Front Radar: Installation

NOTE:
  • Check for vehicle alignment and tire pressure for accurate radar calibration.
  • Make sure the vehicle does not sag. (Check the suspension problem)
  • Put the vehicle on the level ground.
  • Check that the front surface of the front radar is clean.
  1. Before installing the front radar, check the last 2 digits of the Lot, No (A). The label is on the back of the front radar.
    IMPORTANT: The meaning of Lot. No (A) is the vertical deviation angle of front radar inner side.

      • Make sure to perform zero setting before using vertical protractor.
      • Be careful with +/- readings when finding true vertical using vertical protractor.
    5. Adjust to 'target vertical angle" by turning the adjusting screw (A) of the front radar.
      • turn clockwise: adjusting (+) angle
      • turn counterclockwise: adjusting (-) angle
      NOTE:
      • Adjustment of the bracket can be applied using manual pressure.
      • Must recheck with vertical protractor if vertical angle is right after adjusting.
