10.2 Brief Operating Instructions
2008 BMW M5 GS653BZSECTION 10.2 Brief Operating Instructions
- Activate the remote control with the "ON" button (it may also be switched on during alignment). The title page will appear on the LCD.
- Select "Straight ahead" of the "Initial measurement", "Adjustment work" or "Final measurement" at the measuring equipment cabinet. The steering graphics for "Straight ahead" will appear on the LCD.
- Use the "Forward arrow" to change to the next measurement image. Display blocks will appear on the LCD with the designation of the measured value and tolerance bar with the measured value. If the measured value is within the tolerance range, it is shown in dark figures against a light background. If the measured value is outside the tolerance range, it will be shown in inverse video (light figures against a dark background).
- By pressing the "F" key shortly, you can move alternately between the designation of the measured value and the setpoint value with the tolerance inside the display blocks.
- You can scroll through the measured values using the "Forward arrow", "Backward arrow" and "Cancel" (red dot) keys. The function of these keys is identical to that of the keys on the graphics panel.
- Even with "Free alignment", it is possible to scroll through the measured values in the same way as with "Program-guided alignment".
- During measurement, the report print-out can be initiated using the "Printer" key. The remote control keys are only active during measurement and adjustment (not during customer data input, vehicle selection etc.).
