Hankook Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI)

[ThePenIsMightier]

I have tires with this V.A.I. system and I don't know how to use it. I've looked reasonably on Google & YouTube but I can't find anything that explains it. It looks like Continental has a VAI system as well but I doubt it's the same. So much of anything to do with Hankook isn't in English, either.
Can anyone help? Any tire experts that are familiar with Hankook VAI?

Video is for Conti's system, they have a better page here that outlines how the system works. Looks like Hankook only has the two dots on the shoulders, but it should work similarly.

The only tread wear indicator you need.

Yes, I had also found that video in even less than 30 seconds. I didn't post it because it's for (as mentioned in the original post) a different brand as well as focused on semi-tractor/trailer tires. I have neither of those things.
While Hankook is "two dots" they are slightly offset from each other and there appear to be additional pairs of dots that are a bit past the outer tread almost climbing up the sidewall.
Again, if there a member who sells or has experience with Hankook tires, I'd like to learn more.
Thanks!
