How to check/adjust front radar installation angle - stop mode

NOTE: Preparation before the front radar alignment:
  • Put the vehicle on the level ground.
  • Take out heavy luggage from the vehicles' seats or trunk.
  • Set all tires according to the specified pressure.
  • Check wheel alignment.
  • Check that the front surface of the front radar is clean.
NOTE:
  • Perform in an area with minimum clearance of 8m (26.2 ft) front, 4m (13.1 ft) sides, and 2 m (6.6 ft) above the vehicle.
  • Install the reflector exactly 2.5 m (8.2 ft) away from the Front Radar.
  • The reflector has to be installed at same place(height and angle) as front radar center.

    (If height and angle are different, then adjustment can not be done correctly.)

  • Remove objects (metal plates, resins, etc.) that may cause electric signal interference from the area where front radar alignment is performed.
  • Make sure to use exclusive reflector (OK964-J5100)
  • Be sure that the vehicle is not moved and free from vibration when performing front radar alignment (getting in/out or opening/closing doors).
  • IG has to be on when performing front radar alignment. (engine stop condition)
