Smart Cruise Control (SCC) Sensor Alignment
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system is designed to help avoid a potential collision or reduce its impact when drivers applies inadequate, delayed or no brakes at all to avoid a collision.
In order for the radar sensor to operate correctly, it must be properly aligned parallel to the driving direction of the vehicle. For this reason, the radar sensor alignment procedure must be carried out whenever the sensor has been reinstalled or replaced with a new one.
If the sensor alignment procedure is not performed in the conditions mentioned above, the smart cruise control system may not operate correctly.
NOTE:
The SCC radar sensor alignment is required when:
- The SCC unit is reinstalled or replaced with a new one.
- The radar sensor or the surrounding parts are impacted by a collision.
- The sensor did not detect a foregoing vehicle.
- The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) is replaced or adjusted.
CAUTION:
The sensor can not recognize a vehicle ahead:
- Place the vehicle on a level ground.
- Take out heavy luggage from the vehicles' seats or trunk.
- Set all tires according to the specified pressure.
- Check wheel alignment.
- Check that the front surface of the SCC unit is clean.
