ADAS Calibration at CGE Garage in Dyce, Aberdeen

‘ADAS’ is an acronym for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and this is a collective term for the many driver convenience and safety aids that most people who drive modern vehicles take for granted.

Examples of these advanced driver assistance systems are:

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• All-Round Vision Camera
• Blind Spot Detection System
• Emergency Braking System
• Lane Assistance System
• Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) System
• Night Vision Assist
• Parking Assist
• Reversing Camera
• Traffic Sign Recognition System

The calibration aspect is the procedure of correctly setting each system for it to function correctly. Incorrect calibration could potentially present a safety risk to the vehicle’s occupants or other road users, so this procedure is critically important.

Because each of the above systems uses sensors or cameras, they all need to be individually calibrated, and this should be carried out every three years under normal incident-free use. If a vehicle has been involved in an incident, however minor, or had various parts replaced, then it is highly recommended that re-calibration is performed.

Examples of incidents or replacements:

• Bodywork repairs – even minor repairs like bumper removal or replacement
• Collision repairs (front or rear) – however minor
• Shock absorber or coil spring replacement
• Steering rack adjustment or replacement
• Track control arm adjustment or replacement
• Wheel alignment or axle geometry adjustment
• Windscreen replacement

With the highly sophisticated equipment required to carry out ADAS calibration, CGE Garage is well-placed to provide the full range of services.
