Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Calibration

ADAS are like your vehicle's built-in co-pilot, using smart technology to make driving safer and more convenient. Technically speaking, ADAS are a set of innovative technologies and features integrated into modern vehicles to enhance driver safety, improve driving convenience, and reduce the risk of accidents. These systems utilize sensors, cameras and radar to monitor the vehicle's surroundings and assist the driver. ADAS functions include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and more, with the goal of making driving safer.

Bosch Auto Service has a deep history in ADAS. Utilizing tools, techniques and technology created by Bosch. Our ADAS procedures are the same utilized by leading vehicle manufacturers. Making each Bosch Auto Service capable of high-quality repairs.

Do You Need ADAS Calibration?

ADAS won’t always give you a notification when something goes wrong. Usually, you can tell there’s an issue with your ADAS when certain sensors you rely on stop working or become uncalibrated. Since, ADAS relies on an integrated network of technologies, malfunctions in one component, can potentially affect the overall functionality of the system. Therefore, an ADAS system that is failing should be addressed promptly to ensureX all systems are functioning correctly.

ADAS Calibration and Services

Bosch Auto Service ADAS calibration and ADAS repair

Back Up Camera Repair and Installation

If your backup or reverse camera is not working, foggy or flickering it’s time to have your back up camera serviced, since prompt attention to backup camera issues ensures the continued effectiveness of safety features your ADAS offers.

Signs your back up camera needs to be repaired:

Having line or grid issues
Blurry or fuzzy display
Back up camera not switching on automatically
Condensation in the backup camera

Parking Sensor Installation & Calibration

Parking sensors, typically located in the front and rear bumpers of a vehicle, use ultrasonic or electromagnetic technology to detect obstacles in the vehicle's proximity. When an obstacle is detected, the system provides audible or visual alerts to the driver, helping to prevent collisions during parking.

Common issues we help resolve are:

Parking sensors not beeping
Parking sensors showing an error or fault message
Parking sensors constantly beeping

Car Proximity Sensor Calibration

Current vehicles are equipped with numerous proximity sensors. While many of the proximity sensors deal with parking, two of the essential non-parking functions are collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control (ACC).

Both collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control work by detecting the proximity of vehicles around you and modulating your car's speed. If your proximity sensors are giving you false alarms, or your adaptive cruise control is not working. You should have your proximity sensors calibrated.

Windshield Calibrations

Modern vehicles often incorporate windshield sensors capable of detecting rain allowing for automatic adjustments to the wipers' speed. Surprisingly, the windshield can be a crucial element in the calibration of various ADAS systems. If you are having issues with your Lane keep assist, collision avoidance or adaptive cruise control you may need to bring your vehicle in for a windshield calibration.

When do my ADAS sensors need recalibrating?

ADAS incorporates sensors and radar systems distributed across various areas of your vehicle. During specific service procedures, these sensors may become desynchronized and require recalibration. Services such as the following can contribute to sensor desynchronization:

Services that could lead to recalibration include: Windscreen Replacement, Suspension Work, Headlight Replacement, Bumper/Bodywork Repair, and Wheel Alignment Work.

You may also notice your ADAS failing if the cameras become disconnected due to maintenance work or rough driving terrain.

How long does ADAS calibration take?

The duration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration can vary depending on several factors, including the specific systems involved, the make and model of the vehicle, and the equipment used by the service provider. In general, ADAS calibration can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. Calibration may be required after certain events, such as windshield replacement, suspension repairs, or any work that affects the vehicle's alignment. It's important to consult with the service provider or technician performing the calibration for a more accurate estimate based on your vehicle's specific requirements.

It’s important to keep in mind that not every repair shop will have an ADAS calibration machine, so be sure to contact your local Bosch Auto Service ahead of time to see if ADAS services are offered.
