Order No.: S-B-60.10/21
Group: 20
SUBJECT: MY-All, Model 164 as of A2343472 and Model 212
New Gauge Checking Bore in Underfloor
Model 212 and Model 164 as of A2343472 have new gauge checking embossing (1) (Figure 1). This replaces the previous gauge checking bore (2)
(Figure 1).
Procedure
When repairing or doing reforming work or before welding in new parts within the body shell structure, the vehicle is aligned in the usual manner
using the suitable straightening tool set. The straightening tool for tolerance checking with the new plug gauge (tip angle 90°) ensures that the
vehicle is fixed parallel to the straightening bench.
In the case of all new steel body structures in the central floor area between the front and rear axle, this measuring point will be marked with a center
point for the embossing plug gauge. In addition a ring-shaped part circle bead or full circle bead (3) is provided for locating the center point
embossing of the floor area.

Dedicated Straightening Equipment For Collision Repair
Mercedes-Benz collision repair procedures are very specific concerning the type of equipment used in the repair and reconditioning of bodies
following an accident. Mercedes-Benz collision repair procedures require that vehicles requiring structural repairs or major tensioning forces (pulling) be repaired on a Mercedes-Benz "approved" dedicated straightening bench. "Structural" damage, for example, is any damage to axle mounting points or side/cross members. The vehicle must be mounted and securely fastened to the dedicated straightening bench at points not
affected by the accident using the straightening brackets and the vehicle-defined mounting points. Mounting the body in this method allows for
dimension variations in the deformed parts to be immediately recognizable.
There are a number of reasons why Mercedes-Benz requires dedicated fixtures when performing certain types of repairs. When new models are
being developed, research is conducted to determine the methods which must be followed in order to restore a collision damaged vehicle. In the
process of evaluating repair practices, vehicles are crashed and repaired using various techniques including splicing in various areas, and then
crashed again in order to identify the methods that best permit that the repaired vehicle will offer the equivalent level of structural integrity as the
vehicle is originally assembled. The results of these tests are the basis for establishing Mercedes-Benz collision repair procedures.
Mercedes-Benz does not publish body dimension data nor do we approve performing comparative measurements to determine vehicle location or
measuring points to perform body repairs. The fixed mounting points on the body along with the use of a dedicated fixture bench and straightening
brackets provide for an exact and proper placement of the body. This method is used to duplicate the precision necessary to ensure that the repaired
body meets our specifications. When comparing the time required to set up the vehicle on a dedicated fixture bench and the entire straightening and
repair procedure, the times may appear to be negative, however they are more than compensated for by the quicker straightening and welding work
without the need for any body re-adjustment.
When using a bench for straightening, the force is initiated at vehicle points specifically designed for this purpose. The straightening brackets absorb
the pulling forces. The correct amount of pulling is achieved when the body measurement point locates itself with the matching straightening bracket
without stress. New body parts can be "located" over the straightening bracket for accurate welding with no distortion. Measurement errors, such as
can arise with measuring systems, cannot occur.
In the United States, the only companies marketing straightening equipment approved by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC are Celette and Car Bench.
Both Celette and Car Bench work closely with Daimler AG (Stuttgart) in designing and building dedicated fixture sets for Mercedes-Benz and
Maybach vehicles which not only provide for accurate component location, but also provide a safe, proper anchoring of the vehicle during pulling
operations.
Note:
Daimler AG specifically states jacking points in the rocker panels are to be used only to lift a vehicle, and are not designed to be used as or appropriate for use to anchor the vehicle for structural repairs. The longitudinal pinch welds for the floor pan are not designed or intended to be used for anchoring the body. When using pinch welds to carry out straightening repairs, the vehicle can work loose and warp. Constant readjustment is necessary and damage to previously undamaged body panels is possible. Therefore, these systems are not suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and in this respect can only be regarded as supplemental equipment for use on competitor vehicles or for damage diagnosis.
In addition:
When performing any repairs on Mercedes-Benz and Maybach vehicles, the correct procedures must be followed. The correct materials, tools and equipment must be used. In the event that jobs are performed as sublet repairs, the dealer is responsible for providing these materials, tools, equipment and procedures to those performing the repairs.
Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Repair Facilities are required to use Mercedes-Benz approved dedicated straightening equipment, straightening fixtures and follow Mercedes-Benz work procedures to perform structural repairs. Failure to do so may result in the decertification of the Certified Repair Facility.

