• If there is not enough space, back the vehicle onto the wheel alignment platform. A corresponding surface can also be used.
• Check the DTC memory and correct any malfunctions before beginning the calibration.
• Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension bounced and rocked several times
• Make sure that the sliding plates and turn tables are not touching the end stop when checking the wheel alignment.
• Connect the battery charger. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
• Position the front wheels so they are straight.
