Preliminary Work

Information

The following basic requirements must be observed:

Calibration must only be performed on an empty vehicle on a level surface.
Vehicles with adjustable chassis: Set the chassis to "normal" (medium height).
Vehicles with front axle lift system: Set the front axle lift system to "lower".
The doors and tailgate must be closed.
The side mirrors must be folded out fully.
The trailer hitch must be removed/retracted.
The work area must be illuminated uniformly.
Luminous intensity must be at least 400 lux.

Information

Calibrating the reversing camera balances the tires, 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.

Fit reflectors on wheel nut support:

1.1 Fit the wheel nut support with the right and left reflector on both rear wheels on the vehicle in accordance with the operating instructions for > VAS 6350A - Calibration unit . The reflectors must be hanging freely.

Fitting reflectors (shown as an example)

Park the vehicle on a level surface and set up the > VAS 6350A - Calibration unit so that it is positioned parallel and symmetrically behind the vehicle in accordance with the operating instructions for VAS 6350.
