CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

Radiofrequency radiation exposure information:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be kept with minimum distance of 20 cm (7.87 in.) between the radiator (antenna) and your body at all times during adjustment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

PROCEDURE

1. PREPARATION FOR MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT

(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface where the area in front of the vehicle shown in the illustration is free of metal objects.

HINT:

Metal objects that have a height of 50 mm (1.97 in.) or less do not affect adjustment within 2 m (6.56 ft.) from the front of the vehicle.

*a	5 m (16.4 ft.)
*b	6 m (19.7 ft.)
*c	4 m (13.1 ft.)
*d	2 m (6.56 ft.)
*e	3 m (9.84 ft.)
*f	1.5 m (4.92 ft.)
*g	2.5 m (8.2 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

(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.

(d) Clean the radiator grille (or front panel) emblem or millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

(e) Visually inspect the front of the vehicle.

HINT:

Confirm that there is no damage or deformation.

(f) Visually inspect the front bumper assembly, radiator grill and stays.

HINT:

Confirm that there is no damage or deformation.

2. MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY

(a) Adjust SST (reflector) height.

(1) Adjust SST (reflector) so that the center of SST (reflector) is the same height as the millimeter wave radar sensor.

HINT:

Make sure to align the center of SST (reflector) with the millimeter wave radar sensor (the center of the emblem).

Reference Value:

About 834 mm (2.74 ft.)

SST: 09870-60000

09870-60010

SST: 09870-60040

*a	SST (reflector)

(b) Place SST (reflector).

(1) Hang a weight with a pointed tip from the center of the symbol emblem, and mark the rear center point of the vehicle (point A) on the ground.

*a	String	*b	Weight
*c	Center	*d	Bilateral Symmetry

HINT:

Lightly flick the string with your fingers several times to confirm that the string is perpendicular to the ground.

(2) Hang a weight with a pointed tip from the center of the radiator grille (or front panel) emblem, and mark the front center point of the vehicle (point B) on the ground (placement position).

*a	String	*b	Weight
*c	Center	*d	Bilateral Symmetry

HINT:

Lightly flick the string with your fingers several times to confirm that the string is perpendicular to the ground.

(3) Using tape and a string, create a line that connects point B to point A and extends at least 3000 mm (9.84 ft.) beyond the front center point of the vehicle.

*a	String	*b	Tape
*c	3000 mm (9.84 ft.)	-	-

HINT:

Make sure the string is taut when securing it with tape.
Lightly flick the string with your fingers several times to confirm that the string is aligned with point B.

(4) Mark point C (SST (reflector) placement position) at a position 3000 mm (9.84 ft.) from point B.

(5) Place SST (reflector) at point C.
