WHAT IS ADAS CALIBRATION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
ADAS-Calibration (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Calibration) ensures that your vehicle’s safety systems — including lane assist, emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control — function accurately after repairs, windscreen replacements, or collisions. If not calibrated properly, these features may fail or give incorrect alerts, putting safety at risk. ADAS systems rely on precise sensor alignment, making recalibration essential for proper operation and legal compliance.
STATIC VS DYNAMIC ADAS CALIBRATION METHODS
Depending on your vehicle make and model, ADAS-Calibration can be either static or dynamic. Static calibration is carried out while the vehicle is stationary in a controlled environment using cameras and alignment tools. It involves wheel alignment and sensor positioning using diagnostic equipment. Dynamic calibration, on the other hand, is performed on the road while the vehicle is in motion. This method requires technicians to drive the car at a consistent speed on straight roads until the system calibrates itself. Both methods ensure the sensors and cameras are aligned correctly.
ADAS FEATURES THAT REQUIRE RECALIBRATION
Many common driver assistance systems depend on accurate ADAS calibration. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Road Sign Recognition, and Blind Spot Detection. These features rely on sensors like LiDAR, radar, and cameras, all of which need to be recalibrated after any structural change to the vehicle — such as wheel alignment, suspension work, or windscreen replacement. Neglecting calibration can result in system malfunctions, increased accident risk, and potential insurance issues.
TRUSTED ADAS CALIBRATION SERVICES
Our expert technicians are trained to recalibrate a wide range of ADAS systems using manufacturer-approved methods.
