Vertical Alignment

NOTE: In order to align the Cruise-Control Module (C-CM), which is a radar sensor unit, the vehicle must be in a wheel alignment bay station so that the vehicle is level.

NOTE: Damage to the C-CM bracket may affect correct alignment. When aligning the C-CM, inspect the C-CM bracket for damage and repair as necessary before carrying out the alignment procedure.

NOTE: If the front bumper cover has already been removed because of module replacement, there is no need to carry-out the first 2 steps.

Remove the front lower air deflector. For additional information, refer to Bumper - Exploded View, Front in BUMPER SYSTEM article.

NOTE: When removing the C-CM radar sensor fascia cover retaining nut, make sure the cover stud is held with pliers to prevent twisting the stud off the cover.
