-- Insert the measuring paddle on both Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 and secure with lock nut.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 onto the wheel bolts on both rear wheels.

NOTE:

Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 on wheels so that "anti-theft wheel bolts" are not connected with wheel center mounting.

-- Adjust the measuring paddle with aid of locking nuts so that they move freely just above the floor.

-- Position the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 at distance -a- from rear wheels.

Display on the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser VAS 6350/2:

-- Repeat measurement procedure from left catch bracket to left rear wheel.

If both measured values are not the same, adjust the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 accordingly.

Performing calibration 

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is attached.

-- Choose operation mode Diagnosis  and start the diagnosis.

-- Select the tab test plan  .

-- Select select individual tests  and choose the following sequence.

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester continues with the calibrating procedure from here on.

NOTE:

The following information clarifies which version of the lane change assistance is installed (version: for example SWA 1.5).

This information for adjusting the calibration tool is important for later steps in the procedure to avoid malfunctions.

-- Secure the Calibration Tool - Lane Change Calibration Tool VAS 6350/4 at right rear of the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 mount.
