Checking Riding Height: Notes

NOTE: During procedures number(s) and letter(s) in parentheses correspond to number(s) and letter(s) inside the illustration(s). The word arrow(s) in parentheses is used to point out specific components or movement.

230 Chassis require the use of electronic inclination measuring instrument (CM-9606) to measure front and rear vehicle level (ride height). See Fig 1 , Fig 2 and Figure . Vehicles with Active Body Control (ABC) requires the use of Mercedes-Benz "STAR DIAGNOSIS" compact PC (6511 1801 00), to diagnose the system if ride height is not within specification. It is necessary to check vehicle riding height using a servicing pit or alignment rack. Vehicle weight must be on wheels. See instrument(s) manufacturer for tool usage.
