Checking Riding Height: Notes

NOTE: Vehicle riding height and vehicle level may be considered the same measurement. Depending on chassis number these measurements may vary in procedure: mechanical gauges for riding height versus electronic measuring instruments for vehicle level.

Chassis number 211 requires 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 Airmatic Dual Control requires the use of Mercedes-Benz "STAR DIAGNOSIS" (6511 1801 00). 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.
