Post Collision
All cars with Active Cruise Control require calibrations. Your alignment machines do not have an inclinometer function built in!
You must measure chassis sag with a CM 09606
If you R & R the radar transmitter or the front clip it mounts to, calibrate it! It is done with the Distronic Adjusting Device 09807-10

Important note!
We have talked with many alignment shops and Mercedes-Benz specialists and all of them have said that they are cheating this process! Some shops are arbitrarily entering numbers, others are using an I Phone with its levelling App. The i Scan offers several different inclonometer settings to choose. Some shops just keep clicking until the Distronic accepts the last choice. This is a very bad idea.
UNDERSTAND the IMPLICATIONS!
Once the lawyers get hold of a shop and determine that they can deny a big $$$ claim based on an incorrectly calibrated Distronic system, they will never let up! If you are doing alignments on Mercedes-Benz Distronic vehicles and do not have access to a Romess gauge you are liable. You should not be doing them!
TECHNICIANS Don't let this happen to you!
Technicians are the first people that get sued for a settlement. Once the technicians liability policy assets are gone, They take your house and money! Then the insurance companies go after the store or dealerships assets!
