FAQs

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. These are safety features in modern vehicles that use sensors, cameras, and other technologies to assist drivers in avoiding collisions and maintaining control on the road. Examples of ADAS include lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking systems. So, regular calibration of these systems is crucial for their proper functioning and ensuring overall vehicle safety.

It is recommended to have ADAS systems calibrated whenever there is a change in vehicle alignment or after any repairs or replacements that may affect the sensors. Additionally, it is important to have ADAS calibration regularly as part of routine car servicing to ensure the ongoing accuracy and safety of these systems. This frequency may vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle, so it’s best to consult with a professional technician for personalized recommendations. Overall, regular calibration at least once a year is generally recommended for optimal performance and safety.

Yes, some Elite Garages branches now offer ADAS calibration services. Currently, Fareham, Salisbury and Southampton have the required specialised equipment to take care of your Advanced Driver Assistance Systems with more branches to follow.

It is not recommended to attempt calibrating your own ADAS systems. Calibration requires specialised equipment and expertise to ensure proper positioning and functionality of the sensors and cameras. Attempting to do it yourself can lead to incorrect calibration, which can compromise the safety features of your vehicle. It is best to leave ADAS calibration to professionals who have the necessary training and tools for precise calibration.
