Driver Assistance Systems Front Camera, Calibrating: Procedure

-- Check the sensor and the retainer for damage, external influence and secure fit. Service any damaged components.

-- Check the DTC memory and correct or erase all potentially displayed entries.

-- Before driving the vehicle onto the vehicle alignment platform, make sure there is sufficient space in between the vehicle and the Setting Device Basic Set :VAS 6430/1  .

• The distance between the Setting Device Basic Set :VAS 6430/1  and the center of the wheel hubs on the front wheels must be 1, 500 mm ± 25 mm.

-- If the available floor space is not sufficient, drive the vehicle onto the wheel alignment platform backward and then use the corresponding floor space.

• Pay attention to the test requirements for the axle alignment. Refer to TEST REQUIREMENTS .
• Follow the measurement preparations for calibrating/adjusting the driver assistance systems. Refer to MEASUREMENT PREPARATIONS .

-- Drive the vehicle "centered" onto the wheel alignment platform.

-- When the vehicle is stopped, turn off the ignition.

-- Connect the battery charger. Refer to BATTERY, CHARGING .

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester (guide the diagnostic cable through the open window).

-- Move the wheels so that they are straight.

-- Install quick-action clamps on the wheels.

-- Attach the reflectors to the quick-action clamps.

-- Perform the wheel run-out compensation.

-- Select the button for the driver assistance systems front camera calibration procedure in the wheel alignment computer.

-- Measure and record the height at all four wheels.

1. Distance Measuring Device with Roller Tape Measure and Stud Bolt

-- Position the Setting Device Basic Set :VAS 6430  with a distance of -a- from the center of the front wheel hub to the beam of the Setting Device Basic Set :VAS 6430  .

• Distance -a- 1, 500 mm ± 25 mm must be measured on both side of the vehicle and then the Setting Device Basic Set :VAS 6430/1  must be aligned.
• Distance -a- must be the same on both sides of the vehicle.

-- Place the Camera :VAS 701 001/1  -item 1- for the ADR/ ACC adjustment on the Setting Device - Basic Set :VAS 6430  on the right side and tighten.

-- Determine the height value -a- between the Setting Device Basic Set :VAS 6430/1  contact surface and the wheel contact surface on the vehicle alignment platform. Enter the determined value in the wheel alignment computer.

-- Loosen the clamping bolt -arrow- and place the measuring bar -1- on the floor.
