FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR DESCRIPTION
Front side radar sensor radiate electromagnetic waves to detect moving objects in a front side area of the vehicle and performs high driving assist by sending this information to each system.
The radiation range of the electromagnetic waves expands vertically and horizontally in relation to the sensor.

PROCEDURES FOR MEASURING THE INSTALLATION ANGLE OF FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR
The installation angle is measured at the planes A, B, and C by use of a digital angle meter, 3D measuring instrument, or similar instrument.
For B and C, measure the sensor planes by use of a digital angle meter, or measure the position of the sensor bracket.
As an angle meter cannot be used to measure A, measure the sensor bracket (dimension y).
