Calibrate

  1. Perform a 4-wheel alignment. See Four Wheel Alignment (Check and Adjust).
  2. Connect a laptop with Toolbox to the vehicle.
  3. With an assistant, use Toolbox to perform a radar drive cycle calibration:
    • For new radar applications, proceed to step 4.
    • For existing radar applications, proceed to step 5.
    Warning:

    Perform the calibration procedure in a suitable location and comply with all local traffic safety laws.

    Note: Be prepared to drive the vehicle once the calibration process is initiated. The calibration routine takes between 2 to 5 minutes to complete. When finished, calibration results are displayed in a popup message in the calibration routine window.
  4. For newly installed radar applications (post-radar swap), follow these steps:
    1. In Toolbox, open the "New Radar Calibration Dashboard."
    2. Select "PROC_RADC_X_PLANT-MODE" and then click Run. Wait for the action to finish.
    3. Select "Radar Calibration Routine" and then click Run.
    4. Observe onscreen driving instructions to prepare for the calibration procedure, and then click OK.
    5. Press the brake pedal, and then shift into Drive.
    6. Select "Service Radar Alignment" and then click Run.
    7. Release the brake pedal and proceed to drive the vehicle to begin the calibration procedure.
  5. For existing radar applications, follow these steps:
    1. In Toolbox, open the "Existing Radar Calibration Dashboard."
    2. Select "Radar Calibration Routine" and then click Run.
    3. Observe onscreen driving instructions to prepare for the calibration procedure, and then click OK.
    4. Press the brake pedal, and then shift into Drive.
    5. Select "Service Radar Alignment" and then click Run.
    6. Release the brake pedal and proceed to drive the vehicle to begin the calibration procedure.
  6. Verify that no radar related alerts are triggered.
