Adjust (Toolbox 3)

NOTE: Adjustment of the forward facing camera is an iterative process. That is, check the narrow and main images, adjust accordingly, check the narrow and main images, adjust accordingly, etc.
NOTE: The actions of entering the vehicle, inserting the wrench, turning the wrench, and then exiting the vehicle affect the camera alignment during those actions, therefore you cannot adjust the camera in real time.
  1. Connect a laptop with Toolbox 3 to the vehicle. See TOOLBOX 3 - CONNECT AND DISCONNECT .
  2. Exit the vehicle and select Dashboards > DAS Tools > Display DAS Images > Clear Calibration and Capture Image  .
    CAUTION: Freeze-frame narrow and main images are captured, and the vehicle needs to be unoccupied at this time in order for the ride height to maintain specification
  3. Review the freeze-frame main image:
    NOTE: The top of the red tape (A) should coincide with the blue horizontal line.
    • If the top of the red tape (A) is not coinciding with the blue horizontal line, the forward facing camera needs adjustment. Continue to the next step to adjust the camera.

  4. Remove the rear view mirror. See MIRROR - REAR VIEW - REMOVE AND REPLACE
  5. Remove the upper camera cover assembly to access the camera pitch adjustment. See CAMERA COVER - UPPER - REMOVE AND REPLACE .
    NOTE: It is not necessary to remove any components from the cover assembly.
  6. Use a pitch adjustment wrench to adjust the camera pitch so that the top of the red tape coincides with the horizontal blue line.
    NOTE: Rotating the wrench clockwise pitches the camera up, and counterclockwise pitches the camera down conversely. 1 full rotation of the wrench can adjust the pitch 0.5 - 1.5 degrees.

    Tip: Use of the following tool is recommended:

  7. Exit the vehicle, and in Toolbox, select Capture Image  to capture updated freeze-frame narrow and main images.
    NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle remains unoccupied as the image capture is performed.
  8. Repeat the procedure from step 3 3.
  9. Install the upper camera cover assembly. See CAMERA COVER - UPPER - REMOVE AND REPLACE .
    NOTE: It is not necessary to remove any components from the cover assembly.
  10. Install the rear view mirror. See MIRROR - REAR VIEW - REMOVE AND REPLACE .
  11. Disconnect the laptop from the vehicle.
  12. Remove the target from the front of the vehicle.
  13. Disable Jack Mode.
  14. The vehicle needs to be driven by the customer to complete the calibration procedure.
    NOTE: Self-calibration can take up to 100 miles (160 km) of manual driving, depending upon the road type and condition. Until self-calibration is complete, the message "Autopilot Features Currently Unavailable: Manual Driving Required While Camera Is Calibrating" is displayed if an attempt is made to engage an Autopilot feature.
