Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Did you know?
More than 4 million vehicles on the road today are fitted with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). That's over 10% of the car park! Thatcham Research has issued a position to enable the automotive industry to efficiently and safely repair ADAS:
If ADAS sensors, or parts that are in proximity to ADAS sensors, are included in a repair specification, calibration post repair must be completed to confirm sensors are functioning to the vehicle manufacturers' specified tolerances.
- Vehicle repairers should:
- Assess for the presence of ADAS sensors and record the outcome clearly.
- Research and seek guidance from relevant repair methods and calibration instructions.
- Ensure all calibration activities are completed by current competent technicians.
- Complete system calibrations in accordance with the relevant repair method / instruction.
- Be able to demonstrate that the calibration of all affected sensors has been completed and that the results of the calibration confirms functionality within the vehicle manufacturer's specified tolerance - unless stated otherwise in the repair specification.
- Where no specific repair guidance exists, and functionality cannot be proven through systemised calibration, then advice should be sought from the vehicle manufacturer's dealership network and appropriate action taken prior to vehicle release.
- If vehicle manufacturer information states dynamic calibration, this should be completed and confirmed prior to vehicle release.
Our Service & MOT garage, located in Portslade, offer ADAS Calibration from only £150.
