Remove
- Remove the front fascia assembly. See Fascia Assembly - Front (Remove and Install).
-
Disconnect the front radar sensor
connector.

NoteBe prepared to go on a test drive before beginning routine. Shift the vehicle into Drive beforehand. Starting the routine will begin the calibration process. If the drive does not occur process may time out.
-
Drive the vehicle as instructed by the
software, and then monitor the progress bar until radar calibration is complete.
NoteIf the test drive shows the vehicle to track poorly or pull to the side, or if steering is sloppy or off center, then perform a four wheel alignment check. See Four Wheel Alignment Check.NoteOnce the calibration process is initiated, be prepared to go for a drive. When driving, keep in the right most lane (if on a multi-lane road), and try to keep the vehicle speed above 30 mph. The routine will take approximately 5 minutes, after which the results will pop-up on the screen.
