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

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2015 Audi S8, 2015 Audi A8 Quattro, 2014 Audi S8, 2014 Audi A8 Quattro, and 2013 Audi S8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.

Make sure the Calibration Tool - Spacing LaserVAS6350/2 -1- is adjusted correctly (attach with front edge).

The display shows how to stop the Calibration Tool - Spacing LaserVAS6350/2. Press the corresponding button.

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.
