SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED:

2015400000 - Panel, Calibration, Forward Facing Camera-HALF
2015401000 - Panel
2015402000 - Block, Mounting
2015403000 - Stand

A commercially available tape measure such as FASTCAP PMS-12 or equivalent is needed for centimeter measurements.

NOTE:

The following procedure explains how to calibrate the Forward Facing Camera HALF (FFCM-HALF) when replacing the FFCM-HALF (a replacement FFCM-HALF is not factory calibrated). This procedure should also be used when the windshield is replaced.

Perform the following checks and setup prior to performing the calibration procedure:

Confirm that the vehicle is unloaded (no luggage or extra weight being carried).
Check and correct the tire pressures as needed.
Check that the windshield is free of damage, is clean and that there are no impediments to the vision of the FFCM-HALF.
Place the vehicle on level ground and in good light.
Align the wheels to the longitudinal axis of the car.

NOTE:

The calibration procedure is performed by placing the equipment to two different distances from the FFCM-HALF. The diagnostic scan tool will warn when changing its position.

NOTE:

The equipment must be positioned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car.

NOTE:

Small variations compared to the dimensions will prevent FFCM-HALF calibration.

Place the tool (1a) on a suitable support (1b), at a height from the ground (1c) of 90 cm and the distance (1d) of 170 cm from the FFCM-HALF.

NOTE:

It is critical to not alter the position of the equipment between the two phases of the calibration procedure. If possible, proceed with the handling of the vehicle itself and not the equipment. If this is not possible, be very careful when moving the equipment to not alter the angle of the panel with respect to the vehicle. Small variations compared to the dimensions will prevent FFCM-HALF calibration.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Connect the diagnostic scan tool and start the car. The system must not be activated.
Start the calibration function through the diagnostic scan tool.
At the end of the first phase of the calibration routine, the diagnostic tool will alert you to change the location of the equipment.
Position the equipment at a distance of 270 cm from the FFCM-HALF.
Proceed with the second phase of the calibration following the instructions on the diagnostic scan tool.
The diagnosis scan tool will display a message indicating the end of the calibration procedure has been reached. In case of calibration failure the diagnostic tool will also indicate the causes.
Disconnect the diagnostic scan tool and run a cycle key.

NOTE:

If during operation, the LDW+ system releases alerts inconsistent with the actual driving conditions (eg: vehicle properly between lanes but notice the crossing lane), the system must be calibrated again.
