The vehicle must be level
when performing the vertical alignment procedure. Do not remove the vehicle
from the alignment rack.
Clean the front of the radar sensor with water and a clean shop towel.
Use the bubble tool to adjust the vertical alignment of the radar sensor:
Gently support the bubble tool flat against the upper center portion of the radar sensor face.
CAUTION
Do not apply excessive pressure to the bubble tool; the radar sensor might become misaligned.
Check the bubble on the long portion of the bubble tool. The radar sensor is calibrated vertically if the bubble is centered between the black lines.
CAUTION
The bubble must be centered between the 2 black lines to achieve the required calibration.
If necessary, adjust the vertical set screw.
