9 - Calibration Board
- Between the mounts on the calibration board and the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings -VAS6350/1--dimension A- 1.47 m through 1.90 m
Calibration board alignment
- Position the calibration platform behind the vehicle at a distance of 1.47 m to 1.90 m to the rear wheels, see -dimension A- in the illustration.
- Bring the Calibration Tool -VAS6350- into a horizontal position.
- Twist the plastic feet under the calibration board so that air bubble in level is located exactly in the center of the indicator -arrow-.
WARNING
Make sure light does not reflect off the calibration platform.
Reflections affect the Rearview Camera -R189- and may make it impossible to perform the calibration.
- Switch on the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser -VAS6350/3--1- on the calibration board and align the entire Calibration Tool -VAS6350A-, so that the laser beam points to the middle of the vehicle height above the Audi rings.
- Make sure the Audi rings are centered on the rear. Adjust the laser beam as needed.
Continue calibrating the Rearview Camera -R189-. Refer to → Chapter "Rearview Camera -R189-, Calibrating".
