Information

The lateral alignment takes about 5 to 15 minutes generally but it can be shorten or extended depending on the road condition or driving condition.
- Road or driving conditions for shortening the alignment:
  - Driving at more than 65 km/h
  - Driving on a road without curve and slope
  - Driving on a thick and wide paved road
  - Driving on a road where there are repetitive and fixed targets (metal materials such as street lights or guard rails)
  - Driving on a dry road without rain or snow
- Road or driving conditions that can interrupt the alignment process
  - Driving a road with the sharp curve where the radius is within 100m
  - Driving at a lower speed than suggested above or during a stop due to a red light
  - Driving in a tunnel or under an overpass
  - Driving in a tunnel or under an overpass
CAUTION:
Be sure to follow the below safety guidelines while driving the vehicle for the lateral alignment:
- Observe a regulation speed
- Do not drive too fast for shortening the sensor alignment. Drive safely considering the road condition and traffic situation.
- Do not stare the KDS screen or operate the KDS while driving. Only while stopping, the KDS should be operated.
When front radar correction is completed, the warning light will go out on the instrument cluster.
- If the alignment is not completed, check the front radar mounting angle.
- If the horizontal angle is out of the specification, check the condition of the mounting part, and if there is no abnormality, replace the front radar.
- After replacing the front radar, perform the alignment procedures again.
