Calibrating front camera for driver assist systems [R242]
Calibrating front camera for driver assist systems R242, dynamic
Preparation
Important
- Observe ⇒ Rep. gr. 98; Necessity of calibration.
- There must be no entries in the event memory that would
hinder calibration.
- Check camera field of view.
The following situations can cause the camera function to be
impaired by sustained poor visibility of the lane marker lines:
- Contamination or icing in the camera's field of view.
- Field of view of the camera is fogged.
Important
- The camera's field of view must be cleaned manually if
there is heavy soiling on the inside of the windscreen in
the camera's field of view. To do this, the camera and backlight
masking screen must be removed and the windscreen
cleaned using cleaning solution ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue
(ETKA).
- Check sensors, holders and fasteners for damage, manipulation
and secure fit.
Calibrating
Important
- ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester connected.
- Carry out function "Calibrate front camera for driver assist
systems" using ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester ⇒ Rep. gr. 00;
Access to diagnoses.

Important
- Distance between setting device and hub centre points of
front wheels must be 1500 mm +- 25 mm.
Note
If there is not enough space, move the vehicle backwards onto
the wheel alignment platform as required to make space.
- Drive vehicle straight onto wheel alignment platform.
- Turn wheels to straight-ahead position.
- Install quick-release clamps to front wheels.
- Install reflectors to quick-release clamps.
- ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester connected. Select programme
and follow instructions.
- Measure ride height -a- at all 4 wheels and note data.

Important
- Setting device must not be moved on alignment beam.
- The wheel alignment platform must be in the lowermost,
levelled position for the next work step.
- Turn up adjustment device until alignment beam is parallel to
centre of wheel alignment sensors on front wheels.

- Position setting device at distance -a- from midpoint of hub
of front wheels to beam of setting device.
Important
- Distance -a- = 1500 mm +-25 mm
- Use distance measuring unit -1- to measure distance -a- on
both sides of vehicle and align setting device.
Important
- Distance -a- must be same on both sides of vehicle.
- Fit wheel alignment sensor -1- on setting device and tighten.

Important
- The wheel alignment platform must be in the lowermost,
levelled position for the next work step.
- Measure height value -a- between contact point of setting
device and wheel contact point on alignment platform.

Non-SUV models:
Height of calibration board -VAS 6430/4-: 1200 mm + height
value -a-.
- Enter value in wheel alignment computer.

All vehicles (continued)
SUV models:
Height of calibration board -VAS 6430/4-: 1400 mm + height
value -a-.
- Enter value in wheel alignment computer.
Continued
All vehicles (continued)
- Loosen clamping bolt -arrow- and place rod -1- on floor.

- Use crank -1- to set calibration board to specified height -2-
indicated by wheel alignment computer and make a note of
this.

- When specified height has been reached, move level staff
-1- upwards slightly, and secure it with clamping bolt -arrow-.

- Turn setting device in direction of -arrow B- until display on
wheel alignment computer is within tolerance. Make sure
that neither the calibration board nor the alignment beam are
displaced.

- Tighten adjuster screws -2- and -3- slightly and secure setting
device to prevent it from rolling away.

- Turn adjuster screw -1- until display on wheel alignment
computer is within tolerance.

- Turn spirit level -A- with adjuster screw -1- and spirit level
-B- with adjuster screws -2- and -3- until calibration board is
horizontal.
