WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi SQ5, 2017 Audi Q5, 2016 Audi SQ5, 2016 Audi Q5, and 2015 Audi SQ5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

-- Setup requirements, refer to Calibration Tool VAS6350, INSTALLING AND ALIGNING .

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 installing:

-- Check which hole circle the rims have.

-- Mount the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 appropriately.

-- To do so, attach three wheel bolt adapters in the bolt circle to each Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1.

-- Attach paddles to both Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 and secure them with clamping screw.

-- Place the Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 onto the wheel bolts on the rear wheels.

The Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1 are positioned by the "O rings" in the adapters and held in place.

NOTE:

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

-- Adjust paddle with aid of clamping screws so that they move freely just above the floor. Make sure the paddles move easily.

-- Install and align the Calibration ToolVAS6350, refer to Calibration Tool VAS6350, INSTALLING AND ALIGNING .

Distance measurement:

-- Switch on the Calibration Tool - Spacing LaserVAS6350/2.

-- Press the measuring button briefly.

The laser turns on.

-- Make sure that the laser beam from Calibration Tool - Spacing LaserVAS6350/2 -2- hits on the lower, enlarged part of paddle -1-.

If this is not the case, correct the paddles accordingly using clamping screws on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center MountingsVAS6350/1.

-- Use one hand to secure the Calibration Tool - Spacing LaserVAS6350/2 in the bracket on the Calibration UnitVAS6350A while the laser beam is visible on the paddle.

-- Press the measuring button briefly for the distance measurement.

-- Note the value read off.

-- Repeat measuring procedure in the same manner for the other rear wheel on the other side of the Calibration UnitVAS6350A.

The distance value must be the same on both sides.

If values are not identical:

-- Align the Calibration UnitVAS6350A long enough so that both sides are identical.

Pay attention when aligning the Calibration UnitVAS6350A, that the Calibration Tool - Linear LaserVAS6350/3 from the Calibration UnitVAS6350A strikes the center of the Audi rings and the indicator of the level remains centered. If necessary, make further corrections.

Dimension measurement -H- :

-- Measure the height of the Calibration UnitVAS6350A, dimension -H- (top edge platform - floor).

Enter the height and distance dimensions into the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in "millimeters".

Performing calibration

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is attached.

-- Select the Diagnostic  mode and start the diagnostics.
