Adas Calibration Automatic Emergency Braking

ADAS Calibration for Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) in St Helens. Call 01744 808586

If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) or other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), it's crucial that these systems are calibrated correctly to ensure safety and performance. At Fastlane Autocare in St Helens, we provide professional ADAS calibration services for AEB systems, helping to keep your vehicle's safety features functioning optimally.

What is Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is a critical safety feature in modern vehicles, designed to detect an imminent collision and automatically apply the brakes to prevent or reduce the severity of an accident. It uses a combination of sensors, cameras, and radar to monitor the road ahead. If the system senses an obstacle or potential hazard, it can intervene by applying the brakes when the driver doesn’t react in time. A properly functioning AEB system relies heavily on accurate calibration, especially after repairs, windscreen replacements, or alignment work.

Why is ADAS Calibration Important for AEB?

ADAS calibration ensures that your vehicle’s Automatic Emergency Braking system is aligned with its sensors, cameras, and radar. If these components are even slightly misaligned, the AEB may not function as intended, potentially leading to unsafe driving conditions.

Common reasons why ADAS calibration is required for AEB systems include

• Windscreen Replacement: When your windscreen is replaced, the front-facing camera used for AEB may be disturbed and needs recalibration.

• Suspension or Alignment Adjustments: If your vehicle’s suspension or wheel alignment is altered, the AEB system may require recalibration to ensure proper functioning.

• Collision Repair: After any accident, even minor ones, the ADAS sensors and cameras can become misaligned.

• Tyre Changes: In some cases, even changing tyres can require ADAS recalibration, particularly if the new tyres alter the height or stance of the vehicle.

At Fastlane Autocare, our skilled technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your ADAS and AEB systems are calibrated correctly, helping you maintain the highest level of safety on the road.

How We Calibrate ADAS for AEB

FAQs About ADAS Calibration for AEB

Q - How often should my AEB system be calibrated?

A - AEB and other ADAS features should be calibrated whenever certain components of your vehicle, such as sensors or the windscreen, are replaced or realigned. Additionally, after any significant repairs or adjustments to the vehicle’s suspension or steering system, calibration is recommended.

Q - Can you calibrate the ADAS system on any vehicle?

A - Yes, at Fastlane Autocare, we can calibrate the ADAS system on most vehicle makes and models, including cars equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking, lane assist, and adaptive cruise control.

Q - What happens if I don’t get my AEB system calibrated?

A - If your AEB system is not properly calibrated, it may fail to detect potential hazards accurately, which could lead to unsafe driving conditions. The system may also produce false warnings or fail to intervene in an emergency situation.

Q - Do I need to recalibrate my AEB system after replacing the windscreen?

A - Yes, replacing the windscreen can disturb the front-facing camera that is crucial for AEB and other ADAS functions. Calibration is necessary to ensure that the camera and sensors are aligned properly with your vehicle’s trajectory.

Q - How long does the ADAS calibration process take?

A - The calibration process typically takes a few hours, depending on the make and model of your vehicle and the complexity of its ADAS systems. We aim to get your vehicle back to you as quickly as possible while ensuring that the calibration is done accurately.
