CAUTION:
  • When the stereo camera or windshield glass has been replaced, removed or installed, always perform the adjustment and inspection of the camera. (When the stereo camera has been replaced with a new part, the camera remains in a failed state until adjustment and inspection are performed.)

  • Attach the protective cover to the replacement part, put it into the box in the same way as the other parts and return it.
  • Do not touch the lens filter on the stereo camera. If touched, replace the lens hood.
  • When removing the stereo camera cover assembly, attach protective tape with a weak adhesive force such as masking tape to avoid interference with the camera lens before performing operation.
