Before driving the vehicle onto the vehicle alignment platform, make sure there is sufficient space between the center of the wheel hub on the front wheels and the Setting Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1-.
The distance between the Setting Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1- and the center of the wheel hub on the front wheels must be 1, 500 mm ± 25 mm.
If there not enough space, back the vehicle onto the vehicle alignment platform so that there will be enough space.
The calibration board must be positioned in the center of the setting device.
Check the DTC memory before calibrating. Erase any entries if necessary.

Follow the test requirements for an axle alignment. Refer to Test Prerequisites.
Drive the vehicle onto the vehicle alignment platform.
Connect the battery charger. Refer to Electrical Equipment General Information
Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle. (Guide the diagnostic cable through the open window.)
NOTE: During the calibration procedure, make sure all the vehicle doors remain closed and the vehicle exterior lighting is switched off.
Position the front wheels so they are straight.
Select calibrating the driver assistance systems front camera in the wheel alignment computer.
Attach the quick-action clamps to all four wheels.
