Follow the manufacturer’s instructions (typically digital
inclinometers have a “SET” button for this purpose).

Check the alignment with the alignment tool in position
so that it straddles the radar sensor. Verify that
the radar is aligned downward

, towards the road

surface in front of the vehicle, by -1.3° (± 0.8°), when
measured by an inclinometer set to zero on the vehicle’s
frame. If the sensor is not aligned correctly, follow the
instructions in section 6.08.

tool K041451 or K041227 (See Figure 26):

Where a digital inclinometer is available — or if a fl at,
level location is not available (in which case a digital
inclinometer must be used) — do not use the bubble
level.

Verify that the radar is aligned downward

, towards

the road surface in front of the vehicle, by -1.3° (± 0.8°),
when measured by an inclinometer set to zero on the
vehicle’s frame.

Where the bubble-level may be used, verify that the
bubble just touches the line nearest the vehicle. This
shows that an incline of approximately one half of a
degree downward has been set. See Figure 31.
