Preliminary Work
-- Move the vehicle onto a solid, flat surface.
-- Apply the parking brake - the vehicle must not move during the measurement.
-- Place the front wheels in a straight-ahead position - steering wheel in neutral position.
-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
If a malfunction message appears in the display. Refer to the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester Operating Instructions.
-- Switch the ignition on.
-- Remove the label with the metal foil from the bumper cover, if necessary.
-- Secure three suitable wheel bolt adapters for the wheel bolts on each : VAS6350/1 .
-- Insert the measuring paddle at both : VAS6350/1 and secure with the locking nut.
-- Place the : VAS6350/1 onto the wheel bolts on both rear wheels.
- The wheel center mounting rotation center must be in the wheel rotation center.
Place the : VAS6350/1 on the wheels so that the "anti-theft wheel bolts" are not connected to the wheel center mounting.
-- Adjust the measuring paddle using the locking nuts so that they move freely just above the floor.
- The measuring paddles must move easily.
- The measuring paddles must be vertical.
-- Position the : VAS6350A at distance -a- to the rear wheels.
- Dimension -a- = 1, 700 mm
-- Switch on the : VAS6350/2 with the ON button.
Display on the : VAS6350/2 :
- "- - - m"
The laser is switched on at same time.
-- For distance measurement, hold the : VAS6350/2 -2- flush to the right catch bracket as shown.
- The : VAS6350/2 must lie firmly against the catch bracket.
-- Make sure the "laser beam" for the distance measurement contacts the lower enlarged part of the measuring paddle -1-.
If that is not the case, correct the measuring paddle height using the locking nuts on the : VAS6350/1 .
-- Briefly press the ON button for distance measurement.
Display on the : VAS6350/2 :
- "1, 700 m" (specified value: 1700 ± 2 mm).
-- Repeat the measuring procedure from the left catch bracket to the left rear wheel.
- The distance value must be the same on both sides.
If both measured values are not the same, adjust the : VAS6350A accordingly.
Calibrating Procedure
The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is connected.
-- Select the Diagnostic mode and start the diagnosis.
-- Select the Test plan tab.
-- Select the Select individual test button and select the following tree structure consecutively:
- Body
- Electrical system
- 01 - OBD-capable systems
- CF - Lane Change Assistance Control Module 2 -J770
- CF - Lane Change Assistance Control Module 2, Functions
- CF - Calibration
From here, the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester advances the calibration procedure forward.
The following information clarifies which version of the lane change assistance is installed in the vehicle (SWA3.0).
-- Secure the : VAS6350/4 to the : VAS6350A mount on the rear left.
- When installed correctly, the vehicle electrical system voltage wire must be connected at the bottom left of the calibration device (as seen in direction of travel).
Dimension -a- is measured from the upper edge of the calibration device to the floor.

-- Connect the : VAS6350/4 to the vehicle electrical system voltage.
-- Bring the : VAS6350A into a horizontal position by turning the plastic feet.
- Observe the bubble level (sight glass) on the : VAS6350A -arrow-.
-- Turn on the : VAS6350/3A on the : VAS6350A .
-- Wear "laser protective eyewear".
-- Align the : VAS6350A so that the : VAS6350/3 strikes the center of the brand emblem on the rear lid.
-- Check the distance on the left and right sides between the catch brackets of the : VAS6350A and the measuring paddles -1- on wheel mountings again.
- Specified value: 1700 ± 2 mm
Calibration Procedure
The following should not occur during the calibration procedure:
- There must be no metal reflectors within a 2 m radius of the calibration device (for example, tool carts, metal cabinets).
- Vehicle doors must not be opened or closed.
- People must not sit in the vehicle.
- People must not go between the vehicle and the : VAS6350/4 .
Procedure
-- Turn on the : VAS6350/4 at the power switch -3-.
- The green LED -1- must turn on.
If the red LED -2- comes on: Check the : VAS6350/4 .
-- Follow the instructions in the vehicle diagnostic tester display.
During the program sequence, there is a prompt to switch the : VAS6350/4 from the left to the right side of the : VAS6350A .
-- Turn off the : VAS6350/4 -VAS6350/4- and reposition the calibration tool.
- When installed correctly, the vehicle electrical system voltage wire must be connected at the bottom left of the calibration device (as seen in direction of travel).
