11.7.1 Calibration System - VAS721001-, Installing

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required 

• Calibration System - VAS721001-
• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester

After performing service work on the vehicle, it may be necessary to calibrate the peripheral camera system. In detail, this is the case after:

• Replacing one or more cameras
• Peripheral Camera Control Module - J928- replacement
• Flash the software from the Peripheral Camera Control Module - J928-
• Record the data set on the Peripheral Camera Control Module - J928-
• Repair work on components in which a camera is installed or that influence the component location of the camera
• Wheel Alignments
• When adjusting the overlap range of the individual cameras
• The standing height of one axle changes by more than 5 mm
• The standing height of the entire vehicle changes by more than 10 mm

Requirement For The Calibration Of The Vehicle 

• Camera lens must be cleaned, only clean the camera lenses with a wet towel.
• Check the camera images on the Front Information Display Control Head - J685-. Replace the camera if the images are unclear because the camera has been damaged. Check the fastener for the camera if the image is low.
• Make sure both exterior rearview mirrors are folded out.
• The parking brake must be set.
• The steering wheel must be in the 0 position and the wheels must be straight.
• All doors and the rear lid must be closed.
• No one should be in the vehicle.
• The vehicle must not be loaded (curb weight).
• The battery charger is connected, the battery charger must not be in the view of the camera.
• Ignition switched on.
• The system is active and is displayed on the Front Information Display Control Head - J685-.
• Do not move the vehicle during the calibration process.

Requirements For The Calibration Equipment/Calibration Environment 

• flat calibration surface
• Do not use any objects in the environment of the calibration field, to prevent a false recognition of lines
• Even light (no headlamps or direct illumination), prevent strong light differences
