Calibration Preparation Work

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Calibration Unit - VAS6350A-
♦ Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings - VAS6350/1-
♦ Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser - VAS6350/2-
♦ Calibration Tool - Lane Change Calibration Tool - VAS6350/4-
♦ Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
Various preparation work procedures must be performed before

the actual calibration procedure using the Vehicle Diagnostic

Tester .
Requirements
• Move the vehicle onto a secure flat surface.
• Apply the parking brake - the vehicle must not move during the

measurement.

• Place the front wheels in a straight-ahead position - steering

wheel neutral position.

• No persons may be in the vehicle interior during the meas‐

urement.

• Do not open and close the vehicle doors during calibration.
Procedure
– Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester .
– Turn on the ignition.
– Tighten three wheel bolt adapters (17 mm) for the wheel bolts

on each -VAS6350/1- .

– Insert the measuring paddle on both -VAS6350/1- and secure

it with the locking nut.

– Place the -VAS6350/1- onto the wheel bolts on both rear

wheels.

• The wheel center sensor rotation center must be in wheel ro‐

tation center.

Note

Place the -VAS6350/1- on the wheels so that the “anti-theft wheel

bolts” are not connected with wheel center mounting.

– Adjust the measuring paddle using the lock nuts so that they

move freely just above the floor.

• The measuring paddles must move easily.
• The measuring paddles must be vertical.
