VERTICAL AIMING AND ADJUSTING
The virtual image should be aligned vertically so that the
horizon appears in the lower one-half to one-third of the
combiner. Keeping the image at this adjustment should
provide a view of the road when the vehicle is driven up
and down hills.
The vertical aiming adjusters can accommodate
approximately ±4 degrees of movement. If the IR camera
needs more than 4 degrees of vertical movement the IR
camera bracket will need to be adjusted. Before changing
the vertical aiming adjuster, make sure the 5/16 bolts of the
IR camera bracket are tightened to 90-100 in.-lbs.
1. Using Figures 39 - 42 and a T15 Torx wrench, adjust
the angle of the IR camera as needed.
NOTE: Two turns of the vertical adjuster is equal to
one degree of IR camera movement.
NOTE: It is recommended that the IR camera
adjusters be aimed to view approximately 200 ft
(61m) in front of the vehicle. Any thermal objects
closer than 200 feet will already be illuminated by
the low beam headlamps.