affected by the accident using the straightening brackets and the vehicle-defined mounting points. Mounting the body in this method allows for
dimension variations in the deformed parts to be immediately recognizable.
There are a number of reasons why Mercedes-Benz requires dedicated fixtures when performing certain types of repairs. When new models are
being developed, research is conducted to determine the methods which must be followed in order to restore a collision damaged vehicle. In the
process of evaluating repair practices, vehicles are crashed and repaired using various techniques including splicing in various areas, and then
crashed again in order to identify the methods that best permit that the repaired vehicle will offer the equivalent level of structural integrity as the
vehicle is originally assembled. The results of these tests are the basis for establishing Mercedes-Benz collision repair procedures.
Mercedes-Benz does not publish body dimension data nor do we approve performing comparative measurements to determine vehicle location or
measuring points to perform body repairs. The fixed mounting points on the body along with the use of a dedicated fixture bench and straightening
brackets provide for an exact and proper placement of the body. This method is used to duplicate the precision necessary to ensure that the repaired
body meets our specifications. When comparing the time required to set up the vehicle on a dedicated fixture bench and the entire straightening and
repair procedure, the times may appear to be negative, however they are more than compensated for by the quicker straightening and welding work
without the need for any body re-adjustment.
When using a bench for straightening, the force is initiated at vehicle points specifically designed for this purpose. The straightening brackets absorb
the pulling forces. The correct amount of pulling is achieved when the body measurement point locates itself with the matching straightening bracket
without stress. New body parts can be "located" over the straightening bracket for accurate welding with no distortion. Measurement errors, such as
can arise with measuring systems, cannot occur.
In the United States, the only companies marketing straightening equipment approved by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC are Celette and Car Bench.
Both Celette and Car Bench work closely with Daimler AG (Stuttgart) in designing and building dedicated fixture sets for Mercedes-Benz and
Maybach vehicles which not only provide for accurate component location, but also provide a safe, proper anchoring of the vehicle during pulling
operations.
Note:
Daimler AG specifically states jacking points in the rocker panels are to be used only to lift a vehicle, and are not designed to be used as or appropriate for use to anchor the vehicle for structural repairs. The longitudinal pinch welds for the floor pan are not designed or intended to be used for anchoring the body. When using pinch welds to carry out straightening repairs, the vehicle can work loose and warp. Constant readjustment is necessary and damage to previously undamaged body panels is possible. Therefore, these systems are not suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and in this respect can only be regarded as supplemental equipment for use on competitor vehicles or for damage diagnosis.
In addition:
When performing any repairs on Mercedes-Benz and Maybach vehicles, the correct procedures must be followed. The correct materials, tools and equipment must be used. In the event that jobs are performed as sublet repairs, the dealer is responsible for providing these materials, tools, equipment and procedures to those performing the repairs.
Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Repair Facilities are required to use Mercedes-Benz approved dedicated straightening equipment, straightening fixtures and follow Mercedes-Benz work procedures to perform structural repairs. Failure to do so may result in the decertification of the Certified Repair Facility.

I/M 240 Emissions Testing on Dynamometer
The enhanced Inspection/Maintenance emission testing program (I/M 240) is in effect in several states.
It is recommended that all vehicles be tested on a 4-wheel dynamometer.
The following vehicle may be tested on a 2-wheel dynamometer:
^ Mercedes-Benz vehicles that are 2WD and not equipped with Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR)
^ Mercedes-Benz Maybach and smart vehicles that are 2WD and have "Dyno-Mode" capability (must be activated)
The following vehicles must be tested on a 4-wheel dynamometer:
^ Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with ASR
^ Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with 4MATIC
^ Mercedes-Benz vehicles that are 2WD and do not have "Dyno-Mode" capability
Please see Attachment 1 for a list of vehicles that must be tested on a 4-wheel dynamometer.

Please see Attachment 2 for a list of vehicles with "Dyno-Mode" capability and the activation procedure.
According to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) procedures, if an emissions inspector has difficulty performing the I/M 240 test on a
2-wheel dynamometer, the following should be considered:
^ Test the vehicle on a 4-wheel dynamometer, or
^ Perform an optional emission test at idle +2500 rpm
An emissions inspector should also consider the options above if they are uncertain about the Dyno-M ode activation procedure or is uncertain about
which vehicles can operate on a 2-wheel dynamometer.
