2 m (6.56 ft.)

Do not place any metal objects in this area

Do not place metal objects with a height of more than 50 mm (1.97 in.) in this area

HINT:

Metal objects with a height of 50 mm (1.97 in.) or less placed within the area shown in the illustration will not affect the adjustment.

(b) Check the levelness of the ground.

(1) Check the levelness of the ground at the 3 points shown in the illustration.

*a

3 m (9.84 ft.)

Levelness Check Point

(2) Place the level on each levelness check point and check that the air bubble of the level is centered.

(c) Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified pressure.

  • Do not turn off the Techstream or ignition switch.
  • Do not move or shake the vehicle during adjustment (do not get in or out of the vehicle).
  • Close all of the doors.

(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(3) Turn the Techstream on.

(4) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Pre-Collision 2 / Utility / Front Beam Axis Adjustment.
