Camera Adjustment, Inspection: Procedure: Preparations

Perform the preparation of the adjustment and inspection for the stereo camera.

• When performing adjustment or inspection by affixing RANDOM CHART onto partition 
  1. Before preparation, check the following items.
     1. The headlight is off.
     2. The vehicle is parked on a level surface.
     3. The inflation pressure of tires is correct.
     4. The vehicle does not have load.
     5. The front wheels are directed to the straight ahead position, when the steering wheel is set to the center position.
        NOTE: When the front wheels are not directed to the straight ahead position, adjust the alignment. Ref. to FRONT SUSPENSION>WHEEL ALIGNMENT>ADJUSTMENT .
  2. Prepare the Subaru Select Monitor, measure, plumb bob, leveling line and RANDOM CHART (ST).

     Preparation tool: 

     ST: RANDOM CHART (87599VA000)

  3. Stop the vehicle on a level surface where approximately 5 m (16.41 ft) space can be secured in front of the vehicle.
  4. Suspend the plumb bob with leveling line from front center position of vehicle (center of the license plate base), and mark the position where the plumb bob touches the ground. (Point A)

     NOTE: Stick the packing tape etc. on the floor, then make a marking on the tape.
  5. Suspend the plumb bob with leveling line from rear center position of vehicle (center of the cover - rear bumper B), and mark the position where the plumb bob touches the ground. (Point B)

     NOTE: Stick the packing tape etc. on the floor, then make a marking on the tape.
  6. Strain approximately 5 m (16.41 ft) leveling line from the marking point B through the marking point A toward front of the vehicle, and fix it with packing tape. (A-B line)

     NOTE: Confirm that there is no wet condition or unevenness on the floor, to strain the leveling line correctly.
  7. Mark the installation position of the partition.
     1. Suspend the plumb bob from the center of each front wheel, and mark the point C and point D.
     2. Strain the leveling lines from the point C and point D toward the front of vehicle parallel to the vehicle body center line (A-B line), and fix the leveling lines with packing tape.
     3. Make markings at the points 4, 000 mm (13 ft, 1 1/2 in) ahead of the vehicle from the point C and point D. (Point E and point F)
     4. Strain the leveling line so that it passes through the point E and point F. (E-F line)

  8. Place the partition and RANDOM CHART.
     CAUTION:

     • Affix the RANDOM CHART onto the vertical partition with flat surface.
     • When affixing the RANDOM CHART using tape, place the tape within 10 mm (0.39 in) from the edge of the CHART. In this case, do not affix with lustrous tapes which may reflect the light.
     • Perform the adjustment work at lighted places. If the lighting is not enough, adjustment cannot be done, and accuracy rate may not be acquired.
     • The adjustment in the outdoors cannot be recommended. Note the sun position, when adjusting it in outdoor by necessity. (It is not acceptable when the sunlight comes from front or rear of the vehicle)
     1. Using the plumb bob, attach the RANDOM CHART on the partition, so that the setting reference (vertical line) center is aligned with the vehicle body center line (leveling line) and the height of the setting reference (horizontal line) center from the floor is 1, 000 mm (3 ft, 3 3/8 in).
     2. Adjust the partition so that it is parallel to E-F line.

     CAUTION:

     • Centering accuracy of the plumb bob shall be ±4 mm (±0.16 in) or less.

     • Positioning accuracy of the measure shall be ±2 mm (±0.08 in) or less.
     • Centering accuracy of the tire shall be ±4 mm (±0.16 in) or less.

     • Apply the lighting from the upper direction of RANDOM CHART, and make adjustment so that brightness is even in the CHART. (If the lighting is applied from the position where light reflects at RANDOM CHART, the adjustment cannot be done, because the reflected light enters the camera.)

     • When using a white board as a partition, affix the RANDOM CHART on the flat surface without protrusion such as penholder. When suspending the plumb bob, suspend it vertically from the RANDOM CHART while avoiding any protrusion.

  9. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  10. Check the windshield glass and the dashboard. Ref. to EYESIGHT (DIAGNOSTICS)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>INSPECTION>WINDSHIELD GLASS AND DASHBOARD .
      CAUTION: If there are any dirt, object or reflection from dashboard within the visibility of stereo camera, the correct adjustment and inspection can not be performed. Especially, do not put paper etc. on the dashboard.
  11. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.
      NOTE: For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Application help".
  12. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  13. Wait for 10 seconds.
  14. On «Start» display, select «Diagnosis».
  15. On «Vehicle selection» display, enter vehicle information and select «Confirmed».
  16. On «Main Menu» display, select «Each System».
  17. Select «EyeSight» on «Select System» display while pressing the pre-collision brake OFF switch and the lane departure warning OFF switch mounted on stereo camera cover assembly at the same time, and then select «Enter».
      NOTE: If «EyeSight» is selected without pressing two switches at the same time, the camera adjustment items are not displayed in «Work Support». (For preventing mis-operation)
