Calibrating/Adjusting with a Previous Axle Alignment
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect the battery charger. Refer to Electrical Equipment Battery, Charging.
- Position the front wheels so they are straight. -->
- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle and guide the diagnostic cable through the open window.
- Turn off all vehicle exterior lamps.
- Close all vehicle door.
Procedure for All
- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle and guide the diagnostic cable through the open window.
- Position the Night Vision Calibration Tool on the center of the calibration beam of the -VAS6430/1-.
- The opening -arrows- must surround the nut and bolt -A- when the Night Vision Calibration Tool is pushed onto the calibration beam.
- Fold up the right and left bracket -A-.
- Tighten the right and left clamping screw -1- hand-tight.
- Set up the -VAS6430/1- and the -VAS6430/6- in front of the vehicle.
- Position the -VAS6430/6- in distance -A- to the infrared camera.
NOTE:
Distance -A- = 120 cm ± 2.5 cm, measured between the -VAS6430/6- and the lens on the -R212-.
- Attach the measuring sensor for the front wheels to the calibration beam.
- For the following work steps, the hoist must be in the lowest position -A-.
- Install and secure the -VAS6350/3- -arrow- into the guide in the Night Vision Calibration Tool.
- Switch on the -VAS6350/3-. A laser beam is beamed on the vehicle.
- Turn the lever on the back of the calibration board to align the laser beam so that it is in the center of the camera lens in the horizontal position.
The specified height is now reached and the -VAS6350/3A- can be switched off.
- Level the bubble level -A- using the adjusting screw -1-.
The bubble adjustment -A- serves to compare the ground conditions.
- Move the -VAS6430/1- sideways in direction of -arrow B- until the display on the alignment computer is within the tolerance range.
- Secure the -VAS6430/1- by tightening the bolts -2 and 3- slightly. (This prevents the -VAS6430- from rolling away).
- Turn the precision adjustment screw -1- on the calibration beam until the display on the alignment computer is located within the tolerance range.
- Level the bubble level -A- using the adjusting screw -1-.
- Level the bubble level -B- using the adjusting screw -2-.
- Turn the -VAS6350/3- back on and check the specified height and correct if necessary. A laser beam is beamed on the vehicle.
- Turn the lever on the back of the calibration board to align the laser beam so that it is in the center of the camera lens in the horizontal position.
The specified height is now reached and the -VAS6350/3A- can be switched off.
- Connect the network connector -A- from the Night Vision Assist Calibration and Adjust Tool to the current network.
- Turn on the switch -B- on the Night Vision Assist Calibration and Adjust Tool.
NOTE:
An internal initialization takes place after switching on the Infrared System Calibration Plate. Both LEDs -C- blink at the same time and an acoustic tone will sound if the initialization is successful and was performed without any faults. After this, the Infrared System Calibration Plate is in the ready mode. The green LED will blink slowly.
NOTE:
Check the bubble level and correct the adjustment if necessary.
- Push the button -A- to activate the heating function.
An acoustic signal will sound when the heating function is activated. The heat-up phase has begun.
As soon as the specified temperature is reached, the green LED will stay on.
The heating elements switch off automatically after 20 minutes. An acoustic signal will sound approximately 1 minute before the heating elements switch off automatically.
Press the button -A- at any time to reset the timer back to 20 minutes. An short acoustic signal confirms that it has be reset.
