-- Check which hole circle the rims have.

-- Secure three suitable wheel bolt adapters for the wheel bolts on each Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings:VAS6350/1A  .

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

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings:VAS6350/1A  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 Mounting:VAS6350/1A  on the wheels so that any 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 at distance -a- to the rear wheels.

• Dimension -a- = 1, 700 mm

-- Using the bubble level (level indicator) -arrow-, bring the calibration tool into a horizontal position by turning the plastic bases.

-- Turn on the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser:VAS6350/3A  on the calibration tool.

-- Align the calibration tool so that the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser:VAS6350/3A  strikes the center of the emblem on the rear lid.

-- Turn on the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser:VAS6350/2A  . Refer to Calibration Tool - Spacing LaserVAS6350/2A Operating Instructions.

• -arrow 1- : position with front edge
• -arrow 3- : position with rear edge

-- Press the corresponding button.

-- Hold the Spacing Laser:VAS6350/2A  -2- for the distance measurement on one side of the calibration board flush to the catch bracket, as shown.

Courtesy of AUDI OF AMERICA, LLC

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

-- Push the measurement button briefly.

The laser switches on.

-- 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 -1- height using the clamping screw on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting:VAS6350/1A  .

-- Use one hand to hold the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser :VAS6350/2A  firmly in the catch bracket on the calibration tool the laser beam should be seen on the measuring paddle during this.

-- Then press the measurement button for the distance measurement briefly.

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

• "1, 700 m (5, 577.4 feet)" (specified value: 1700 ± 2 mm).

-- Repeat this measurement on the other side of the calibration tool in the same way for the rear wheel.

• The distance value must be the same on both sides.

-- If both measured values are not the same, then readjust the calibration tool correspondingly until the distance values are the same on both sides.

-- Make sure the Calibration Tool - Line Laser:VAS6350/3A  strikes the center above the emblem and that the level indicator remains centered. Adjust if necessary.

Calibration Procedure

The following should not occur during the calibration procedure:

• No metallic reflectors may be located within a 2 m (6.6 feet) radius of the calibration tool (meaning tool carts, metal cabinets).
• Vehicle doors must not be opened or closed.
• Individuals must not go between the vehicle and the calibration tool.

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. Refer to Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

-- Switch the ignition on.

-- 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:

• Diagnostic-capable systems
• 003C - Lane Change Assistance - Rear Radar Entry Gen3
• 003C - Blind Spot Assistance Control Module, Functions
• 003C - Calibration

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