The vehicle must be on its wheels for the measurement. Start measurement of inclination angle at transmission end. All four angles should be measured in succession without interruption. An angle that has already been measured can be measured a second time if required. To do this, with the Measurement menu displayed, press the "STEP" button repeatedly until the display indicates Ready to measure the relevant angle.

Press "STEP" button on inclinometer.
"Inclination angle" "Measurement" is selected.
