Forward Range Radar Module Alignment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Buick LaCrosse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION:

    Always use care when handling the forward range radar module and bracket. Improper handling can cause damage to the module or bracket and affect the functionality of the system.

  1. Inspect the forward range radar module for damage. Refer to Forward Range Radar Module Inspection .
  2. The alignment of the forward range radar module is performed under the following vehicle conditions:
    • With an empty vehicle:
      • There shall not be any person in the vehicle
      • Specific equipment can remain in the vehicle
      • Luggage must not exceed 5 kg (11 lb)
    • The vehicle must stand on a flat surface. The level of the ground must not vary by more than +/-7 mm/m. This corresponds to 0.4 degrees, using a water bubble level.
    • Vehicle tires must have specified air pressure.
