Zusammenfassung:A vehicle is provided with a forward-looking radar (FLR) assembly. The assembly includes a radar module mounted to a bracket or frame of the vehicle. Because precision in the angular positioning of the radar is desirable, the radar module is designed such that its vertical angular orientation can be adjustable. An adjustment screw connects the radar module and the bracket. The adjustment screw is provided with a plurality of annular flat engagement surfaces between the radar module and the bracket. Rotation of the engagement surfaces rotates the adjustment screw, causing the radar module to angularly adjust relative to the bracket. The engagement surfaces being between the radar module and the bracket allow for adjustment of the adjustment screw from its side in addition to its end surfaces.
