The Procedure Of Manual Tolerance Compensation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Kia K5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Prepare in advance as below.
- Confirm that the car hood, trunk and doors are closed.
- Close the door after getting in on the driver side.
- Engine running.
- Unfold both side mirrors.
- Shift the gear to N.
- Check the flashing state of LED indicator lamp in the SVM switch.
- During the advance preparation, do not install exhaust inhaler or other equipment that may block the view of rearview cameras.
- Also, as exhaust fume may block the rearview image, blow off the smoke by using a fan before performing tolerance compensation with engine running.
- Engage foot brake or electronic parking brake (EPB) to hold vehicle in place.
Before entering tolerance compensation mode, to check normal operation of SVM ECU and cameras, perform the following.
- Check that initial setting screen of SVM is displayed. (Front view image + surround view image when shifted to N)
- Check that front, rear, left and right images of surround view monitor are properly displayed.
- If images are properly displayed, enter tolerance compensation mode. Otherwise, if images are abnormally displayed or are not displayed, replace relevant part.

Install two compensation scales, two compensation reference line boards, and four compensation target boards around the vehicle by referring to the manual provided with the tools.

NOTE:

There are two types (Type A & B) and the base line should be matched to vehicle type.
Accurately set the location (distance/angle) of the center of white and black compensation board as this is the reference point.

Align the vehicle in a straight line and install the SVM ruler on the front and rear tires in the direction of the arrow.

The vehicle must be centered using the SVM rulers.

NOTE:

Be careful not to crease when installing the SVM ruler.
The measurements on both sides should be the same.

NOTE:

If a customer has replaced a tire of a different size from the other tires, SVM calibration may not be correct.
The dimensions of the front and rear tires may be different.

The SVM reference line should be installed according to the end point of SVM ruler.

NOTE:

Align the right-front wheel center of the tire with the base line on the SVM reference line.
There are two types (Type A & B) and the Base line should be matched to vehicle type.
Base line margin of error should be 3cm (1.1 in)

NOTE:

Install it in the same way on the left hand side.

After installation SVM rulers and SVM reference lines, measurement should be made to ensure that the left and right SVM reference line are installed parallel to each other.

NOTE:

As shown in the figure below, the distance between the left and the right Reference Line should be same.
The allowance distance range from left line and right line is 300 ± 1cm (118.1 ± 0.4in).

Install the SVM target on the SVM reference line.
NOTE:
- Keep the SVM reference line and target angle at 90°.
- Rotation error margin when aligning vehicle should be within 1° to left/right.

NOTE:

Do not store with SVM rulers SVM reference lines and the target point plates folded.
Clean any debris found on the SVM rulers, SVM reference lines or the target point before storing them in their container.
Roll the SVM ruler, SVM reference line, and SVM target into the enclosed cylindrical roll and store it in a dedicated storage bag.

Maintain engine running with vehicle stopped, check that the gear is in P, and engage parking brake even on flat ground.
Perform work with SVM switched "ON".
Connect the KDS to vehicle.
Select vehicle model and system.
Enter additional function in KDS.

Perform SVM manual tolerance compensation as shown on KDS diagnostic device.

Information

Before matching calibration points: "+" green light flashes
When clicking [OK] after matching calibration points: "+" red light ON

Match four frontal calibration points, and then perform calibration in the order from rear → left → right.

To confirm completion of calibration, check the vehicle and calibration line on AVN monitor and click [OK].
If calibration has not been properly performed, click [Cancel] and reenter calibration points.
