Front radar sensor
A front radar sensor from Continental is installed in the Polo for the area monitoring system and ACC. In the past,
pedestrian detection could only be reliably guaranteed when a radar sensor and front camera were combined.
The radar sensor can now detect pedestrians on its own. This has been achieved through faster processor speeds,
improved detection, evaluation and differentiation between individual objects. The accuracy has also improved
significantly. The radar sensor can be calibrated statically and also dynamically.

Static calibration:
The static calibration on the wheel alignment stand
is carried out using the vehicle diagnostic tester and
the corresponding test program. The radar sensor is
calibrated using a calibration board VAS 6430/10
that is aligned with the driving axis.
Dynamic calibration:
The radar sensor is calibrated automatically during a
calibration drive. The dynamic calibration is
performed during a calibration drive lasting a
maximum of 10 minutes.

Please refer to the Workshop Manual and
the test plan in the vehicle diagnostic
tester for information on calibration.
You will find further information on static
and dynamic calibration under
Volkswagen TV “Tiguan 2017 –
Calibration of adaptive cruise control”
from 20 January 2017.
