Preliminary Work

-- Move the vehicle onto a solid, flat surface.

-- Activate the "standard vehicle height" on vehicles with air suspension (MMI setting: automatic or comfort).

-- 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. Refer to the appropriate Service Information.

TIP:

If a malfunction message appears in the display, refer to the appropriate 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 Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings:VAS6350/1 .

-- Insert the measuring paddle at both Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings:VAS6350/1 and secure with the locking nut.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: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 Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: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 Calibration Tool:VAS6350A at distance -a- to the rear wheels.

The Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser:VAS6350/2A must lie firmly against the catch bracket.

-- Make sure the "laser beam" for the distance measurement contacts the enlarged lower part on the paddle -1-.

If this is not the case, measuring paddle height must be corrected using locking nuts on Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings:VAS6350/1 .

-- Briefly press the ON button for distance measurement.

Display on the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser:VAS6350/2A :

"1, 700 m" (specified value: 1700 ± 2 mm (66.93 ± 0.08 in.)).

-- Repeat the measuring procedure from the right stop bracket to the right rear wheel.

The distance value must be the same on both sides.

If both measured values are not the same, adjust the Calibration Tool:VAS6350A accordingly.

Calibrating Procedure

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is connected.

-- Select and start the Diagnostic operating mode.

-- 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

-- Start the selected program and follow the instructions on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester display.

TIP:

The following information clarifies which version of the lane change assistance is installed in the vehicle (SWA3.0).
This information for adjusting the calibration device is important for later steps in the procedure to avoid malfunctions.

-- Secure the Calibration Tool - Lane Change Calibration Tool:VAS6350/4 to the Calibration Unit: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.

Model	A5 Coupe/Sportback/Cabriolet
Adjustment dimension height in mm dimension -a-	800 (31.5 in.)

-- The indicator on the base of the Calibration Tool - Lane Change Calibration Tool:VAS6350/4 must align with adjustment dimension on the measuring scale -1- on measuring field -arrow-.

Model	A5 Coupe/Sportback/Cabriolet
Left adjustment dimension read in mm on the measuring scale -1-	716 (28.19 in.)

-- Connect the Calibration Tool - Lane Change Calibration Tool:VAS6350/4 to the vehicle electrical system voltage.

-- Bring Calibration Tool:VAS6350 into horizontal position by turning the plastic feet.
