*Available by rental from Honda Motor Europe Ltd. for Europe market
NOTE: The millimeter wave radar must be re-aimed if the unit is removed, replaced or if aiming error occurs. The adaptive cruise control (ACC) indicator comes on if the aiming process is not completed correctly, if there is dust/dirt on the radar unit surface or if an aiming error occurs.
  • Millimeter wave radar aiming incomplete: DTC 107
  • Millimeter wave radar aiming error: DTC 63
  • Millimeter wave radar or emblem surface is contaminated with dust, dirt, ice, or snow: DTC 105
Prepare the items shown
  • HDS
  • Level (commercially available)
  • Tape measure and scale
  • String (about 10 m (32.8 ft) length)
  • String with a plumb bob
  • Ballpoint pen
  • Tape
Set Up the Vehicle
  • Aiming the millimeter wave radar requires the HDS.
  • Clean the surface of the millimeter wave radar.
  • Make sure the vehicle is not used for towing, and the front of the vehicle height is within spec.
  • Make sure the suspension has not been modified.
  • Make sure all the tyre sizes are correct and that their pressures are correct.
  • Make sure the fuel tank is full.
  • Remove all baggage from the vehicle except the tool kit.
  • Make sure the steering wheel is straight ahead, and do not turn it after setting up the vehicle.
  • Make sure the front grille and the front bumper are installed correctly.
  • Park the vehicle on level ground in a wide open space to avoid misadjustments caused by reflecting objects. The space needs to be 10 m (32.8 ft) in front, 4 m (13.1 ft) in width and 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in height.
  • Shift the transmission lever into park or neutral, and apply the parking brake.
NOTE:
  • When the millimeter wave radar is adjusted on ground that has more than 1 degree of horizontal slope (drainage slope), the vertical aiming cannot be adjusted correctly. Check the levelness of the ground, but it has a continuous slope, and adjust the angle of millimeter wave radar so it is parallel to the ground. Lay a ruler (at least 12'') or other flat straight object on the ground and put the level on top to confirm the levelness of the ground.
  • The vertical aiming can not be set correctly if the vehicle is parked on a slope of more the 1 degree of horizontal slope. Use the level gauge to ensure inspection site is within this parameter.
