  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 (26.2 ft) front, 4m (13.1 ft) sides, and 1.2m (3.9 ft) above the vehicle.
    • Remove heavy objects from inside ofthe 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.
