About Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) & ADAS Calibration
ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, represents a suite of safety technologies designed to enhance driving safety and comfort. These systems, including Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), City Braking, and Parking Sensors, rely on sensors, cameras, and radars to detect and respond to potential hazards. ADAS calibration is the meticulous process of aligning and configuring these components to ensure they function accurately and meet manufacturer standards.
Precision Calibration
After accidents or vehicle modifications, ADAS calibration is like recalibrating your car's senses. It ensures safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warnings work accurately, even after changes like new tires, suspension adjustments, or adding bullbars.

FAQ
Below are some frequently asked questions about ADAS and ADAS calibration to help you better understand these important automotive technologies.
ADAS calibration is the process of aligning and configuring sensors and cameras in your vehicle to ensure that safety features like lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control work correctly. It's important because even minor changes to your vehicle can affect sensor alignment, leading to inaccurate readings and potential safety risks.
If you've had repairs or modifications done to your vehicle that could affect sensor alignment, such as windshield replacement or suspension work, it's a good idea to have your ADAS system calibrated. Signs that calibration may be needed include warning lights on your dashboard or ADAS features not working correctly.
ADAS calibration is typically recommended after any repairs or modifications that could affect sensor alignment. It's also a good idea to have your system checked regularly as part of your vehicle's maintenance schedule.
While it's possible to drive your car without ADAS calibration and you may never get a warning light, it's not recommended, as misaligned sensors can lead to inaccurate readings and potential safety risks. It's best to have your ADAS system calibrated as soon as possible after any repairs or modifications.
The time it takes to calibrate your ADAS system can vary depending on the complexity of your vehicle's system and the extent of the calibration needed. In general, calibration can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.
No, Not all auto repair shops are equipped to perform ADAS calibration. It's important to choose a reputable repairer that has the necessary equipment training and expertise to calibrate your vehicle's ADAS system according to manufacturer specifications.
