Smart Cruise Control (SCC) Radar Alignment
- 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 spec 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.
- Mark the center point of emblem (A) and the center point on top of wind glass (B).
- Connect the SCC Calibration Laser (SST No.: 09964-C1200) to the Tri-Pod (SST No.: 09964-C1300).
- Match the vertical line of laser to (A) and (B) using the SCC calibration laser pointer.
- Mark (C) located in 1.0 - 3.8 m from (A) in front of the vehicle.
- Disconnect the SCC Calibration Laser (SST No.: 09964-C1200) from the Tri-Pod (SST No.: 09964-C1300).
- Connect the reflector (SST No.: 09964-C1100) to the tripod (SST No.: 09964-C1300) and set the reflector center height to 583mm.
- Set the reflector horizontal using the leveler which is built in the tripod (SST No.: 09964-C1300).NOTE:
- Balance the level so that the bubble in the level is set between the spec lines.
- Check again the radar sensor and the surface of front bumper for the following items 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.
- 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.
- To perform the lateral alignment, connect the GDS with the engine started and select the "SCC Alignment".
Information
- Be sure to erase DTC before performing the lateral alignment.
- Select "Driving Mode" to start sensor alignment.
- Drive the vehicle and check that the yellow warning light on the cluster is turned ON and then OFF.
NOTE:
The lateral alignment takes about 5 to 15 minutes generally but it can be shorten or extended depending on the road condition or driving condition.
- Road or driving conditions for shortening the alignment:
- Driving at more than 65 km/h (40.4 mph)
- Driving on a road without curve and slope
- Driving on a thick and wide paved road
- Driving on a road where there are repetitive and fixed targets (metal materials such as street lights or guard rails)
- Driving on a dry road without rain or snow
- Road or driving conditions that can interrupt the alignment process
- Driving a road with the sharp curve where the radius is within 100m (328.0ft)
- Driving at a lower speed than suggested above or during a stop due to a red light
- Driving in a tunnel or under an overpass
- Turning the steering wheel excessively to the left or right or changing the lane suddenly
CAUTION:
Be sure to follow the below safety guidelines while driving the vehicle for the lateral alignment:
- Observe a regulation speed
- Do not drive too fast for shortening the sensor alignment. Drive safely considering the road condition and traffic situation.
- Do not stare the GDS screen or operate the GDS while driving. Only while stopping, the GDS should be operated.
NOTE:
- If the lateral alignment is not completed successfully, check the alignment using the GDS. If the value is out of ±3°, check that the back beam or bracket where the SCC unit is mounted are in a good condition and then if there is no problems, replace the SCC unit with new one. After replacing the SCC unit, repeat the alignment procedure described above.
