Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: Enhancing Your Safety on the Road

ATS Euromaster offer professional ADAS calibration services. In this section, we will explore what ADAS is, the importance of calibration, and when calibration is necessary to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What is ADAS?

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. These systems are designed to increase driver safety by utilizing advanced technologies to assist and enhance your driving experience. While some ADAS features, such as parking sensors, reversing cameras, ABS brakes, and cruise control, have been around for years, recent advancements have introduced more sophisticated and proactive safety measures.

The Role of ADAS Systems

Modern ADAS systems go beyond passive assistance. They employ a combination of radar sensors and cameras to make real-time adjustments on behalf of the driver. These intelligent systems include features such as autonomous emergency braking, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and adaptive lighting. By analysing the surroundings and potential hazards, ADAS systems contribute to accident prevention and overall road safety.

The Significance of ADAS Calibration

ADAS calibration is a crucial process that ensures the proper calibration of cameras and sensors used by these systems. By calibrating the components according to the manufacturer's specifications, the vehicle gains a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, allowing ADAS systems to function optimally. Calibration is essential to maintain the accuracy and reliability of ADAS features.

Types of ADAS Calibration

There are two types of ADAS calibration commonly used by vehicle manufacturers: Static and Dynamic calibration.

Static ADAS Calibration: Static calibration involves calibrating ADAS features in a controlled workshop environment, without requiring the vehicle to be driven. Sensitive and specialist equipment, such as a Camera and Sensor Calibration (CSC) Tool, is used to ensure precise alignment.
Dynamic ADAS Calibration: Dynamic calibration, also known as Mobile ADAS Calibration, is performed by connecting a handheld unit directly to the vehicle. The vehicle must then be driven at a manufacturer-prescribed speed over a set distance under optimum weather conditions. This process allows the ADAS system to familiarize itself with the road conditions it will encounter, ensuring accurate responses to unexpected situations.

When Should ADAS be Calibrated?

ADAS calibration is necessary in various circumstances to maintain the integrity and functionality of the systems. Here are some instances when calibration is recommended:

Windscreen replacement
Disconnection of the ADAS camera
Faulty ADAS sensors
Repair or replacement of suspension parts
Front bodywork repairs
Completion of a full wheel alignment
Airbag deployment
Steering and suspension modifications
Removal or replacement of sensors and brackets
Headlamp alignment (for vehicles with adaptive light systems)

ATS ADAS Calibration Services

At ATS Euromaster, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive ADAS calibration services tailored to your vehicle's needs. We recommend recalibration is carried out by service centres that are trained and equipped to do this. Please refer to the Centre pages to find out which of our Centres are offering this service.

Here's what you can expect when you choose ATS for ADAS calibration:

Dynamic and Static Calibrations:
We offer both dynamic and static ADAS calibrations to accommodate different vehicle requirements. Dynamic calibration involves driving the vehicle at a manufacturer-prescribed speed over a set distance, while static calibration is performed in a controlled workshop environment without driving the vehicle.
Separate Calibrations for Front-Facing Radar and Cameras:
We provide separate calibrations for front-facing radar and cameras. This flexibility allows you to choose to calibrate the affected sensors or camera only if needed. However, we highly recommend getting both done together as a bundle to ensure that all the ADAS systems are calibrated correctly. By bundling the calibrations, you not only ensure the safety of your vehicle but also benefit from cost savings with our bundle discount.
Bosch ADAS and Diagnostic Equipment:
We utilize Bosch ADAS and diagnostic equipment for our calibration services. Bosch is a leading brand known for its advanced technology and reliable calibration solutions. With our equipment, we can cover the majority of the UK carpark, providing efficient and accurate calibration for various vehicle makes and models.
Four Wheel Alignment Check:
We understand that proper wheel alignment is essential for the accurate functioning of ADAS systems. That's why we emphasize the importance of checking and correcting four-wheel alignment before ADAS calibration. If the wheels are not aligned correctly, the vehicle may not be traveling where the electronics expect it to, potentially causing dashboard warning lights to illuminate or the ADAS systems to fail when needed.
