ADAS Calibration Services at Andover Tyre & Auto Services
At Andover Tyre & Auto Services, we are committed to ensuring your vehicle’s safety and performance. We are proud to offer Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration services, essential for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of your vehicle’s safety features.
What is ADAS?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) encompass a range of technologies designed to enhance driver safety and comfort. These systems monitor various aspects of your vehicle’s surroundings and driving conditions, providing alerts or taking automatic actions to prevent accidents.
Key ADAS Features
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a set speed while adjusting to the flow of traffic.
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Detects potential collisions and applies brakes automatically to prevent or mitigate impact.
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Alerts the driver if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
- Blind Spot Detection: Warns of vehicles in adjacent lanes that may not be visible in your mirrors.
- Traffic Sign Recognition: Identifies and displays road signs, such as speed limits, to keep you informed.
Why is ADAS Calibration Important?
The effectiveness of ADAS relies on precise calibration of its sensors and cameras. Misaligned sensors can lead to inaccurate readings, compromising the functionality of safety features. Calibration is crucial in the following situations:
- Windscreen Replacement: Replacing the windscreen can disturb forward-facing cameras, necessitating recalibration.
- Collision Repairs: Accidents may alter sensor positions, affecting system accuracy.
- Suspension or Wheel Alignment Work: Adjustments to suspension or alignment can impact sensor orientation.
- Fault Indicators: Dashboard warnings related to ADAS functions indicate the need for calibration.
Our ADAS Calibration Services
At Andover Tyre & Auto Services, we provide comprehensive ADAS calibration services to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems operate correctly:
- Static Calibration: Performed in our workshop with specialised equipment, this method adjusts sensors while the vehicle is stationary.
- Dynamic Calibration: Involves real-world driving conditions where sensors self-calibrate based on data gathered during the drive.
Our technicians are trained in the latest ADAS technologies and use state-of-the-art equipment to deliver precise calibration, ensuring your vehicle’s safety features function as intended.
