  5. Find the target's center line by projecting a laser perpendicular to the wall onto the center point of the vehicle. Mark the center position with a piece of tape, vertically on the wall.
  6. Mark the vertical reference points: measure 79.5 cm (31.2 in) left and right from the center line and apply tape on each side, vertically to the wall.
