Visual And Function Check For Wheels, Tires

• Check for run-out and imbalance. Refer to appropriate service information. .
• Check tires for cuts and impact damage in tread and on sides. Refer to appropriate service information. .
• Check the tire pressures. The tire pressures are listed on the tire pressure label on the inside of the tank flap or refer to appropriate service information

Replace the tire if the wheel rim and/or the tire are damaged. This also applies when the course of the accident and damage on the vehicle points to possible non-visible damages.

Another criteria is the age of the tires: the tires must not be older than 6 years.

If In Doubt: 

• As soon as a safety risk cannot be ruled out, the tire(s) must be replaced.

Entire Vehicle 

Also check other vehicle systems as, for example:

• Brake system including ABS
• Exhaust system and passenger protection by visual and function check

Test values, adjustment values and notes can be found in respective repair manuals/ELSA.

This test is for checking the chassis on a vehicle, that has been in a collision. The test does not cover the entire vehicle.

Electronic Vehicle Systems

Safety related systems, such as: ABS/EDS; Airbag; electronically controlled suspension systems; electromechanical; electrohydraulic steering and other driver assist systems must be checked for possible stored fault messages using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. If faults were stored in the DTC memory for the system mentioned, then these systems must be serviced according to the specifications in the repair manual/ELSA. After performing repairs, check the fault stored in the DTC memory of the affected system again, to make sure that proper function can be ensured again.
