Measurement Preparations, Axle Alignment With Driver Assistance Systems
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Perform the following steps using "quick access" if one or more driver assistance systems on the vehicle will be calibrated (without a previous axle alignment):
- Before driving the vehicle onto the alignment stand, make sure there is enough space between the vehicle and the calibration device. The distance between the calibration device and the vehicle must be: 120 cm ± 2.5 cm.
- If there is not enough space, back the vehicle onto the wheel alignment platform. A corresponding surface can also be used.
- Check the DTC memory and correct any malfunctions before beginning the calibration.
- Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension bounced and rocked several times
- Make sure that the sliding plate and turntable are not touching the end stop during the measurement.
- Connect the battery charger. Refer to Battery, Charging .
- Position the front wheels so they are straight.
- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle and guide the diagnostic cable through the open window.
- The vehicle exterior lamps are off.
- All the vehicle doors are closed.
- Using the screen, turn on the calibration on the wheel alignment computer.
