If final bearing increases on the CV-2 approach, intercept the new final bearing prior to the which DME fix?

When the final approach bearing increases, you must reestablish on the updated final bearing as early as possible so you’re established on the final segment before you reach the final approach fix. For the CV-2 approach this means intercepting the new final bearing prior to the 10-mile DME fix. Intercepting earlier than that would be unnecessary, and waiting until after you reach 10 miles could leave too little room to align and descend safely on the final approach path. So the correct point to intercept is before the 10-mile DME fix.
