Note
• Forward sensing camera (FSC) aiming procedure stores the camera shot angle in the FSC by mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming), which is performed by driving the vehicle for a predetermined time under specific conditions or by stationary aiming (static aiming), which is performed by having the FSC to read a target used for aiming.
• Perform the FSC aiming if any of the following procedure is performed.
― FSC replacement
― Windshield replacement
• If an obstruction on the windshield or camera lens is blocking the scene in front of the vehicle, the target used for aiming cannot be read-in and aiming will not be performed correctly. Perform the following procedure before performing the aiming.
― Verify that there is no water, mud, soiling or sticker adhesion on the windshield, and that there is nothing on the camera lens such as dust or soiling.
• Driving the vehicle for a total of 5 to 10 min under the following conditions is necessary to complete mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming). However, driving the vehicle while matching the conditions does not have to be continuous.
― Drive the vehicle at a vehicle speed of 40 km/h {25 mph} or more
― Drive the vehicle on a straight road (road with a turning radius of 300 m {984 ft 3 in} or more)
― Drive the vehicle on a road with lane markers and structures (buildings and signs)
― Drive the vehicle on a road with a level surface (not rough or inclined roads)
• Mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming) may not complete in an environment where any of the following conditions continues.
― Inclement weather caused by snow, rain, or fog
― Windshield washer is being used or wipers are not used during rain
― Exhaust gas from the vehicle ahead, sand or snow, or smoke and water-spray caused by steam from manholes rise up from the road
― Vehicle is driven with significantly worn tires
― Vehicle is driven downhill or on extremely rough or uneven roads
― Area is dark such as at nighttime or evening, early morning, and in a tunnel or indoor parking
― Headlight lens is dirty or its optical axis is deviated, or the headlights are not bright enough
― Vehicle is subjected to strong light (driving towards the sun or high-beams) from the vehicle front
― Vehicle is driven with tire chains or a spare tire equipped
― Vehicle is driven downhill or on extremely rough or uneven roads
• Perform stationary aiming (static aiming) when mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming) is not performed.



Aiming Procedure


Mid-drive aiming (Dynamic aiming)

1.Empty the vehicle by having all occupants leave the vehicle and remove all the cargo except for the spare tire, jack and tools.

2.Adjust the air pressure of each tire to the specified value. (See WHEEL AND TIRE SPECIFICATION [(US)].)

3.Move the vehicle to level ground.

4.Connect the M-MDS.

5.Perform the DTC inspection for the FSC using the M-MDS and verify that no DTCs other than B14F0:04, B14F0:76 are displayed. (See DTC INSPECTION.)

Note
• Because DTC B14F0:04, B14F0:76 is output if aiming is not performed, continue to perform the FSC aiming if only B14F0:04, B14F0:76 is output. (See DTC TABLE [VEHICLE CONTROL MODULE (US)].)

6.After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initial screen of the M-MDS.

1. “Toolbox”
2. “Work Support”
3. “i-ACTIVSENSE”
4. “Dynamic aiming”
5. “Dynamic aiming for FSC”

7.Perform the FSC aiming procedure according to the directions on the M-MDS.

Note
• When in mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming) mode, the i-ACTIVSENSE warning light turns on.

am3zzw00029521
• Instruction “Forward Sensing Camera Calibration Mode” can be displayed on instrument cluster.
• M-MDS can be removed or left connected to the vehicle during the mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming) road drive.

8.Drive the vehicle on a road and verify that the message in the multi-information display is no longer displayed.

Note
• When completing the mid-drive aiming, “i-ACTIVSENSE Temporarily Disabled” may be displayed for 5 s on the multi-information display while the forward sensing camera (FSC) system restores, but the mid-drive aiming is completed.


Stationary aiming (Static aiming)

1.Empty the vehicle by having all occupants leave the vehicle and remove all the cargo except for the spare tire, jack and tools.

2.Adjust the air pressure of each tire to the specified value. (See WHEEL AND TIRE SPECIFICATION [(US)].)

3.Move the vehicle to level ground.

Caution
• If the setting surface height and angle between the vehicle and the target differs, correct FSC aiming cannot be done. Perform the FSC aiming with the vehicle and target setting surface on level ground.

4.Verify that there are no obstructions such as metal objects in the shaded areas shown in the figure.

Caution
• If the FSC aiming is performed with obstructions such as white and black patterned objects or reflective metal in the shaded areas, the FSC will determine such obstructions as targets and the FSC aiming procedure will not be performed correctly. Move all obstructions away from the shaded areas, and when performing the aiming, do not have personnel standing in the shaded areas.

5.Perform the DTC inspection for the FSC using the M-MDS and verify that no DTCs other than B14F0:04, B14F0:76 are displayed. (See DTC INSPECTION.)

Note
• Because DTC B14F0:04, B14F0:76 is output if aiming is not performed, continue to perform the FSC aiming if only DTC B14F0:04, B14F0:76 is output. (See DTC TABLE [VEHICLE CONTROL MODULE (US)].)

6.Adjust the SST (plum-bob) so that it is aligned with the center of the brand emblem, determine the center position at the front of the vehicle, and mark the center position (point A) on the floor surface.

am3zzw00022548
Note
• The center of the brand emblem indicates the center position of the vehicle.

7.Adjust the SST (plum-bob) so that it is aligned with the center of the brand emblem, determine the center position at the rear of the vehicle, and mark the center position (point B) on the floor surface.

am3zzw00022240
Note
• The center of the brand emblem indicates the center position of the vehicle.

8.Secure the end of the leveling line over point B.

Note
• Use a commercially-available leveling line.
am3zzw00022241

9.Pull the unsecured end of the leveling line over the vehicle and to the front and adjust it so that it passes over point A.

10.Mark the line (position A) at the point 160 cm {63.0 in} from point A and in the direction forward of the vehicle.

am3zzw00022242

11.Mark the points (points D and E) 50 cm {20 in} from point C on the line which runs perpendicular to the vehicle center line.

am3zzw00022243

12.Pull the connected points D, C and E lines (target setting line).

13.Print out 6 sheets of each of the following target papers without using scaling.

Note
• If the target sheets cannot be printed, follow the dimensions shown in Step 15 to make target sheets.

aaxjjw00023545

14.Cut the printed target sheets along the dotted line and line up the two sheets at their respective center marks as shown in the figure, and then affix cellophane tape to the back of the target.

Caution
• When taping the two target sheets together, if cellophane tape is affixed to the front of the target sheets it could reflect light and adversely affect the aiming accuracy. When taping the two target sheets together, affix the cellophane tape to the back of the target pattern.
aaxjjw00019777

15.Verify that the taped-together target is of the dimensions shown in the figure.

am6zzw00016840

16.Affix double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the target.

Caution
• When affixing the target, if tape is affixed to the front of the target it could reflect light and adversely affect the aiming accuracy. When affixing the target, affix the double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the target, and then affix it to the board.

17.Align the target to the height shown in the figure, and affix it to a board.

Note
• Use a wooden board which does not reflect light to affix the target.
am6zzw00014733

18.Align the center of the target with point C using the SST (plum bob).

am3zzw00022244

19.Align so that the board and the target setting line are level with the center of point C.

20.Connect the M-MDS.

21.After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initial screen of the M-MDS.

1. “Toolbox”
2. “Work Support”
3. “i-ACTIVSENSE”
4. “Static aiming”
5. “Static aiming for FSC”
