At Car Key, we take safety seriously, especially when it comes to the advanced technologies in modern vehicles. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are designed to assist drivers and improve safety on the road. These systems include features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking. It is essential that these systems are properly calibrated to ensure they function properly.
What is ADAS?
ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, is a collective name for technologies that help drivers while driving and parking. These systems use sensors, cameras and other technologies to detect and respond to obstacles and potential dangers. ADAS contributes to road safety by minimizing human error, which helps to reduce the number of traffic accidents.
Why is Calibration So Important?
Calibrating ADAS systems is crucial because even small deviations in sensors or cameras can have major consequences for the system's operation. Incorrect calibration can lead to incorrect measurements, false warnings and even system failure in critical situations. This can result in unsafe driving conditions for both the driver and other road users.
When is Calibration Necessary?
Calibration of ADAS systems is necessary in various situations:
- Replacing ADAS sensors: When a camera, radar or other sensor is replaced, the system must be recalibrated to ensure it functions properly.
- After repairs: If repairs have been made that affect the ADAS system, such as replacing a windshield or bumper, calibration is required.
- After an accident: When a vehicle has been involved in an accident, the position or orientation of the ADAS components may change, requiring calibration.
- In case of error messages: If the ADAS system gives an error message, calibration may be necessary to resolve the problem.
- Periodic check: It is recommended to have the ADAS system checked at least once a year and calibrated if necessary. This helps to detect and correct problems at an early stage.
Different Types of ADAS We Calibrate
At Car Key we can calibrate various ADAS systems, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Radar and LiDaR
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
- Rearview Camera
- Surround View System
- Night Vision
Our Working Method
At Car Key, we don’t just erase error codes or turn off malfunction lights without solving the underlying problem. We believe in thorough, correct calibration according to the manufacturer’s service procedures, so that every vehicle can be safely back on the road. Our motto is: “Erase is not calibrated.”
