Sensor Alignment Procedure (Driving Mode)

The SCC sensor can be aligned by driving the vehicle. The alignment is based on moving and stationary targets in front of the sensor.

  1. Connect the GDS to the vehicle. Select the model and the system and click the "Vehicle S/W Management".
    NOTE: Erase the DTC code (C1620) before the sensor alignment procedure.
  2. Select "Driving Mode" to start sensor alignment.

    NOTE: The sensor alignment will last about 10~15 minutes. Depending on the traffic situation or road condition, the duration of the procedure can shorten or extend.
    To complete the alignment in minimum time, if it is possible, drive the vehicle considering the driving/road conditions as follows.
    • To shorten the duration of the alignment;
      • Drive at more than 50km/h (31.1mph).
      • Drive on a straight road without any curve and incline.
      • Drive on a thick and wide asphalt road.
      • Drive on a road with repetitive static targets.
      • Drive behind a passenger car (not SUV, bus or truck) at a distance of about 30~90m (98.4~295.2ft).
      • Drive on a dry and good road without rain and snow.
    • The alignment process can be interrupted when the following condition exists;
      • When the vehicle encounter curves with a radius smaller than 100m (328.0ft).
      • When the vehicle accelerates/decelerates more than 2m/s2 (6.6ft/s2 ).
      • When the vehicle speed is lower than 10km/h (6.2mph).
      • When the vehicle is in a tunnel or under pass.
      • When there are excessive steering wheel actions such as turning to the right or left and sudden lane change.
    CAUTION: Be careful when driving the vehicle for sensor alignment as follows;
    • Observe a regulation speed on the road.
    • Do not stick to the previous driving/road conditions excessively to shorten the duration of the alignment and drive the vehicle safely considering traffic situations.
    • When driving the vehicle, do not operate the GDS and look at the GDS display for a long time. You can lose your steering control.
    • Operate the GDS only when the vehicle stops.
  4. Make sure that the sensor alignment is completed (100%).
