  • What is ADAS and why does my car have it?

    ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are safety features designed to reduce accidents and potential legal issues. These systems help prevent collisions, such as rear-end accidents, thereby reducing the likelihood of lawsuits and improving overall road safety.
  • What ADAS features does my vehicle have?

    Common ADAS features include lane assistance, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. The specific features in your vehicle may vary depending on its make and model.
  • When does ADAS calibration need to be done?

    ADAS calibration is typically required after windshield replacement, collision repairs, suspension work, or wheel alignments. In some cases, even minor disturbances to the vehicle's sensors may necessitate recalibration.
  • What happens if ADAS isn't calibrated correctly?

    Improper ADAS calibration can lead to system malfunctions, posing significant safety risks. This can result in the systems not functioning as intended, potentially creating dangerous situations on the road and increasing liability for the vehicle owner.
  • How do I know if my ADAS system is malfunctioning?

    Signs of ADAS malfunction may include illuminated warning lights, unexpected braking, unintended lane drifting, false alerts, or a complete lack of alerts when they should occur. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to have your system checked promptly.
  • How long does ADAS calibration take?

    The duration of ADAS calibration can range from one to three hours, depending on the complexity of your vehicle's systems and the specific calibration requirements.
  • Can ADAS calibration be done anywhere?

    ADAS calibration requires specific conditions and equipment. It must be performed in a controlled environment with a level floor, precise measurements, appropriate lighting, and in accordance with manufacturer-specified procedures. This specialized process cannot be carried out in a typical driveway or garage setting.
