Preparing

Condition

Refer to Necessity of Calibration .
There may be no DTC memory entries present because they prevent the calibration.

-- Check the camera image on the Front Information Display Control Head -J685-.

-- Check and clear the DTC memory using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester .

-- Check the circle pattern of the rims of the rear wheels and prepare the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A .

Vehicles with wheel bolts SW17:

-- Secure the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A using the Wheel Bolt Adapter :VAS 6350/1-3A .

Continuation for all vehicles

Vehicles with wheel bolts SW19:

-- Secure the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A using the Wheel Bolt Adapter :VAS 6350/1-4A .

Continuation for all vehicles

-- Position the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A on the wheel bolts of the rear wheels.

Condition

Position the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A that the anti-theft wheel bolts do not touch the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A .

-- Adjust the paddles -2-.

Condition

The paddles -2- must be close to the ground and move easily and freely.

-- Position the calibration field -1- out of the Calibration Tool :VAS 6350A at the distance -a- behind the vehicle.

Dimension -a- = 400 mm to 1000 mm

-- Align the calibration field -1- parallel to the paddles -2-.

Condition

Distance -b- must be the same on both sides.

Tip

Note dimension -b- for the step later in the calibration. Ideal dimension -b- = 1200 mm - 1700 mm

-- Switch on the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser :VAS 6350/3A -1-.

-- Press the measuring button.

Condition

The laser beam of the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser :VAS 6350/2A -2- must strike the paddle -1-.

-- If the laser beam does not strike the paddle -1- in the center, then readjust the paddle -1-.

-- Write down the resulting value.

-- Repeat the procedure on the other side of the vehicle.

Condition

The resulting values must be the same for both sides.

-- If they differ, realign the Calibration Tool :VAS 6350A until both values are the same.

-- Turn on the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser :VAS 6350/2A and hold as shown in the display -1-.
