If Slow to Calibrate

The ideal calibration condition is driving on a freeway or two lane road with medium traffic. One or more of the following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-calibration procedure:

• Visually inspect for damaged, bent, or broken Long Range Radar bracket. Brackets out of level more than 2 degrees will not calibrate or self-learn. Discuss with the customer about vehicle history and possible past accident. Replace bracket if damaged.
• Heavy traffic - following too close behind vehicles for long periods (more than 40 min)
• Stop and go or very slow traffic
• Mountain roads
• Constant sharp curves in roadway
• No traffic - if no traffic is available, may need to add vehicle ahead to support calibration
• Limited or no stationary structures on side of the road - need structures such as street signs, guard rails, mail boxes, parked cars, etc.
• Driving in tunnels
