Radar Sensor Alignment |
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) unit detects a forward vehicle and then recognizes
the distance to the forward vehicle and the relative speed using the built-in radar
sensor. In order for the radar sensor to operate correctly, it must be properly
aligned parallel to the driving direction of the vehicle. So, the radar sensor alignment
procedure must be carried out after the sensor is reinstalled or replaced with new
one. If not performing the sensor alignment in the conditions mentioned above, the
smart cruise control system may not operate correctly.
|
The SCC radar sensor alignment is required when:
| • |
The SCC unit is reinstalled or replaced with a new one.
|
| • |
The radar sensor or the surrounding parts are impacted by a collision.
|
| • |
The sensor does not recognize a forward vehicle.
|
| • |
The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) is replaced or adjusted.
|
|
|
Preparation before the SCC radar sensor alignment:
| • |
Put the vehicle on the level ground.
|
| • |
Take out heavy luggage from the vehicles’ seats or trunk.
|
| • |
Set all tires according to the specified pressure.
|
| • |
Check that the front surface of the SCC unit is clean.
|
|
Radar sensor should be aligned in both vertical and lateral direction. Vertical
alignment can performed by using the SST (0K964-3T000) and lateral alignment can
be performed automatically by driving on a road.
| 1. |
Park the vehicle on a level ground.
|
| 2. |
Remove the front bumper.
(Refer to Body - "Front Bumper")
|
| 3. |
Check the vertical alignment of the radar sensor using the SST 0K964-3T000
(A).
If the vertical alignment is out of the the tolerance, turn the adjustment
screw (B) until the alignment is within the tolerance.
|
Tolerance: ±1.25⁰ or less
|
|
| 4. |
Install the front bumper.
(Refer to Body - "Front Bumper")
|
| 5. |
To perform the lateral alignment, connect the GDS/KDS with the engine
started and select the “SCC Alignment”.
|
Be sure to erase DTC before performing the lateral alignment.
|
|
| 6. |
Select “Running Mode” to start sensor alignment.
|
| 7. |
Drive the vehicle and check that the yellow warning light on the cluster
is turned ON and then OFF.
|
The lateral alignment takes about 5 to 15 minutes generally but
it can be shorten or extended depending on the road condition or
driving condition.
| •
|
Road or driving conditions for shortening the alignment
:
|
| –
|
Driving at more than 65 km/h (40.4 mph)
|
| –
|
Driving on a road without curve and slope
|
| –
|
Driving on a thick and wide paved road
|
| –
|
Driving on a road where there are repetitive and fixed
targets (metal materials such as street lights or guard
rails)
|
| –
|
Driving on a dry road without rain or snow
|
| •
|
Road or driving conditions that can interrupt the alignment
process
|
| –
|
Driving a road with the sharp curve where the radius
is within 100m (328.0ft)
|
| –
|
Driving at a lower speed than suggested above or during
a stop due to a red light
|
| –
|
Driving in a tunnel or under an overpass
|
| –
|
Turning the steering wheel excessively to the left or
right or changing the lane suddenly
|
|
|
Be sure to follow the below safety guidelines while driving the
vehicle for the lateral alignment :
| •
|
Observe a regulation speed
|
| •
|
Do not drive too fast for shortening the sensor alignment.
Drive safely considering the road condition and traffic
situation.
|
| •
|
Do not stare the GDS/KDS screen or operate the GDS/KDS
while driving. Only while stopping, the GDS/KDS should be
operated.
|
|
|
If the lateral alignment is not completed successfully, check
the alignment using the GDS/KDS. If the value is out of ±3⁰, check
that the back beam or bracket where the SCC unit is mounted are
in a good condition and then if there is no problems, replace the
SCC unit with new one. After replacing the SCC unit, repeat the
alignment procedure described above.
