VERTICAL AIMING AND ADJUSTING

The virtual image should be aligned vertically so that the horizon appears in the lower one-half to one-third of the combiner. Keeping the image at this adjustment should provide a view of the road when the vehicle is driven up and down hills.

The vertical aiming adjusters can accommodate approximately ±4 degrees of movement. If the IR camera needs more than 4 degrees of vertical movement the IR camera bracket will need to be adjusted. Before changing the vertical aiming adjuster, make sure the 5/16 bolts of the IR camera bracket are tightened to 90-100 in.-lbs.

1.Using Figures 39 - 42 and a T15 Torx wrench, adjust the angle of the IR camera as needed.

NOTE: Two turns of the vertical adjuster is equal to one degree of IR camera movement.

NOTE: It is recommended that the IR camera adjusters be aimed to view approximately 200 ft (61m) in front of the vehicle. Any thermal objects closer than 200 feet will already be illuminated by the low beam headlamps.
