Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are designed to enhance vehicle safety by reducing human errors. These systems include features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot detection. However, for ADAS to function accurately, its sensors, cameras, and radar units must be precisely aligned. This is where ADAS calibration comes in.

ADAS calibration is the process of adjusting and aligning the cameras and sensors that support these safety features. This calibration ensures that the vehicle's systems can correctly interpret road conditions, detect obstacles, and respond accordingly. Any misalignment—even by a few degrees—can lead to incorrect warnings or malfunctions, increasing the risk of accidents.

When Is ADAS Calibration Needed?

ADAS calibration is necessary after various vehicle repairs or modifications, such as:

·         Windshield replacement, as cameras are often mounted behind the glass

·         Collision repairs that impact sensor positions

·         Suspension or wheel alignment adjustments

·         Software updates or electrical system repairs

Failing to recalibrate ADAS after such changes can result in unreliable system performance, compromising driver safety.

Why Is ADAS Calibration Crucial?

Incorrect calibration can lead to delayed responses, false alerts, or even a complete failure of safety features. For example, an improperly calibrated forward collision warning system might not detect an obstacle in time, increasing the likelihood of a crash. Proper calibration restores the intended functionality, ensuring that ADAS operates within manufacturer specifications.
