    *a Approx. 10 m (32.8 ft.)
    *b Approx. 14 m (45.9 ft.)

    CAUTION:

    Exposure to radio frequency emissions is hazardous to your health. It is hazardous to be within 20 cm (7.87 in.) of the radio frequency aperture of the device.

    Note


    • This device complies with FCC radio frequency emission regulations.

    • Perform adjustment on a level surface.

    • Make sure that no large pieces of metal are within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) x 14 m (45.9 ft.) area in front of the vehicle. If possible, the surrounding area should also be free of large metal objects.


    1. Before adjusting the radar beam axis, prepare the vehicle as follows.


      1. Check the tire pressure and adjust it if necessary.

      2. Remove all excess weight from the vehicle (luggage, heavy objects, etc.).

    2. Check and adjust the vertical direction of the radar sensor.

        *2 Level
        *3 Screwdriver Insertion Hole
        *4 Bolt A
        *a LH
        *b FR

        Check that the level's air bubble is within the red frame.

        OK
        Level's air bubble is within red frame.

        If the bubble is not within the red frame, use a screwdriver to adjust bolt A until the level's air bubble is within the red frame.

        Tech Tips


        • The adjustable range within the red frame of the level is +/-0.2°.

        • The target angle is +0.2° (upward angle of 0.2°).

        Result
        Adjustment Direction Adjustment Procedure Adjustment Angle (Reference)
        Vertical adjustment Upward direction: Turn bolt A to positive (+) side For every rotation of screwdriver, sensor moves approximately 0.12 °
        Downward direction: Turn bolt A to negative (-) side

        09870-60040

        Tech Tips

        Prepare a string that is more than 10 m (32.8 ft.) long with a sharp-pointed weight (plumb bob), and a 5 m (16.4 ft.) tape measure.

      *1 String
      *a Adjust Center by Moving String to Right and Left
      *b Extend String Through Front Center Mark

      Place the reflector.


      1. Hang the string with weight from the center of the vehicle rear's emblem. Mark the vehicle rear's center point on the ground. Repeat for the front of the vehicle.

      2. Secure one end of the string to the vehicle rear's center point. Run the string over the vehicle front's center point to a position 5 m (16.4 ft.) beyond the vehicle front's center point, as shown in the illustration. Mark the 5 m (16.4 ft.) position.

      3. Place the reflector (SST) at the marked position.

        Note

        Perform the operation as precisely as possible.

    5. Check the radar beam axis.

      Tech Tips

      If a screen indicating an error is displayed while performing this procedure, perform the procedure again from *1.


      1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      3. Turn the intelligent tester main switch on, and turn the cruise control main switch on.

      4. Select "Auto" from the intelligent tester display screen.*1

      5. Select "Radar Cruise" from the display screen.

      6. Select "Utility" from the display screen.

      7. Select "Beam Axis Adjustment" from the display screen.

      8. Follow the tester display and select "Next".

        Note


        • Turn the cruise control main switch ON before pressing Next.

        • Make sure there is at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) between the radar sensor and any nearby individuals.

          CAUTION:

          Do not come within 20 cm (7.87 in.) of the radar sensor.

      9. Check the following items on the radar cruise divergence data screen.

        CAUTION:

        While using the beam axis adjustment mode of the intelligent tester, the actual direction and angle of the radar sensor may be different from the data on the intelligent tester. In such a case, the deviation is displayed on the multi-information display of the combination meter.


        1. Confirm that the distance is approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.).

          Tech Tips


          • A value between 0.0 and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.) is indicated.

          • If the distance is 0 m (0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the NOTICE at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).

        2. Confirm that the left/right side value is between 0.0 and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.).

          Tech Tips

          If the distance is 0 m (0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the NOTICE at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).

    6. Check and adjust the horizontal direction of the radar sensor.


      1. Check that the divergence of the radar beam axis is 0°.

        Standard
        0° (Both right and left)

        If the axis is not as specified, use a screwdriver to adjust bolt B until the divergence of the radar beam axis is 0°.

        *1 Screwdriver Insertion Hole
        *2 Bolt B

        Using a screwdriver, turn and adjust bolt B for horizontal adjustment of the millimeter wave radar sensor based on the measured divergence of the beam axis.

        Result
        Adjustment Direction Adjustment Procedure Adjustment Angle (Reference)
        Horizontal adjustment Right direction: Turn bolt B to positive (+) side For every rotation of screwdriver, sensor moves approximately 0.07 °
        Left direction: Turn bolt B to negative (-) side

        Tech Tips


        • If "LEFT SIDE: 1.0°" is displayed, the divergence is 1.0° in the left direction. Turn bolt B approximately 14.8 turns to the negative (-) side.

        • If the value does not change to 0°, it is possible that the sensor is aiming at something different. Reconfirm that there are no reflective materials in the surrounding area.

      3. Select "Next". The driving learning value is automatically reset.

        Tech Tips

        A buzzer will sound for 10 seconds or more.

      4. Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.

    7. Recheck and readjust the vertical direction of the radar sensor.
