-
Connect the GNSS antenna, and then engage the connector lock.
- Place the vehicle into Service Mode via the UI. See Service Mode.
- Using the vehicle touchscreen, set the vehicle ride height to "Medium".
- Unlock the vehicle gateway. See Gateway (Unlock).
- On the vehicle touchscreen, navigate to Service Mode Plus > Driver Assist > Cameras > Clear Camera Calibration > Run to clear the front facing camera calibration.
- Park the vehicle on a flat surface with at least 106 cm (3.5 ft) of space in front of the front fascia.
-
Set up the target so that the bottom
of the rectangle is 91.4 cm (3 ft) from the ground.
-
Place the target in the appropriate
starting position:
- The checkered portion of the target is facing towards the vehicle.
- The target is centered with the Tesla "T" on the hood.
- The target is placed as close to the front fascia as possible.
-
Make sure that the target is on flat
ground by examining the bubble level on the back of the target.
-
Apply a piece of red tape on the
target so that the top of the tape is 165 cm from the ground.
CAUTIONDo not use existing marks from previous verifications. Remove any existing tape. Measure and reapply new tape to ensure the tape is in the correct location.NoteThe checker pattern on the target is used for vehicles with 1st generation Autopilot. Ignore the checker pattern when affixing the tape.NoteIf the vehicle is equipped with aftermarket suspension components that alter the vehicle ride height, the red tape might have to be adjusted to ensure accurate pitch verification.
- On the vehicle touchscreen, navigate to Service Mode Plus > Driver Assist > Cameras > Camera Preview > Pitch verification > Main camera > Wide Camera to verify front camera pitch.
-
Review the image on the
touchscreen:
NoteThe top of the tape should coincide with the blue horizontal line, If the tape is between the green lines, it is sufficientNoteThe top of the red tape (A) should coincide with the blue horizontal line. However, if the top of the red tape is between the green lines, that is sufficient.
- If the top of the red tape (A) is between the two green lines (B and C), the forward facing camera is within calibration pitch specifications. Go to step 25.
- If the top of the red tape (A) is not between the two green lines (B and C), the forward facing camera needs adjustment. Continue to the next step to adjust the camera.
-
Use a pitch adjustment wrench to
adjust the camera pitch so that the top of the red tape will be between the 2 green
lines.
NoteRotating the wrench clockwise pitches the camera up, and counterclockwise pitches the camera down conversely. 1 full rotation of the wrench can adjust the pitch 0.5 - 1.5 degrees.
