WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Perform the following steps using "quick access" if one or more driver assistance systems on the vehicle will be calibrated (without a previous axle alignment):
- Before driving the vehicle onto the alignment stand, make sure there is enough space between the vehicle and the calibrating device. The distance between the calibrating device and the vehicle: 120 cm ± 2.5 cm.
- If there is not sufficient space, drive vehicle backward on alignment stand in order to be able to use the corresponding space.
- 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, CHARGING .
- Position the front wheels so they are straight.
- Connect Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle and guide the diagnostic cable through the open window.
- The vehicle exterior lamps are off.
- All the vehicle doors are closed.
- Using the screen, turn on the calibration on the wheel alignment computer.
