CONDITION
When used in conjunction with the Repair Manual, these Blind Spot Monitor, Forward Recognition
Camera, and Front Millimeter Wave Radar tips leverage SSTs and readily available tools to support
target placement in varying shop environments.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Creating the Centerline – Marking/securing the centerline of the vehicle is the first step to ensure
correct target placement.
A. Creating a Centerline Using a 90-degree Laser (for Blind Spot Monitor)
Hint: The vehicle centerline needs to extend past the rear of the vehicle for Blind Spot Monitor
procedures.
1. Hang a plumb bob from the vehicle’s
front emblem, per the Repair Manual
instructions, and mark the vehicle's front
center point on the ground.

2. Hang a plumb bob from the vehicle’s
rear emblem/center point, per the
Repair Manual instructions, and mark
the vehicle's rear center point on the
ground.
3. Place the 90-degree laser from the SST
kit (PN 00816-00103) approximately
one foot in front of the FRONT vehicle
centerline point so that the laser hits the
center line mark.
4. Place the laser target from the SST kit
(PN 00816-00103) on the REAR vehicle
centerline mark.
Hint: A solid object with a 90-degree
face can be used if the laser target is
not available.
5. Align the laser with both vehicle
centerline marks.

6. Remove the laser target at the rear of
the vehicle to extend the centerline far
enough to mark a perpendicular cross
line required for target placement. Refer
to the “Creating a Perpendicular Line”
section (Pg. 6) for more information.
Hint: This laser line can now be used as
the vehicle centerline.
B. Creating a Centerline Using a 90-Degree Laser (for Forward Recognition Camera and
Front Millimeter Wave Radar)
Hint: The vehicle centerline needs to extend past the front of the vehicle for Forward
Recognition and Front Millimeter Wave Radar procedures.

instructions, and mark the vehicle's front
center point on the ground.
2. Hang a plumb bob from the vehicle’s
rear emblem/center point, per the
Repair Manual instructions, and mark
the vehicle's rear center point on the

C. Creating a Centerline Using a String with Weight (All Systems)
1. Hang a plumb bob from the vehicle’s
front emblem, per the Repair Manual
instructions, and mark the vehicle's front
center point on the ground.
2. Hang a plumb bob from the vehicle’s
rear emblem/center point, per the
Repair Manual instructions, and mark
the vehicle's rear center point on the
ground.
3. Tie each end of a long string around
separate solid objects. Stretch the
string under the vehicle through both
center point marks far enough to mark
the perpendicular cross line required for
target placement. Refer to the
“Creating a Perpendicular Line”
section (Pg. 6) for more information.
Hint: This string line can now be used as

Creating a Perpendicular Crossline – Marking a perpendicular line off the vehicle centerline is the
next step to ensure correct target placement.
A. Creating a Perpendicular Crossline with a 90-Degree Laser (Forward Recognition
Camera and Blind Spot Monitor)
1. Mark the vehicle centerline.
Hint: Refer to “Creating the Centerline” (Pg. 1) or applicable Repair Manual.
2. Use the Blind Spot Monitor
Calculator, Forward Recognition
Camera Calculator (located in “Linked
References” on Pg. 12) or the Repair
Manual for this measurement. Mark the
point on the vehicle centerline where
the perpendicular crossline will
intersect.
Hint: The example photo is displaying
the perpendicular crossline point in the
rear of the vehicle for Blind Spot
Monitor, but this tip can also be used for
Forward Recognition Camera, where
this point will be at the front of the
vehicle.

3. Place the 90-degree laser from the SST
kit (PN 00816-00103) over the
perpendicular line mark on the vehicle
centerline.
4. Place the laser target from the SST kit
(PN 00816-00103) on the vehicle’s
marked center point farthest from the
90-degree laser.
Hint: For Blind Spot Monitor (shown),
place laser target on the vehicle’s front
centerline point. For Forward
Recognition Camera, place the laser
target on the vehicle’s rear centerline
point.

5. Create a laser line that intersects both
vehicle centerline points by using the
90-degree laser and the laser target
from the SST kit.
6. Create the perpendicular line using the
90-degree laser.
7. Refer to the Blind Spot Monitor
Calculator, Forward Recognition
Camera Calculator, or the applicable
Repair Manual for this measurement.
On the perpendicular crossline, mark
the distance away from the vehicle
centerline where the target/marker will
be placed.
Hint: As an alternative measuring
method, use the laser distance
measurer from the SST kit (PN 0081600103).
8. Without moving the base, rotate the laser 90 degrees counter-clockwise to extend your
perpendicular line towards the opposite target/marker, then repeat Step 7.

B. Creating a Perpendicular Crossline with a Carpenters Square (for Forward Recognition
Camera)
1. Mark the vehicle centerline.
Hint: Refer to “Creating the Centerline” (Pg. 1) or applicable Repair Manual.
2. Open Forward Recognition Camera Calculator (located in “Linked References” on Pg.
12). Use this calculator to determine the point on the vehicle centerline where the
