ADAS

Over 4-million Vehicles are now commonly fitted with a wide variety of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)*. To function, ADAS features rely on sensors that continuously and accurately monitor the environment around the vehicle, making these sensors an important part of any repair process.

The range of ADAS systems include:

AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING

TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

BLIND SPOT DETECTION

CROSS TRAFFIC DETECTION

REMOTE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST

ADAPTIVE HEADLAMPS

LANE KEEP ASSISTANCE

What does this mean to your business? Quite simply, if you have undertaken a repair to a vehicle that has ADAS installed due to a ‘bump’, no matter how small, the system must be recalibrated. This also applies to any key replaced parts such as steering, suspension, braking and even windscreens.
