12	Calibrate vehicle level using vehicle diagnosis system.	When the vehicle level is outside the test
			AD00.00-P-2000-06FR
13	Check and correct headlamp adjustment.	Only if the vehicle level has been calibrated.
