ADAS Recalibration Explained: Why Your Safety Depends on It

ADAS Recalibration

What Is ADAS?

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. It features like lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and collision warning. All these systems rely on precise sensors and cameras.

How ADAS Protects You

These systems reduce the risk of crashes by alerting you to hazards or even intervene when you don’t react in time. However, their accuracy depends entirely on correct sensor alignment.

Why Recalibration Is Critical

Even a minor collision, windscreen replacement, or bumper repair can misalign sensors. Without recalibration, your safety systems may give false warnings — or fail to respond when you need them most.

Real-World Risks of Skipping Recalibration

If sensors are off by just a few millimetres, your ADAS may misjudge distances, miss lane markings, or fail to trigger emergency braking. That puts both you and other road users at risk.

Manufacturer Requirements

Most car manufacturers require recalibration after any structural repair. It’s not optional. It’s all part of a safe, compliant repair.

Warranty and Insurance Implications

Failing to recalibrate ADAS can void your vehicle warranty or cause disputes in future insurance claims. That’s why proper recalibration is essential for both safety and compliance.
