Adjustment [08/2016 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT TIRE 
    1. Inspect the tires. Refer to INSPECTION [09/2015 - ] .
  2. INSPECT VEHICLE HEIGHT 
    NOTE:

    Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specification.

    1. Press down on the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension, and then measure the vehicle height.
      NOTE:

      The standard value shown here is a value that is used for adjusting the wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

      HINT: 

      • The camber and caster should be as close as possible to the center value.
      • Make sure the difference between the left and right camber and caster is within +/-30' (0.5°).

      Read the adjustment chart (example).

      1. Find the wheel alignment standard value applicable for the particular model.
      2. Mark the selected standard value on the adjustment chart.

        Standard Value (Reference)

        Camber Caster
        0°00' (0.00°) 4°00' (4.00°)

  8. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD 
  9. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
    NOTE:
    NOTE:

    w/ Navigation System: 

    After the engine switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

  10. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
    NOTE:

    When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected. Refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2015 - 08/2019] and INITIALIZATION [08/2019 - ] .

  11. PERFORM YAW RATE AND DECELERATION SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
