Preliminary Work
-- Move the vehicle onto a solid, flat surface.
-- Activate the "standard vehicle height" on vehicles with air suspension (MMI setting: Automatic or comfort).
-- Apply the parking brake - the vehicle must not move during the measurement.
-- Place the front wheels in a straight-ahead position - steering wheel in neutral position.
-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
TIP:
If a malfunction message appears in the display. Refer to the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester Operating Instructions.
-- Switch the ignition on.
-- Remove the label with the metal foil from the bumper cover, if necessary.
-- Secure three suitable wheel bolt adapters for the wheel bolts on each :VAS6350/1 .

-- Place the :VAS6350/1 onto the wheel bolts on both rear wheels.
- The wheel center mounting rotation center must be in the wheel rotation center.
-- Place the :VAS6350/1 on the wheels so that the "anti-theft wheel bolts" are not connected to the wheel center mounting.
-- Adjust the measuring paddle using the locking nuts so that they move freely just above the floor.
- The measuring paddles must move easily.
- The measuring paddles must be vertical.
-- Position the :VAS6350A at distance -a- to the rear wheels.
- Dimension -a- = 1, 700 mm (66.92 in.)
-- Switch on the :VAS6350/2 with the ON button.
Display on the :VAS6350/2 :
- "- - - m"
- The laser is switched on at same time.
-- For distance measurement, hold the :VAS6350/2 -2- flush to the left catch bracket as shown.
- The :VAS6350/2 must lie firmly against the catch bracket.
-- Make sure the "laser beam" for the distance measurement contacts the enlarged lower part on the paddle -1-.
If this is not the case, measuring paddle height must be corrected using locking nuts on :VAS6350/1 .
-- Briefly press the ON button for distance measurement.
Display on the :VAS6350/2 :
- "1, 700 m" (specified value: 1700 ± 2 mm).
-- Repeat the measuring procedure from the right stop bracket to the right rear wheel.
- The distance value must be the same on both sides.
If both measured values are not the same, adjust the :VAS6350A accordingly.
Calibrating Procedure
The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is connected.
-- Select and start the Diagnostic operating mode.
-- Select the Test plan tab.
-- Select the Select individual test button and select the following tree structure consecutively:
- Body
- Electrical system
- 01 - OBD-capable systems
- CF - Lane Change Assistance Control Module 2 -J770
- CF - Lane Change Assistance Control Module 2, Functions
- CF - Calibration
-- Start the selected program and follow the instructions on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester display.
TIP:
- The following information clarifies which version of the lane change assistance is installed in the vehicle (SWA3.0).
-- Secure the :VAS6350/4 to the :VAS6350A mount on the rear left.
- When installed correctly, the vehicle electrical system voltage wire must be connected at the bottom left of the calibration device (as seen in direction of travel).
Dimension -a- is measured from the upper edge of the calibration device to the floor.

|---|---|---|---|
| Adjustment dimension height in mm dimension -a- | 815 | 800 | 836 |
-- The indicator on the base of the :VAS6350/4 must align with adjustment dimension on the measuring scale -1- on measuring field -arrow-.

-- Turn on the :VAS6350/3A on the :VAS6350A .
-- Wear "laser protective eyewear".
-- Align the :VAS6350A so that the :VAS6350/3A strikes the center of the brand emblem on the rear lid.
-- Check the distance on the left and right sides between the catch brackets of the :VAS6350A and the measuring paddles -1- on wheel mountings again.
- Specified value: 1700 ± 2 mm
Calibration Procedure
The following should not occur during the calibration procedure:
- There must be no metal reflectors within a 2 m radius of the calibration device (for example, tool carts, metal cabinets).
- Vehicle doors must not be opened or closed.
- People must not sit in the vehicle.
- People must not go between the vehicle and the :VAS6350/4 .
Procedure
Courtesy of AUDI OF AMERICA, LLC-- Turn on the :VAS6350/4 at the power switch -3-.
- The green LED -1- must turn on.
-- If the red LED -2- turns on: Check the :VAS6350/4 .
-- Follow the instructions in the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester display.
During the program sequence, there is a prompt to switch the :VAS6350/4 from the left to the right side of the :VAS6350 .
-- Turn off the :VAS6350/4 and reposition the calibration tool.
- When installed correctly, the vehicle electrical system voltage wire must be connected at the bottom left of the calibration device (as seen in direction of travel).
Dimension -a- is measured from the upper edge of the calibration device to the floor.
