    ADAS Calibration: Why It's Essential After Windscreen or Body Repairs

    Solution Repair Group28 January 20254 min read

    What is ADAS?

    Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are electronic systems in modern vehicles that help drivers with safety and parking. These include:

    • Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
    • Lane Departure Warning
    • Adaptive Cruise Control
    • Blind Spot Detection
    • Parking Sensors and Cameras

    Why Calibration Matters

    Many ADAS sensors are located behind the windscreen or in body panels. When these areas are repaired or replaced, the sensors must be precisely recalibrated to function correctly.

    What Happens If ADAS Isn't Calibrated?

    Without proper calibration:

    • Emergency braking may not activate when needed
    • Lane keeping assistance could steer incorrectly
    • Collision warnings may give false alerts or none at all
    • Your vehicle may fail its MOT
