A Little Chat on Advanced Driver Assistance
- January 7, 2020
Introducing Advanced Driver Assistance at Our Shop
In late 2019, we proudly became the home of the Autel system for Advanced Driver Assistance repairs in Springboro, OH, and the surrounding area. There is no other shop in a 50-mile radius that offers the technology we do, and I want to talk with you about it.
As adaptive driving systems are put on more and more cars, you may be wondering what that looks like in terms of repair. When should you be looking for this repair? What does this repair involve?
There are a lot of questions around this topic on the consumer end because all you were told is you had fancy safety features on your sweet new ride. What you weren’t told is when and how to care for them.
The Evolution of Adaptive Driving Systems
Adaptive driving systems came about as early as 2000 in the Cadillac Deville for night vision and the 2000 Toyota for dynamic laser cruise control. But in 2014, a change was made in the auto world, and all vehicles under 10,000 lbs. were required to have rearview cameras by 2018.
So by 2018, cars in production were using all sorts of varieties of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to make your vehicle more autonomous and less reliant on driver-delayed reactions in the event of an accident.
Some examples of ADAS features include:
- Park Assist
- Lane Departure Systems
- Collision Avoidance Systems
- Brake Assist
It’s pretty phenomenal what your vehicle is programmed to do if it’s been created in the last 2 to 3 years.
When You’ll Need ADAS Calibration
You may wonder when you will need this service. It really will come into play most if you have had some sort of body damage to your vehicle. You will most likely need ADAS calibration performed.
Here are common scenarios when ADAS calibration is required:
- If you have mirrors replaced or a windshield, you would need this service.
- If you have had to replace any of your bumpers or the hood/trunk of the vehicle, you would need this service.
- When you have suspension work done, the ADAS calibration will need to be redone.
- If you are replacing any modules, you will need calibration.
Much of this depends on whether your vehicle is offering some of these options. However, if you are in a 2017 or newer model, you certainly have at least one adaptive driving system.
How Long Does ADAS Calibration Take?
If you are wondering how long this service takes, it varies. It could be anywhere from 60-90 minutes up to 3 hours. The precision a technician needs to get the calibration correct is very detailed work, and you don’t want them rushing this process.
The adaptive driving systems are put in place for driver safety, and if the measurements on the targets and lasers aren’t accurate, the outcome could be bleak.
You are welcome to wait on this service, or we are happy to call you when the vehicle is ready for pick up.
