ADAS and Sensor Calibration

What is ADAS Calibration?

ADAS calibration makes sure the cameras and sensors on your vehicle are aimed in the right direction and working exactly as the manufacturer intended. These systems control important features like emergency braking, lane keeping, and adaptive cruise control. If the sensors are even slightly off, the systems may not warn you correctly or may not work when you need them most. ADAS calibration is needed after things like a windshield replacement, collision repair, suspension work, or wheel alignment. The calibration ensures your safety features are accurate and reliable. Because ADAS sensors require millimeter-level precision, proper calibration is essential for safety.

Downtown – 116 Street
North – 127 Street
Northeast – Fort Road

Why ADAS Sensor Calibration is Necessary

• Ensures Accuracy – Cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors must be precisely aligned to detect other vehicles, road hazards, and traffic signs. Any misaligned sensors could be hazardous to you and those around you.
• Prevents Malfunctions – Even small misalignments can cause false alerts, missed warnings, or failure of key safety features.
• Keeps Safety Features Reliable – Advanced systems like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and lane departure alert depend on accurate calibration to function as intended.
  Properly aligned sensors ensure that you and those around you stay safer on the road.

When Do You Need ADAS Calibration?

You should schedule an ADAS sensor calibration service after:

• Collisions – Even minor fender benders can disturb sensor alignment.
• Windshield Replacement – Cameras mounted on the windshield require recalibration after replacement.
• Suspension or Wheel Alignment Work – Adjustments can shift sensor angles.
• Tire Replacement – New tires can alter ride height and affect sensor accuracy.
