C230K Coupe alignment question

2004 - 4900 miles and left front tire, outside edge of tire was starting to wear....took to dealer. After adjustment, had to go back because of slight "drift" to left and steering wheel was offcenter to the right. After the 2nd alignment, the drift is gone, but the steering wheel still is not perfectly "dead on" as far as being centered. My question concerns the numbers on the print out......at the bottom is a legend that explains the asterick means "out of tolerance" and the d means "exceeds cross tolerance". I have several astericks and several d's...........

Rear Camber
Left is -0 45 * Target is -1 21 +/-0 30

Front Camber
Left is -0 13 d Target is -0 29 +/- 0 22
Right is -0 42 d Target is -0 29 +/- 0 22

Front Caster
Left is 10 42 d Target is 10 32 +/- 0 30
Right is 10 04 d Target is 10 30 +/- 0 30

The guy couldn't really explain it well to me but said it didn't matter and was ok. Something about Cross Tolerance not mattering, etc. This was at RBM of Atlanta Service Express.....

Anyone knowledgable, please provide your input. If you have a book with specs, please see if this is ok....to me it's wrong because it doesn't match the target data.
