What is ADAS Calibration?

Static calibration uses targets in a workshop; dynamic calibration is done by driving. It is often needed after windscreen replacement, bumper repairs or alignment changes. Manufacturers specify the procedure. Calibration needs a level floor, enough space, correct tyre pressures and an empty car, so it is usually done in a workshop with dedicated equipment. The result is checked with the diagnostic tool.

How it works

The system learns its exact mounting position relative to the car's driving direction.

Why it matters for your car

Skipping calibration can make systems react wrongly. Ask for a calibration report after work.
