First Claim
1. A method for adjusting or calibrating a vehicle surroundings sensor (15), comprising the following steps:
- Attach at least one target pair (20, 22) to the rear wheels (12, 14) of a motor vehicle (7);
Record the target pair (20, 22) using at least one measuring unit (32, 46) and determine the vehicle axis (64) from the recording;
Place at least one target (16, 18) in a known position relative to a vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment or calibration element (62);
Record the target (18) placed on the vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment or calibration element (62) using the at least one measuring unit (32, 46) and determine the angular position of the vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment or calibration element (62) relative to the vehicle axis (64);
Align the vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment or calibration element (62) relative to the vehicle axis (64); and
Adjust or calibrate the vehicle surroundings sensor (15) relative to the vehicle axis (64).
