General Information

After performing service work on the vehicle, it may be necessary to calibrate the peripheral camera system. In detail, this is the case after:

• Replacing one or more cameras

• Peripheral camera control module (J928) replacement

• Repairing vehicle parts after an accident, which held a camera.

• After suspension adjustments

• Repairs to the front and rear axles

• When adjusting the overlap range of the individual cameras

All cameras must be calibrated if the peripheral camera control module (J928) is replaced.

Calibration Requirements

• The camera lens must be clean. Cleaning

• Check the camera images on the front information display control head (J685). Replace the camera if the images are unclear because the camera has been damaged. Check the mount for the camera if the image is low.

• Make sure both exterior rearview mirrors are folded out.

• The vehicle must be standing on a firm and level surface.

• There must be enough clearance around the vehicle (at least 2 meters).

• The parking brake must be set.

• The steering wheel must be in the 0 position and the wheels must be straight.

• If the vehicle has an air suspension, turn on "Auto" and drive the vehicle at "standard vehicle height" onto the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

• All doors and the rear lid must be closed.

• No one should be in the vehicle.

• The vehicle must not be loaded (curb weight).

• Connect the battery charger.

• Ignition switched on.

• The system is active and is displayed on the front information display control head (J685).

• Do not move the vehicle during the calibration process.

Calibrate the cameras in the following sequence:

• Front peripheral camera (R243)

• Rear peripheral camera (R246)

• Left peripheral camera (R244)

• Right peripheral camera (R245)
