Requirements For Calibrating
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Preparations must be made before the calibration procedure can be performed with the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
Requirements
- Make sure the camera lens is not dirty. Clean it if necessary.
- Check the pictures from the individual cameras on the radio/navigation system screen. If the camera picture is not clear because the camera lens is damaged, replace the camera. If the camera picture is too low, check the camera mounting.
- Make sure both exterior mirrors are folded out.
- Place vehicle on a solid, level surface.
- Make sure there is at least 2 meters open space all around the vehicle being calibrated.
- Depending on the vehicle equipment level, set the dampening level to "Comfort" using the control in the center console.
- Set the suspension level to "Normal" and then to "vehicle lift mode". Refer to the appropriate service information (the level control system is off).
- Engage the parking brake - the vehicle must not move during calibration.
- Connect a battery charger to prevent the battery from getting discharged.
- Switch on the ignition.
- No persons may be in the vehicle interior during the calibration.
- Do not open and close the vehicle doors during calibration.
- Make sure the vehicle is at curb weight - item 1-.
NOTE:
The specifications for measuring and distances while performing the preparation work for the calibration is based on a vehicle having its original tires.
