Preparing For Calibration
Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
- Calibration Tool :VAS6350
It is necessary to calibrate the rearview camera after:
- Removing and installing rear view camera
- Replacing the rearview camera control module
- Repair work performed on rear lid following an accident
- The standing height of one axle changes by more than 5 mm
- The standing height of the entire vehicle changes by more than 10 mm
- Volkswagen Logo
- The laser pointer is aligned on the center of the Volkswagen logo
- :VAS6350/1
- Right Angle Bracket for Mounting Measuring Unit for Distance Measurement
- :VAS6350/4
- Plastic Foot
- Adjustable in order to adjust horizontal position of calibration tool for lane changing assist
- :VAS6350/2
- Notes on operation, see Operating Instructions
- :VAS6350/3
- Switching on and off see Operating Instructions
- Level on the Calibration Device
- To check the horizontal position of the calibration tool for lane changing assist
- Left Angle Bracket for Mounting Measuring Unit for Distance Measurement
- :VAS6350/1
Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
- Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
- Calibration Tool :VAS6350
It Is Necessary To Calibrate The Rearview Camera After:
- Removing and installing rear view camera
- Replacing the rearview camera control module
- Repair work performed on rear lid following an accident
- The standing height of one axle changes by more than 5 mm
- The standing height of the entire vehicle changes by more than 10 mm
There is much preparation work that must be performed before calibrating using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
Requirements
- Place vehicle on a solid, level surface.
- Engage the parking brake - the vehicle must not move during calibration.
- On vehicles with air suspension, set the suspension height to "Auto" while the engine is running. Then bring the suspension into vehicle lift mode (level control system is switched off).
- 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-.
- Curb weight means: the weight of the vehicle when it is ready for driving (full fuel tank, spare wheel, vehicle tool kit, vehicle jack).
-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. Refer to VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC TESTER .
-- Check which hole circle the rims have.
-- Install the wheel pick-ups which fit the Touareg: To do so, secure three Touareg wheel bolt adapters in the Hole Circle to each wheel pick-up with the designation "120" or "130".
-- Attach paddles to both :VAS6350/1 and secure them with clamping screw.
-- Place the :VAS6350/1 onto the wheel bolts on the rear wheels. The wheel center sensors are positioned by the >>O-rings<< in the adapters and held in place.
Attach wheel pick-ups onto wheels so that any installed >>anti-theft wheel mounting bolts<< are not connected to the wheel pick-ups.
-- Adjust paddle with aid of clamping screws so that they move freely just above the floor.
Make sure the paddles move easily.
-- Position the :VAS6350 behind the vehicle with a distance of 1.20 m to 1.70 m between the angled brackets on the calibration device and the paddles at the rear wheel center wheel mountings as shown in the overview illustration -dimension A- -item 4-.
-- Bring the :VAS6350/4 into a horizontal position. To do so, twist plastic feet under calibration device so that air bubble in spirit level is located exactly in the center of the indicator -arrow-.
Make sure the base plate of the :VAS6350/4 is illuminated evenly.
Light reflection on the base plate can interrupt the calibrating procedure.
Check the illumination of the base plate using the camera on the radio/navigation system screen.
-- Switch on the laser on the calibration device -1- and align the entire calibration device so that laser beam strikes on center of vehicle rear end above the VW logo.
-- Turn the :VAS6350/2 for the distance measurement on with the ON button. The following display appears and laser switches itself on:
-- Hold distance laser for distance measurement -2- flush into angle bracket on one side of calibration device as shown in the illustration, distance laser must make contact firmly on angle bracket when doing this.
-- Make sure that the laser beam from the distance laser for distance measurement contacts the paddle -1- at the lower, enlarged part.
If this is not the case, paddles must be corrected accordingly via clamping screws on the wheel pick-ups.
-- Hold the distance laser for distance measurement firmly by hand in the angled bracket on the calibration device with the laser beam visible on the paddle. Briefly press ON button for distance measurement. When doing this, the following display appears on screen:
The distance measurement is specified on the display in "meters".
-- Note the value read off.
-- Repeat measuring procedure in the same manner for the other rear wheel on the other side of the calibration device.
The distance value must be the same on both sides. If the value is not identical, align the calibration device only as long until the values on both sides are identical.
When aligning the calibration device, make sure the line laser beam still strikes the center above the VW logo and the indictor in the level stays centered. If necessary, make further corrections accordingly.
-- Measure the height of the calibration device, dimension -H- (top edge platform - floor).
The distance dimensions that were measured, the height of the calibration device and the height of the center of the rearview camera lens must be entered in the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in "millimeters" during calibration.
