3.3.1 Test preparations, wheel alignment with no driver assist systems

Special tools and workshop equipment required

6C 2014–2017

• Wheel alignment computer - V.A.G 1813F- or VW/Audi-approved wheel alignment units
• Brake pedal depressor - V.A.G 1869/2-
• Insert tool, 18 mm - T10179-
• Shock absorber tool set - T10001-

The existing lateral runout of the wheel must be compensated for. Otherwise, the result of the measurement will be incorrect.

If runout compensation is not performed, it is not possible to adjust toe-in correctly!

Please follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the wheel alignment equipment.

• Carry out wheel runout compensation.
• Apply brake pedal depressor - V.A.G 1869/2-.
• Use brake pedal depressor to depress brake pedal.

6C 2014–2017 Preparations required before calibration of driver assist systems

3.3.2 Test preparations, wheel alignment with driver assist systems

The following steps are required if one or more driver assist systems on the vehicle are to be calibrated via the “Quick-start” procedure (i.e. without first checking and adjusting the wheel alignment):

• Before driving the vehicle onto the alignment platform, make sure there is sufficient space between the vehicle and the calibration unit. The distance between the calibrating device and the vehicle must be 120 cm ± 2.5 cm.
• If the available space is not adequate, move the vehicle backwards on the alignment platform as required. This allows the use of the respective floor area.
• Before starting calibration, read out event memory and rectify any faults.
• Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension bounced and rocked several times.
• When checking wheel alignment, ensure that sliding plates and turn tables are not touching end stop.
• Connect battery charger ⇒ Electrical system; Rep. gr. 27; Battery; Disconnecting and reconnecting battery.
• Move front wheels to straight-ahead position.
• Connect ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester to vehicle, route diagnostic cable through open door window.
• Vehicle exterior lighting switched off.
• All doors of vehicle are closed.
• Press button to select required calibration on wheel alignment computer.
