Preliminary Work
Information
- Vehicles with front axle lift system: Set the front axle lift system to "lower".
- Vehicles with adjustable chassis: Set the chassis to "normal" (medium height).
- The vehicle must be on a level surface.
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.
Setup overview
| MP 1 to 4 | Measuring points |
| X1 | Distance from calibration board to right reflector |
| X2 | Distance from calibration board to left reflector |
| Z | Height of camera from floor |
| K | Height of calibration board from floor |
The values are shown on the PIWIS Tester.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and set up the > VAS 6350A - Calibration unit behind the vehicle in accordance with the operating instructions for VAS 6350.
- Fit reflectors on wheel nut support:
- 2.1 For vehicles without central wheel lock: 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.
- 2.2 For vehicles with central wheel lock: Attach wheel-alignment adapter > VAS 6830 - Wheel-alignment adapter for wheels with central lock to both rear wheels on the vehicle, insert > VAS 6350/7 - Locking Pins into the wheel-alignment adapter and fit reflectors (at the left and right) on the locking pins. The reflectors must be hanging freely.
Fitting reflectors (shown as an example)
- Align the work surface with the center of the vehicle and adjust the line laser to suit the calibration plate in accordance with the operating instructions for VAS 6350.
- Clean reversing camera using a soft, clean cloth.
