Stereo Camera: Installation

CAUTION:

Do not remove the protective cover until just before installing the stereo camera cover assembly. Using the bolt and nut, install the stereo camera with the protective cover attached, connect the connectors, and then remove the protective cover.
During installation, do not hold at the left and right cameras.
Do not change the installation position of the stereo camera or do not modify the surrounding structure.
Remove the protective cover, install the stereo camera cover assembly, and then perform adjustment and inspection of the stereo camera. Ref. to EYESIGHT>CAMERA ADJUSTMENT, INSPECTION .
Do not touch the lens filter on the stereo camera. If touched, replace the stereo camera.
Do not apply any impact to the stereo camera. Even the slightest shock will deviate the optical axis of the camera, resulting in the loss of normal operation of the camera.
Avoid hitting the stereo camera cover assembly. Hitting may apply impact to the stereo camera.
When installing the stereo camera cover assembly, cover with dust-free paper such as copy paper to avoid interference with the lens filter section, and attach the paper using tape while being careful not to let the adhesive surface contact the glass surface. Be sure to remove the paper after the procedure. Also, do not put your hand on the polyurethane section of the windshield contact surface. Doing so may cause the polyurethane section to be removed, which may interfere with the normal operation if it hangs down in front of the lens filter section.
When installing the stereo camera cover assembly, take care so that the harness or other similar parts do not interfere with the stereo camera or do not get caught.
Do not allow the stereo camera cover assembly to come in contact with the stereo camera. Install the stereo camera cover assembly precisely so that it will not block the visibility of the camera.
Because the stereo camera is incompatible, be sure to check the part number before installation.
