Calibration board alignment

-- Position the calibration platform behind the vehicle at a distance of 1.47 m to 1.90 m to the rear wheels, see -dimension A- in the illustration, refer to Calibration Tool VAS6350, INSTALLING AND ALIGNING .

-- Bring the Calibration ToolVAS6350 into a horizontal position.

-- Twist the plastic feet under the calibration board so that air bubble in level is located exactly in the center of the indicator -arrow-.

WARNING:

Make sure light does not reflect off the calibration platform.

Reflections affect the Rearview Camera -R189- and may make it impossible to perform the calibration.

-- Switch on the Calibration Tool - Linear LaserVAS6350/3 -1- on the calibration board and align the entire Calibration ToolVAS6350A, so that the laser beam points to the middle of the vehicle height above the Audi rings.
