Service Alignment Process

The service alignment process measures the path of stationary targets such as streetlights, railings, road signs, parked vehicles etc., and uses this data to correct for radar sensor misalignment. Alignment will complete more quickly if more suitable targets are seen. The following recommendations should be followed:

• Vehicle speed must be above 30mph (48kph)
• Attempt to keep the vehicle speed about the same. The process will take longer to complete if the speed varies too much
• Choose a road with plenty of stationary objects, like lamp posts, railings, street signs or parked vehicles. Use an inside or outside lane
• Following vehicles too closely will obscure the stationary targets from the radar, a time gap of at least 2 seconds is recommended
• A straighter road will produce a quicker and better result, although the process will still operate on a curved road
• The time the radar sensor takes to align will vary, depending on the route, speed, number of targets, and the individual sensor.
