MODEL ALL with CODE 217 (Level control on rear axle with ADS) with CODE 480 (Self-levelling suspension) 

The following conditions must be observed when checking the oil level in the oil reservoir: 

1. The vehicle must be on its wheels.
2. The check must be performed in a ready-to-drive condition:
   • Vehicle ready for use with oil and coolant reservoirs filled.
   • Fuel tank filled, if necessary, compensate for missing fuel by means of additional weight in trunk.
   • Spare tire and vehicle tool kit in vehicle.
   • Vehicle unloaded. Remove any luggage, fuel canisters etc. from the vehicle.

   For vehicles with level control/ADS the oil level in the oil reservoir in a laden vehicle can also drop below the "min." marking on the oil dipstick.
