Advanced Smart Cruise Control (SCC) Radar Alignment

  1. Stop the vehicle horizontally at a flat place.
    NOTE:
    • Adjustment may not be accurate if the installation surface height and angle of the vehicle and reflector are different.
    • Perform in an area with minimum clearance of 8m front, 4m sides, and 1.2m above the vehicle.
    • Remove heavy objects from inside of the vehicle (seating area and trunk).
    • Ensure that all tires are filled with specified air pressure.
    • Remove objects (metal plates, resins, etc.) that may cause electric signal interference from the area where sensor alignment is performed.
    • Be sure that the vehicle is not moved and free from vibration when performing sensor alignment (getting in/out or opening/closing doors).
    • Check that radiator grill and sensor cover is not dirty.
    • Check that the wheel alignment is normal.
    • Do not turn OFF the power when performing sensor alignment.
    • Power supplied to the radar sensor must be between 9V ~ 16V.
    • Temperature in the area where sensor alignment is performed must be between -30 ~ 60°C.

  5. Mark (C) located in 2.5~4.2 m from (A) in front of the vehicle.
  6. Mark (D) at the place which is 11 mm away from (C) to the left in vertical direction.

  7. Disconnect the SCC Calibration beam (SST No.: 09964-C1200) from the Tri-Pod (SST No.: 09964-C1300).
  8. Connect the reflector (SST No.: 09964-C1100) to the tripod (SST No.: 09964-C1300) and set the reflector center height to 577 mm.

    NOTE: Balance the level so that the bubble in the level is set between the specified lines.
  10. Set SST (reflector or tripod) to match the position of SST (reflector) to the position of (D).

    NOTE: Visually check that the reflecting side of the reflector is levelled with the front of the vehicle.
  11. Check again the radar sensor and the surface of front bumper for the following parts with the eyes.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure that there is no debris, or reflecting object on the surface of the radar.
    • Make sure that there is no debris, or reflecting object on the radiator grill.
  12. Connect the GDS to the DLC of the vehicle and start sensor alignment.
    NOTE: If the engine is running, the vibration may cause inaccurate sensor alignment, so perform sensor alignment in IG ON mode.
  13. After correctly selecting the vehicle model, select "SCC Alignment" from the auxiliary functions in GDS Menu.
