Foreword
Audi vehicles are built and repair methods are continually developed/revised according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To ensure the safety of our customers and to maintain vehicle integrity it is therefore
recommended that only parts identified as Genuine Audi Parts are used as replacement parts.
To ensure any Advanced Driver Assistance Systems operate as intended, providing safety benefits to the vehicle
occupants and its surroundings, following repair work it is also recommended that all required systems and
sensors are calibrated by an Authorised Audi Dealer.
The following pages refer to the most common currently available ADAS, these systems and requirements are
constantly changing, it is therefore imperative that ElsaPro is consulted and followed as part of every vehicle
repair.

Tooling
› Lifting platform for wheel alignment.

› Wheel alignment computer.
› Lane change and reverse camera calibration board.
› Calibration device for ACC, lane assist, night vision.
› Doppler generator for lane assist calibration
› Calibration mats for 360° camera
› Head up display setting tool
› Diagnostic tester.
› LED MATRIX headlight setting device

Training
The following Audi face-to-face training is required

to correctly calibrate the assistance systems to the
manufactures specification:
› M2 - ODIS and Elsa Pro (3 Days)

› M5 - Basic electrical (3 Days)
› M17 - Data Bus systems (2 Days)
› M12 - Wheel alignment and assistance systems
(3 Days)
Total training package 11 Days
If calibration is carried out outside of the Audi

Service Centre Network no liability can be
assumed for the correct system functionality.

Calibration requirements
Parking aid sensors - No Calibration required

As well as parking assistance the sensor are also used by the
ACC System and Audi Prese Sense AEB systems.
Up to 12 sensors can be fitted. The rubber damping element
must be fitted and paint thickness must not exceed 150µ.
Rain and light sensor - No calibration required

Used for auto headlights and auto wipers function.
Silicone pad between the screen and sensor must be replace
once removed, if not the auto light and rain sensor can
malfunction.
7
Front Camera for Assistance systems
The Camera is used for ACC, Audi Pre sense, Traffic sign
recognition, Main beam assist or Matrix LEDs and Audi active
lane assist.
Check if the vehicle is fitted with a Front Camera by a visual

inspection or via a VIN request (vehicle data).
The silicone pad between the screen and sensor must be
replaced once removed.
Calibration is required:
› If the sensor has been replaced or R+R from their original
fixing position.
› If the windscreen has been replaced or R+R from the original
position.
› If the rear axle toe setting has been changed.
› The fault “No or incorrect basic setting / adaption” is
registered in the event memory.
8
ACC Radar(s)
The ACC sensors are used for ACC, ACC with Stop and GO (traffic
jam assist) and Audi Pre sense Front (AEB)
Check if the vehicle is fitted with Radar(s) by a visual inspection

or VIN request (vehicle data).
Depending on vehicle model 1 or 2 sensors can be fitted, the

sensors can either be fitted to the bumper cover or the front
impact member.
› If the Radar(s) have been replaced or R+R from their original
fixing position. This includes models where the Radar(s) are
fitted on the front bar. If the front bar has been R+R the
system will require calibration.
› Wheel alignment has been carried
9
Laser distance control
The laser sensor is used for, Cruise control in free flow of traffic,
ACC stop & go including start-off monitoring, Distance indicator
/ distance warning, Boost function, Overtake assistance, Side
assist, Overtake prevention in right lane, Traffic jam assist, Audi
pre sense front (AEB), Evasion assist and Turn-off assist.
Check if the vehicle is fitted with a Laser sensor by a visual
inspection or VIN request (vehicle data).
› If the Laser has been replaced or R+R from their original
fixing position. This includes models where the Laser is fitted
on the front bar. If the front bar has been R+R the system
will require calibration.
› Wheel alignment has been carried out.
10
Lane Assist Radars
The sensors are used for Audi Lane Assist, Audi Pre Sense Rear and Audi Cross
Traffic assist.
A distinctive indication that the vehicle is fitted with lane change assist are the
warning lights in the exterior mirrors (2) or VIN request (vehicle data).
2 radars are fitted and could be mounted on the bumper cover or body.
No plastic repair work or filler on the bumper cover within 25cm of the sensors.
Maximum paint thickness in the area of the sensors must be adhered to (150u)
› If the sensor(s) have been replaced or R+R from there original fixing position.
This includes models were the sensors are fitted on the rear bar. If the rear bar
has been R+R the system will require calibration.
› If the rear bumper cover has been damaged, for instance when parking the car.
› Wheel alignment has been carried out.
› The fault “No or incorrect basic setting / adaption” is registered in the event
memory.
11
Reverse Camera and 360° Camera(s)
The camera(s) are used for rear parking aid and 360°
camera.
Check if the vehicle is fitted with a camera(s) by a
visual inspection or VIN request (vehicle data) number
of cameras can very.
› If any camera has been removed or renewed.
› If the bumper, radiator grille or wing mirror has
been removed or renewed
› The fault “No or incorrect basic setting / adaption”
is registered in the event memory.
12
Infrared Camera
The camera is used for night vision and recognition of

pedestrians, cyclists and animals.
Check if the vehicle is fitted with a Infrared Camera by a visual
› If the camera has been removed or renewed
› If the bumper or radiator grille has been removed or renewed
13
Head Up Display
Displays Speed, ACC setting, Navigation ques and other

information depending on model.
Check if the vehicle is fitted with a Head Up Display by a visual
› If the control unit for head-up display -J898- has been
renewed.
› If the windscreen has been removed and installed
› If the event memory contains the entry “no or incorrect basic
setting/adaption”.

LED Matrix headlights

The headlights perform the following functions, LED main beam
assist, Pedestrian marker light, individual light segments to be
switched on and off independently of one another.
Check if the vehicle is fitted with a LED Matrix headlights by a
visual inspection or via a VIN request (vehicle data).
› If the position of the headlights has been adjusted (i.e. if they
have been removed/installed or if securing bolts have been
