Dynamic Aiming

Caution

•  There is a risk that DTC B14F0:76 may not be cleared and then the FSC may require replacement. Therefore, when performing the dynamic aiming, do not switch the ignition OFF until the following conditions are met.

―  Dynamic aiming is completed

―  Dynamic aiming timeout period has expired

•  Perform the dynamic aiming with the sensor covers installed to the sensors. Otherwise, the dynamic aiming may not be completed normally due to the affects of noise.

Note

•  In order to perform mid-drive aiming, it is necessary to drive on a road that meets the following conditions for 5 to 10 min. However, it does not need to be a continuous period of 5 to 10 min

―  Drive the vehicle at a vehicle speed of 40 km/h {25 mph} or more

―  Drive the vehicle on a straight road (road with a turning radius of 300 m {984 ft 3 in} or more)

―  Drive the vehicle on a road with lane markers and structures (buildings and signs)

―  Drive the vehicle on a road with a level surface (not rough or inclined roads)

•  Mid-drive aiming may not complete in an environment where any of the following conditions continues.

―  Inclement weather caused by snow, rain, or fog

―  Windshield washer is being used or wipers are not used during rain

―  Smoke from vehicle exhaust, steam rising from manholes or gratings, and sand, snow, and water spray are dispersed into the air

―  Vehicle is driven with significantly worn tires

―  Vehicle is driven downhill or on extremely rough or uneven roads

―  Area is dark such as at nighttime or evening, early morning, and in a tunnel or indoor parking

―  Headlight lens is dirty or its optical axis is deviated, or the headlights are not bright enough

―  Vehicle is subjected to strong light (driving towards the sun or high-beams) from the vehicle front

―  Vehicle is driven with tire chains or a spare tire equipped

•  If mid-drive aiming cannot be performed or mid-drive aiming fails, perform static aiming.

1.  Empty the vehicle by removing all the cargo except for the spare tire, jack and tools equipped on the vehicle.
