PREPARATION OF J-52266-2 ALIGNMENT TARGET

Prepare the alignment target according to the following procedure and the figure.

Attach the J-52266-2 alignment target to a movable board.

NOTE:

Use the board that peripheral area of the target is monochrome such as a whiteboard.

Notice that the cross of the target is horizontal and vertical.

	White wall		String		Cone
	Center between two targets

Side of a target (Ts)	: 120 mm (4.72 in)
Height of a target lower end (Htl)	: 1,180 mm (46.46 in)
Height of a target center (Ht)	: 1,300 mm (51.18 in)
Height of a target upper end (Htu)	: 1,420 mm (55.91 in)
Width between a right target center from a left target center (Dbt)	: 720 mm (28.35 in)
W1	: 180 mm (7.09 in)
W2	: 180 mm (7.09 in)

Proceed to Target Setting.

Target Setting

CAUTION:

Be sure to place the target correctly according to work procedures because the system may not operate normally.

Perform this operation in a horizontal position where there is a clear view for 5 m (16.4 ft) forward and 3 m (9.84 ft) wide.

Place the target in a well-lighted location. (Poor lighting may make it hard to adjust.)

The target may not be detected when there is a light source within 1.5 m (4.92 ft) from either side and within 1 m (3.28 ft) upward/downward from the target.

Check the location of the sun. (Sunlight should not shine directly on the front of the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle.)

The target may not be detected when there is the same pattern of black and white as the target when the pattern is within 1 m (3.28 ft) from either side and upward/downward position from the target. (It is desirable that the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle is positioned on the opposite side of a single-color wall.)

TARGET SETTING

A – E (C – F)

: 3,000 mm (118.11 in)

Mark points “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”at the center of the lateral surface of each wheels.

NOTE:

Hang a string with a cone from the fender so as to pass through the center of wheel, and then mark a point at the center of the lateral surface of the wheel.
Draw line “LH” passing through points “A” and “B” on the left side of Nissan Pathfinder vehicle.

NOTE:

Approximately 4 m (13.12 ft) or more from the front end of Nissan Pathfinder vehicle.
Mark point “E” on the line “LH” at the positions 3,000 mm (118.11 in) from point “A”.
Draw line “RH” passing through points “C” and “D” on the right side of Nissan Pathfinder vehicle in the same way as step 2.

NOTE:

Approximately 4 m (13.12 ft) or more from the front end of Nissan Pathfinder vehicle.
Mark point “F” on the line “RH” at the positions 3,000 mm (118.11 in) from point “C”.
Draw line “FW” passing through the points “E” and “F” on the front side of Nissan Pathfinder vehicle.
Mark point “X” at the center of point “E” and “F” on the line “FW”.

CAUTION:

Make sure that “E” to “X” is equal to “F” to “X”.

Center the J-52266-2 alignment target at point "X" facing the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle.

Dt	: 3,000 mm (118.11 in)

Proceed to Camera Aiming Adjustment.

Camera Aiming Adjustment

CAUTION:

Perform the adjustment under unloaded vehicle condition.

CHECK VEHICLE HEIGHT

Measure the wheelarch height.


	Hfl: Front left wheelarch height [mm]
	Hfr: Front right wheelarch height [mm]

CAUTION:

Be sure to measure wheelarch height correctly.
