Today, most newer vehicles come with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) as standard features. That means more opportunities—and more challenges—for collision repair shops. These ADAS systems need to be calibrated with precision to function properly, especially after common repairs like replacing a bumper, installing a new windshield, or working on the suspension. Even a small misalignment can affect important safety features like “lane keep” or “emergency braking.”
ADAS systems depend on precise input from cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors to accurately monitor a vehicle’s surroundings and enable key safety features.
Even slight sensor misalignments can lead to serious consequences, such as:
- False alerts or warnings
- Malfunctioning or disabled safety systems
- Increased risk of accidents
Did you know that a 1-degree calibration error can result in a 2.6-foot deviation at 150 feet? This can mean the difference between hitting an object (or person) and not.
Proper calibration helps prevent these issues and protects repair shops from potential liability. It ensures vehicles are returned to their original specifications, building trust with customers and insurers.
