Wheel Run-Out Compensation

A correct toe-in adjustment will not be possible without performing lateral run-out compensation!

The lateral run-out of the wheel must be compensated for. Otherwise, measurement will result in false readings.

Permissible axial run-out of the wheel rims can exceed the specified toe setting tolerance. If compensation for wheel run-out is not performed, it will not be possible to obtain a correct toe-in adjustment.

Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the alignment equipment.

The vehicle has an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission. The following therefore must be taken into consideration during a wheel run-out compensation: if the engine is shut off while the transmission is in N  , then the transmission will stay in N  for approximately 30 minutes and will then automatically shift into P  . P  will engage directly as soon as the key is removed or the driver door is opened (vehicles with comfort key), refer to the Owner's Manual.
