1.1 Switch off easy entry function for driver's seat and steering wheel
- Vehicles with memory.

CAUTION:
- Otherwise the driver's seat and steering wheel move to a different position, e.g. when the driver's door is opened or closed.
- Damage to the upper frame can occur when the holding device (055) is installed.

NOTE: It is switched off using the buttons on the steering wheel in the "Comfort" menu on the multifunction display, see vehicle owner's manual.

1.2 Fix steering wheel in center position
2 Check center position of steering gear and steering wheel
- Turn the steering gear to the center position so that the scribe mark on the cap aligns with the scribe mark on the control valve housing (arrows). If necessary, offset the steering wheel by a maximum of one tooth.

3 Install wheel spreader (030)
- Install wheel spreader (030) at the front on the inside of the wheel

NOTE: The elastic bearing of the transverse control arm and steering linkage produces a correspondingly large toe value that is reduced to the correct dimension in the ready-to-drive condition.

4 Adjust toe

NOTE:
- Adjust toe by slackening the lock nut (10f) and twisting the tie rods (10).
- Check that the CV boot is not twisted after adjusting the toe.
