Smart Cruise Control (SCC) Radar Alignment

Stop the vehicle on a level ground.
NOTE:
- Adjustment may not be accurate if the installation surface height, and angles of the vehicle and reflector are different.
- Perform in an area with minimum clearance of 8m front, 4m sides, and 1.2m above the vehicle.
- Remove heavy objects from inside of the vehicle (seating area and trunk).
- Ensure that all tires are filled with spec air pressure.
- Remove objects (metal plates, resins, etc.) that may cause electric signal interference from the area where sensor alignment is performed.
- Be sure that the vehicle is firmly fixed to ground free from vibration when performing sensor alignment (getting in/out or opening/closing doors).
- Check that radiator grill and sensor cover are not dirty.
- Check that the wheel alignment is normal.
- Do not turn OFF the power when performing sensor alignment.
- Power supplied to the radar sensor must be between 9V~16V.
- Temperature in the area where sensor alignment is performed must be between -30~60°C.

Disconnect the SCC Calibration Laser (SST No.: 09964-C1200) from the tripod (SST No.: 09964-C1300).
Connect the reflector (SST No.: 09964-C1100) to the tripod (SST No.: 09964-C1300) and set the reflector center height to 394 mm.

NOTE: Balance the level so that the bubble in the level is set between the spec lines.
Install the reflector to match the weight (A) with the point (B).

NOTE: Visually check that the reflecting side of the reflector is levelled with the front of the vehicle.
Check again the radar sensor and the surface of front bumper for the following items with the eyes.
NOTE:
- Make sure that there is no debris, or reflecting object on the surface of the radar.
- Make sure that there is no debris, or reflecting object on the radiator grill.
Connect the GDS to the DLC of the vehicle and start sensor alignment.
NOTE: When the engine is running, the vibration may cause inaccurate sensor alignment, so perform sensor alignment in IG ON mode.
After correctly selecting the vehicle model, select "SCC Alignment" from the auxiliary functions in GDS Menu.
