The adjustment range of the spring plates is only approved within the range of the values given
in Point I. Adjustment must be carried out so that the body is level when the vehicle is empty
apart from the driver. The lowest approved adjustment and the permissible adjustment range are
to be entered, stating the fixed axle reference points. (Example, see below).

¾ There are no technical objections against the use of all O.E. wheel/tyre combinations, except:
The o.e. tire/wheel combination 205/45R17 on 7x17, ET48 must be provided at the front axle with a 5
mm spacer disc. Alternatively a special wheel with a 5 mm reduced offset may be used.
¾ Because of the increased bump travel on axle 1, all special wheel/tyre combinations which have al-
ready been entered ( approved) must be re- examined with regard to freedom of motion. Critical areas
are f.e. area of inner and outer tyre flank above centre of wheel.
¾ In so far as these wheel-/ tyre combinations are not listed below, the examination must by carried out
by an officially recognised expert or test engineer at a TÜV/TÜH test facility. The vehicle registration
document in accordance with §21 German Road Traffic Licensing Code - StVZO must be presented.
Any certificates already obtained with regard to special wheel/tyre combinations are invalid if they do
not contain a reference to the suspension system described in this document.
¾ The dynamic ground clearance is decreased by the provision of special springs/dampers which in-
crease the bump travel of the front and rear axle. In the case of the test vehicle, the distance from the
ground amounted to 105 mm under the motor crossbar. Care must be taken when driving over
humps, barriers and heightened paving or road surfaces. If special spoilers, aprons and exhaust sys-
tems are mounted, attention must be paid to the decreased overhang angle (driving up ramps etc.).
¾ The specified minimum height of the coupling ball above the road surface with the permissible total
weight of the vehicle (acc. DIN 74058) is 350 mm.
