vehicle according to the software prompts and adjust the device to be parallel
and centered to the vehicle, use the correct calibration target, and adjust
the target altitude to the one specified by the software.
4.1 Prerequisites for Using ADAS Calibration Tool
Reason for Calibration: Repair or replace the sensor control unit (replace ACC
radar, front camera sensor). The deviation angle of the sensor is out of
normal range (the angle of installation position
is incorrect). Move the position of the sensor on vehicle body (sensor
position changed). Repair or replace the parts that fix the front sensor
(replace the bumper, front windshield). Adjust the chassis. Before using the
calibration tool to perform the calibration, please ensure the following
conditions: The position of the vehicle with a sensor cannot be damaged. The
fixed sensor components and brackets cannot be deformed. Check the air
pressure of tire and correct it to the recommended value if necessary. Apply
the parking brake and close the door. Make sure that the vehicle’s coolant and
oil should be within the recommended range,
and fill up with fuel. The vehicle does not carry any items (passengers or
cargo). Connect the VCI to the vehicle to ensure that there is no DTC in other
systems of the
vehicle except ADAS-related systems. During calibration, the operator should
not support on the vehicle.

iSmartADAS PRO+ Calibration Tool User Manual
4.1.3 Workstation lighting The lighting system around the calibration work
site should be a non-frequency flash source, including but not limited to: LED
light source, industrial lighting that meets international standards, and
reverse phase dual light sources. There should be no direct light source in
the view range of camera, otherwise the camera will reduce the exposure and
darken the captured calibration target, which will adversely affect the
calibration. The light source is required to ensure that there are no
reflection points on the calibration target. The light source is required to
ensure that the illumination of the calibration work site is evenly
distributed. Do not change the light brightness and ensure that there are no
other changing light sources around the work site, such as a driving vehicle
