Front Radar Installation Angle Checking/Adjustment Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Kia K5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The front radar detects the object in front of the vehicle, and recognizes the distance from the object, comparing speed, etc. For these reasons the direction of installation has to be linear with vehicle. Therefore, performing angle inspection and adjustment have to be done in case of the front radar repairs caused by accident or failure and replacement of a new front radar.
Accuracy of the front radar cannot be guaranteed if inspection and adjustment have not been performed properly.
Perform adjustment procedure with exclusive adjustment reflector (SST) for stop mode.
