The measurement sensor must be properly adjusted and attached to the vehicle; observe device manufacturer's operating instructions.

Make sure that the sliding plates and turn tables are not touching the end stop when checking the wheel alignment.

Drive the vehicle onto the alignment rack without tension. Move the vehicle back and forth if necessary to relieve any tension on the axle components.

The steering wheel must be "evened out" into the center position before beginning the measuring and adjusting. Use (VAS 6458) for this.
