Front Radar: Installation

WARNING:
  • When working on the high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. A lack of understanding of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or short circuit.
  • When working on the high voltage system or related components, be sure to observe and be aware of the HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION AND CAUTION . If not, it may cause serious accidents due to electric shock or short circuit.
  • When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and HIGH VOLTAGE SHUT-OFF PROCEDURES .
NOTE:
  • Check for vehicle alignment and tire pressure for accurate radar calibration.
  • Make sure the vehicle does not sag. (Check the suspension problem)
  • Put the vehicle on the level ground.
  • Check that the front surface of the front radar is clean.
  1. Before installing the front radar, check the last 2 digits of the Lot, No (A). The label is on the back of the front radar.

    Information 

    The meaning of Lot. No (A) is the vertical deviation angle of front radar inner side.

  2. Install the front radar.
    1. Install the front radar (A) after tightening the nuts.

      Tightening torque: 

      8.8 - 10.8 N.m (0.9 - 1.1 kgf.m, 6.5 - 8.0 lb.ft)

    1. Connect the front radar connector (B).

      NOTE:
      • Make sure to perform zero setting before using vertical protractor.
      • Be careful with +/- readings when finding true vertical using vertical protractor.
    5. Adjust to "target vertical angle" by turning the adjusting screw (A) of the front radar.
      • Turn clockwise: adjusting (+) angle
      • Turn counterclockwise: adjusting (-) angle
NOTE:
  • Adjustment of the bracket can be applied using manual pressure.
  • Must recheck with vertical protractor if vertical angle is right after adjusting.
