Description

To accurately detect vehicles in the adjacent lane with the radar, the sensor direction and the vehicle travel direction must be aligned. This is the alignment of the BSD modules. If this alignment is not performed, as shown below, detection performance degrades and false alarms may occur. Alignment is especially required after a rear bumper collision and after replacing the BSD unit.
  1. After a rear bumper collision and after replacing the BSD unit, the BSD unit alignment must be performed using GDS.
  2. Select the "BSD Radar Calibration" procedure in the BSD system.
  3. Perform the "BSD Radar Calibration" procedure according to the message on the GDS screen.
