Camera and radar calibration


This function is used when replacing the windscreen or forward-facing radar. A text message stating that the radar has not been calibrated is displayed in the combination instrument (DIM). The forward-facing radar and camera are calibrated by starting the calibration function and then concluded by driving the vehicle. The radar measures stationary objects along the road, such as signs, crash barriers, etc. and adjusts itself electronically. The camera looks for road markings, kerbstones, etc. that meet at a point on the horizon.

Note:

If both the radar and the camera need calibrating, the text message only disappears from the combination instrument (DIM) when both have been calibrated.

Calibration should be avoided under the following circumstances:

Test conditions:

Procedure:

  1. Ignition on, engine off.

  2. Select desired calibration.

  3. Perform the calibration according to the function's instructions.

    • When calibrating the radar, a warning message is illuminated in the combination instrument (DIM).

    • When calibrating the camera, fault codes C100154 and U030055 are stored.

  4. When calibration is complete, exit the function and the communication with the vehicle. A test drive should then be performed according to the following instructions.

    • Speed no lower than 60 km/h. preferably over 80 km/h. The lower the speed the longer it takes to complete the calibration.

    • Maintain a steady speed.

    • It is preferable to drive on a straight road, as roads with many curves increase the calibration time.

    • Stay around 10 car lengths from the car in front.

    • If the road has several lanes, the lane closest to fixed objects, e.g. road signs, crash barriers, etc. is preferable. Road markings that are visible on both sides of the road are preferable.

  5. The calibration time may vary according to the above conditions, but should take from 5 to 15 minutes. It may take longer, depending on the driving conditions.

  6. The text message in the combination instrument disappears when calibration has been performed; if the vehicle is restarted during calibration, calibration must start again from the beginning.

    • resume communication with the vehicle and erase any fault codes.

  7. The following information only applies to S60(11-), V60 and after structure week 201046 also S80(07-), S80L, V70(08-), XC70(08-) and XC60.

    • The camera's calibration cycle is automatically cancelled after 30 minutes if sufficient objects have not been detected. A new 30-minute period commences automatically.

    • The radar's calibration cycle continues until sufficient targets are detected.
