5. Use a measuring tool (such as a tape measure) to mark out the distance from the vehicle. Use objects such
as safety cones to identify the lines during measuring.
Line 4: The distance directly next to the vehicle (0 feet from vehicle) is the Red Line on the monitor
screen.
Line 3: Measure 3.7 feet from the vehicle. This distance is the Blue Line on the monitor screen.
Line 2: Measure 7 feet from the vehicle. This distance is the Yellow Line on the monitor screen.
Line 1: Measure 9 feet from the vehicle. This distance is the Green Line on the monitor screen.
