      NOTE: Hang a string with a cone from the fender so as to pass through the center of wheel, and then mark a point at the center of the lateral surface of the wheel.
   2. Draw line "LH" passing through points "A" and "B" on the left side of vehicle.
      NOTE: Approximately 2 m (6.56 ft) or more from the front end of vehicle.
   3. Mark point "E" on the line "LH" at the positions 2000 mm (78.7 in) from point "A".
   4. Draw line "RH" passing through points "C" and "D" on the right side of vehicle in the same way as step 2.
      NOTE: 'Approximately 2 m (6.56 ft) or more from the front end of vehicle.
   5. Mark point "F" on the line "RH" at the positions 2000 mm (78.7 in) from point "C".
   6. Draw line "FW" passing through the points "E" and "F" on the front side of vehicle.
   7. Mark point "X" at the center of point "E" and "F" on the line "FW".
      CAUTION: Make sure that "E" to "X" is equal to "F" to "X".

3. SETTING TARGET BOARD 

   Place the center of target board on point "G" at line "E-F" and install the target board.

   CAUTION: For performing the radar alignment correctly, securely install (target board) to be parallel with the "E-F" line.

   Radar Alignment  .

Accurate adjustment of the radar alignment requires that the target board be accurately positioned.

1. TARGET BOARD FINAL SETTING
   1. With the target board arm extended, the laser beam (1) emitted by the laser assembly (A) will be reflected back (B) toward the laser assembly.

      NOTE: When adjusted properly, reflected laser beam (B) must align with emitted laser beam (A) and the two laser beams will be seen as one.

   2. Rotate the target board to achieve the necessary horizontal adjustment.
   3. Adjust the target board leveling screws to achieve the necessary vertical adjustment.
   4. The figure shown illustrates the laser beam (A) emitted by the laser assembly (1) and its reflection (B) off of the target board arm.
