RADAR TEST PROCEDURE
1. Remove any occupants and unload cargo from the cabin and trunk compartment so that the vehicle is in
an unloaded condition.
2. Adjust the air pressure of each tire to the specified value.
3. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
4. Verify that there is no obstruction within a
3,500 mm {137.8 in}
radius from the BSM control module as
shown in the figure.

5. Adjust the SST (plum-bob) so that it is aligned with the center of the brand emblem, determine the center
position at the front of the vehicle, and mark the center position on the floor surface.
CAUTION:
z
If an obstruction such as a drain lid or a person is within a 3,500
mm {137.8 in} radius from the BSM control module, it will
interfere with radar emitting and skew the radar test results.
Remove any obstruction which is within a 3,500 mm {137.8 in}
radius from the BSM control module.
NOTE:
z
The center of the brand emblem indicates the center position at the
front of the vehicle.

A commercially-available plum-bob (weight: 150 g {5.29 oz}) can be
substituted for the SST.
