The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for adjusting the alignment of a beam characteristic of a distance sensor, in particular of a proximity radar for a motor vehicle. An apparatus for positioning a motor vehicle, preferably a headlight aiming device, is joined to the target object for the distance sensor. Also provided is a service unit with which measured values or data of the distance sensor can be read out. On the basis of at least one predefined criterion, the measured values or data are analyzed in such a way that necessary displacement directions of the distance sensor can be displayed by way of the service unit. Preferably the capability of the distance sensor to determine angular positions of detected target objects is utilized. Otherwise adjustment is performed to predefined reception levels.

1. A method for adjusting an alignment of a beam characteristic of a distance sensor, comprising the steps of:using a positioning apparatus, positioning at least one of a motor vehicle and a target object at a particular location to arrange a normal direction of the target object at a predetermined angle to one of a selected reference axis of the motor vehicle and a reference line of the motor vehicle, the target object being designed as a reflector and a reference target for the distance sensor, wherein the target object is coupled to the positioning apparatus which is one of a headlight aiming device and an axle alignment stand for the motor vehicle; utilizing a service unit which is used for outputting particular data of the distance sensor and displaying a particular direction, the particular direction being one of a displacement direction and an adjustment direction, wherein the particular direction is determined as a function of the particular data of the distance sensor and at least one predetermined analysis criterion; initiating the distance sensor; and displacing the alignment of the beam characteristic of the distance sensor in the particular direction.
