Abstract
A device for aligning a directional antenna of a radar distance warning device of a vehicle has an alignment spotlight connected to the directional antenna to form a rigid unit adjustably mounted on the vehicle via an adjusting board. This rigid unit is aligned by aligning the optical axis of the light cone of the alignment spotlight with the aid of a vehicle-related optical verification device, particularly a headlight adjusting device. The alignment spotlight can be removable, or the vehicle headlight can be used for alignment.
