WHAT IS ADAS ?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are electronic systems that aid a vehicle’s driver while driving or during parking. These systems range from simple features like parking sensors and adaptive cruise control to more complex functionalities like automatic emergency braking or lane-keeping assistance.
HOW LONG IS A TYPICAL CALIBRATION.
Depending on the type, If all codes clear and no repairs are needed, you can expect 1-2 hours.
- An advanced understanding of all vehicle Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) current condition
- List of all ADAS on the vehicle – All ADAS with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) – Documentation of pre-existing conditions
- We will clear all codes before beginning the actual Calibration of a vehicle.
- If we cannot clear codes, we will work as your ally to correct any vehicle ADAS issues.
WHEN DO YOU NEED ADAS CALIBRATION ?
Many believe that ADAS calibration is necessary only after a collision or accident. While it's crucial post-accident, The sensors might need ADAS calibration after routine services like windshield replacements, wheel alignments, or suspension repairs. Any service that could disturb ADAS sensors' positioning or functioning might necessitate a recalibration.
DO MODIFIED VEHICLES NEED CALIBRATED ?
Owners who modify their vehicles – changing wheel size, suspension lifts or drops, or altering the vehicle’s body – should be aware that these modifications might affect ADAS functionality. In such cases, recalibration becomes essential to ensure the systems remain accurate and reliable.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF CALIBRATION ?
Calibration ensures that ADAS sensors and cameras are functioning correctly. After repairs, replacements, or any alterations to a vehicle, there might be slight shifts or misalignments in these systems. Calibration fine-tunes them, guaranteeing they work accurately and safely.
WHAT IS TYPES OF CALIBRATIONS ARE THERE ?
There are two types:
- Static -This involves using a specifically designed pattern or target placed at a precise distance from the vehicle. The vehicle remains stationary during the process.
- Dynamic - The vehicle is driven at specific speeds under conditions to calibrate its systems. Some ADAS components might require both types of calibration for the best accuracy
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINED TECHNICIANS ?
ADAS calibration is a precise process. The technicians carrying it out must be adequately trained and certified. They should be familiar with the calibration process and the specific requirements and nuances of various vehicle brands and models.
