Rearview Camera System, Calibrating
After performing service work on the vehicle, it may be necessary to calibrate the rear view camera system anew. In detail, this is the case after:
- Rear view camera -R189-, Removing and Installing
- Rear view camera system control module -J772-, Removing and Installing
- Collision repairs on rear lid
- Rear Axle Repairs
Preparations before starting work
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051B
- Calibration tool VAS 6350
- Spacing laser VAS 6350/2
Preparations before starting work
Vehicle must stand on a firm and level surface to perform the calibration. No persons may be in the vehicle interior during the measurement. Vehicle must not be moved during the measurement, opening and closing of vehicle doors is to be avoided. The rear lid is closed.
-- Connect VAS5051B.
-- Bring the Steering Angle Sensor -G85- into 0-position (wheels straight ahead).
