In today’s vehicles, technology does more than just play music or show directions—it helps keep us safe. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking rely on precise sensors, cameras, and radar to function correctly. But what happens when your car is in an accident or even just gets a windshield replaced?
That’s where ADAS calibration comes in.
What is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS calibration is the process of realigning a vehicle’s cameras, sensors, and radar systems to ensure they function as intended by the manufacturer. It’s a technical and precise process that often requires specialized equipment and software.
Why It Matters
- Safety First: If a sensor or camera is just a few degrees off, it can result in false warnings—or worse, missed ones.
- Insurance Compliance: Many insurers now require calibration after specific repairs or replacements.
- OEM Requirements: Car manufacturers outline exact specs for sensor placement. Skipping calibration could void warranties.
- Legal Risk: Improper calibration can lead to accidents and liability issues.
