The lateral run-out of the wheel must be balanced (compensated for). Otherwise, the measurement result will be false.

A correct toe-in adjustment will not be possible without performing lateral run-out compensation!

Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the alignment equipment.

-- Perform the wheel run-out compensation.

-- Insert the Brake Pedal Actuator: VAG1869/2  .

-- Actuate the brake pedal using brake pedal actuator.
