ADAS CALIBRATION
What is Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are a set of electronic systems designed to assist drivers and enhance vehicle and road safety.
These systems utilize automated technology, including sensors and cameras, to detect nearby obstacles or driver errors and respond accordingly.
ADAS encompasses a wide range of safety features for vehicles, including:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keep Assist
- Adaptive Lighting
- Night Vision Cameras
- Blind Spot Detection
- Pedestrian Protection System
- Parking Assistance
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Rear Collision Warning
Why is (ADAS) Calibration necessary?
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration is necessary for several reasons:
1. Safety Assurance: After a windscreen replacement, calibration ensures that all ADAS features, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Adaptive Cruise Control, continue to function properly. This is crucial for maintaining vehicle and road safety.
2. Accuracy: The calibration process involves adjusting and testing the sensors and cameras that are integral to the ADAS system. This ensures that they are accurately detecting surrounding objects, vehicles, and road conditions. Proper calibration is essential for the reliable operation of ADAS features.
3. Preventing Compromised Functionality: Without calibration, the ADAS system may not function as intended. Misaligned sensors or cameras can lead to inaccurate readings and potentially compromise the effectiveness of safety features. Calibration helps prevent such issues and ensures that ADAS features operate at optimal levels.
In summary, ADAS calibration is essential for maintaining the safety and functionality of your vehicle's advanced safety features. It ensures that the sensors and cameras are accurately calibrated to detect potential hazards and assist the driver effectively.
How to check if your vehicle has a camera based ADAS system?
To determine if your vehicle is equipped with a camera-based ADAS system, you’ll see something like the photo below:
If your vehicle has a camera fitted to the center of the windscreen, it's likely part of the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) technology.
The number of cameras may vary depending on the specific safety features installed in your vehicle.
How much does ADAS calibration cost?
The standard price for ADAS calibration is $305.
However, please note that the final price may vary depending on the complexity of the recalibration process required for your vehicle's specific ADAS systems.
