Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Calibration

ADAS is automated technology, including cameras and sensors, that can detect close obstacles or driver errors and help the vehicle respond accordingly. ADAS have been developed to aid vehicle technology for safer and better driving by adapting and enhancing the machinery.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems include:

• Automatic Parking/Park Assist
• Lane Assistance
• Navigation
• Blind Spot Detection
• Surround View
• Collision Warning
• Emergency Breaking
• Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Warning
• And more!

Why ADAS Calibration Services are Necessary

When a vehicle is manufactured, ADAS sensors and components are carefully installed and aligned to function optimally. However, various factors can impact the proper functioning of these systems, such as:

• Accidents or collisions: If a vehicle has been involved in an accident, even a minor one, the impact can affect the alignment of ADAS components. This misalignment can compromise the accuracy and effectiveness of these systems, resulting in false warnings or their complete failure.
• Component replacement: If any ADAS components need to be replaced, such as a camera or sensor, calibration is necessary afterward. This ensures that the newly installed component is precisely aligned, maintaining functionality.
• Wheel alignment: ADAS calibration services should be performed after a wheel alignment. Properly aligned wheels are crucial for the accurate functioning of systems, like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control. If the wheels are misaligned, the system may not accurately detect the vehicle's position on the road or maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. While some basic ADAS systems may be automatically recalibrated or self-calibrating, more advanced systems often require a specialized calibration procedure performed by trained technicians using specific tools and equipment. Once your car is in alignment again, it is recommended that the ADAS components are also checked and calibrated according to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Routine maintenance: Regular maintenance activities, like tire rotations and suspension adjustments can affect the alignment of ADAS components. Therefore, calibration after such maintenance procedures is recommended to maintain the systems' accuracy.
• Software updates: ADAS systems often rely on sophisticated software algorithms to interpret sensor data and make precise decisions. Software updates from the vehicle manufacturer may introduce improvements or new features. ADAS calibration ensures that these updated software algorithms are integrated and functioning correctly.

If you own a vehicle equipped with ADAS, maintaining regular calibrations is a wise decision. At David's Certified Auto Repair, we can assist with recalibrating your Advanced Drier Assistance Systems so they continue to aid you as intended.
