Left Peripheral Camera -R244- /Right Peripheral Camera -R245- CALIBRATING

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

The Left Peripheral Camera -R244- /Right Peripheral Camera -R245- are installed inside the left and right exterior mirrors.

The following describes calibrating the Left Peripheral Camera -R244-. Calibrating the Right Peripheral Camera -R245- is identical.

-- Set-up requirements, refer to Calibration Requirements .

-- Install and align the Calibration ToolVAS6350 with Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS6350/6, refer to Calibration Tool VAS6350 WITH Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS6350/6, INSTALLING AND ALIGNING .

-- Connect Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

Setting Up the Calibration Device 

Attaching the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1:

-- Check the dimension of the holes.

-- Equip the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 appropriately. Use spacer pieces.

-- To do this, secure three wheel bolt adapters in the hole circle to the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1.

-- Position the paddle on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 and secure using the clamping screw.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 on the wheel bolts on the left front wheel.

The Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingVAS6350/1 is positioned by the "O rings" in the adapters and held in place.

NOTE:

Attach the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingVAS6350/1 onto the wheel so that any installed "anti-theft" wheel mounting bolts are not connected to the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1.

-- Position the equipped Calibration ToolVAS6350 with the Peripheral Camera Calibration DeviceVAS6350/6 -4- near the vehicle.

-- Adjust the paddle -2- with a clamping screw so that it moves freely and easily just over the Calibration ToolVAS6350 -4- calibration platform.

Installing the Calibration Tool - Linear LaserVAS6350/3:

-- Install the Guide PinsVAS6350/6-5 -2- until stop with the 3/8" fine toothed ratchet on the left rear wheel and install the Peripheral Camera Calibration DeviceVAS6350/6-6 together with the Calibration Tool - Linear LaserVAS6350/3 -1-.

-- Adjust the Calibration ToolVAS6350 -4- calibration field such that the outer edge of the black line on the Calibration ToolVAS6350 -4- calibration field is exactly on the laser beam.

-- Adjust the Calibration ToolVAS6350 -4- calibration field relative to the outer edge of the black line -1- so that it lines up exactly with the free-hanging paddle on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 -2-.

-- Bring the Calibration ToolVAS6350 with Peripheral Camera Calibration DeviceVAS6350/6 into a horizontal position.

-- To do this, twist plastic feet under the calibration field of the Calibration ToolVAS6350 so that air bubble in level is located exactly in the center of the indicator -arrow-

WARNING:

Make sure light does not reflect off the Peripheral Camera Calibration DeviceVAS6350/6.

Reflections affect the camera and may make it impossible to perform the calibration.

Dimension measurement -h- : 

-- Measure the height of the Calibration ToolVAS6350 -2- calibration field, dimension -h-, from the surface of the Calibration ToolVAS6350 -2- calibration field (not the aluminum frame) down to the floor. Measure the hole in the Calibration ToolVAS6350 -2- calibration field.

Dimension -h- and the distance dimension must now be entered into the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in "millimeters".

Performing Calibration 

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is attached.

-- Choose operation mode Diagnosis  and start the diagnosis.

-- Select the tab Test Plan  .

-- Select Select Individual Tests  and choose the following sequence.

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester continues with the calibrating procedure from here on.

WARNING:

Make sure light does not reflect off the Peripheral Camera Calibration DeviceVAS6350/6.

Reflections affect the camera and may make it impossible to perform the calibration.
