NOTE:
Measuring Device (201 589 00 21 00) and (201 589 01 21 00) must be used to check ride height. It is necessary to check vehicle riding height using a servicing pit or alignment rack. Vehicle weight must be on wheels.
NOTE:
On vehicles with Adaptive Damping System (ADS), ensure oil level in level control system is full and system is functioning properly. If vehicle with ADS is too low, level must NOT be corrected by modifying connecting rod of the level control. Check level control system functions.
