Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are the silent guardians of your driving safety. Features like automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, or lane-keeping assist have become essential elements to protect you and your loved ones on Utah’s roads. However, for these systems to function correctly, the precision of their cameras and sensors is absolutely vital.
At Prime Auto Glass, we understand the complexity and importance of your ADAS. We not only offer the highest quality glass replacement but are experts in urgent and precise ADAS calibration, ensuring your vehicle’s technology protects you as it should.
Why Your ADAS Might Need Urgent Calibration?
Although ADAS systems are robust, their accuracy is extremely sensitive to changes in their environment or in the vehicle itself. A minimal alteration can misalign their “eyes” (cameras) or “ears” (radar/ultrasound sensors), leading to incorrect data and, potentially, dangerous decisions.
The most common reasons your ADAS might need urgent calibration include:
- Windshield Replacement: The most frequent cause. ADAS cameras are mounted directly on the windshield. Even a perfect replacement requires recalibration.
- Wheel Alignment or Suspension Adjustments: Any adjustments to these components can alter the vehicle’s position and, therefore, the sensors’ viewing angle.
- Accident or Collision: Even a minor bump can misalign sensors.
- Major Body Repair: Especially if it affects the front or rear of the vehicle.
- Tire Replacement (to a different size): Can alter the vehicle’s height and angle.
- ADAS Fault Light On: If your vehicle warns you with a warning light, it’s a clear sign.
- Vehicle Battery Disconnection: Sometimes, a power cycle can require a system reset and calibration.
Clear Signs Your ADAS Needs Urgent Calibration
It’s crucial to be aware of any unusual behavior from your assistance systems. Here are the signs that you need urgent ADAS calibration:
- Inconsistent Automatic Braking: If your emergency braking activates without apparent reason, brakes late, or fails to activate when it should.
- Erratic Lane Keeping Assist: The vehicle drifts within the lane, fails to correctly detect lines, or gives false alerts.
- Inaccurate Adaptive Cruise Control: Does not maintain proper distance from the vehicle ahead, accelerates, or brakes unexpectedly.
- Failed Object Detection: The system does not correctly detect pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles.
- False or Constant Warnings: You receive too many alerts (e.g., imminent collision) when there is no real danger.
- Disoriented Automatic High Beams: The lights do not switch correctly or blind other drivers.
- ADAS Systems Deactivated or Showing Error: A dashboard message indicating that an ADAS system is unavailable or has an error.
