Preliminary Work

Information 

Calibrating the reversing camera balances the tyres, chassis tolerances and installation tolerances of the camera.

• The  > VAS 6350A - Calibration unit and a  > VAS 6350/2A - Spacing laser are needed for calibration. 
• During calibration, the control unit for the reversing camera calculates the vehicle-specific adjustment values (e.g. image rectification) for the camera image. 
• After the actual calibration process, the rectified image can be seen on the vehicle display. 

Information 

Calibration must only be performed on level ground.

On vehicles with air suspension, switch on ignition, close the doors and set the air suspension level to Normal level (MEDIUM HEIGHT)  .
