1 Switch off easy entry function for driver's seat and steering wheel

CAUTION: Otherwise the driver's seat and steering wheel move to a different position, e.g. when the driver's door is opened/closed. The upper frame of the windshield may be damaged when the holding device (055) is installed.

NOTE: It is switched off with the buttons on the steering wheel in the menu "Comfort" of the multifunction display. See vehicle operating instructions.

2 Secure steering wheel in center position using holding device (055)

NOTE: Swing the sun visor to the side and install the holding device (055).

3 Check center position of steering gear and steering wheel

NOTE: The steering gear is in the center position when the marking line on the cover is opposite the marking notch on the rotary valve (arrow).

- Adjust steering wheel by max. one tooth if necessary.

4 Insert wheel spreader (030)
- install wheel spreader (030) at the front on the inside of the wheel.

NOTE: The elastic bearings of the spring links, torque struts and steering linkage produce a correspondingly large toe measurement which decreases to the correct size in curb condition.

5 Adjust toe

NOTE: Adjust toe by slackening the lock nut (10f) and twisting the tie rods (10).

- Check that the bellows are not twisted after adjusting the toe.
