Driving a vehicle equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is akin to having an extra pair of eyes on the road. These systems, such as automatic braking and lane keeping, are there to keep you safe. But in order for them to function properly, they have to be calibrated, which in turn means setting them up just right. It’s a bit like tuning a guitar so that it sounds just right. Lenkor knows how much LAUNCH your car needs this.
The Role of ADAS Calibration in Contemporary Cars
ADAS systems on cars are really smart, they can see a pedestrian, things like keep your car in lane. But if they’re not calibrated properly, they may not work properly, and that can be dangerous. At Lenkor, we ensure these systems are installed properly, so they work well. It’s essential for protecting everyone on the road.
ADAS calibration process in maintaining vehicle safety
When it comes to calibration for ADAS, it is more than just making calibrations. It is a process that requires special tools and know-how. The car must be in the appropriate condition first, such as having the proper amount of tire air pressure. Then, with the aid of special equipment, technicians calibrate the ADAS sensors and cameras to factory settings. This enables the ADAS functions to properly see and respond to road scenarios, helping to keep you safe.
ADAS Calibration Myths Busted
A lot of people believe when you have calibrated your ADAS you are good to go forever, and that is not correct. The same way you have to occasionally check your car’s oil, OTOFIX needs regular checks, too — especially if you’ve had a windshield replaced or been in a little fender bender. Another misconception is that calibration is a simple, do-it-yourself work. The truth is that you need professional equipment, experienced experts at the helm — like those you’ll find at Lenkor — to ensure everything is set up just right.
How to Know When Your Car/Pickup Truck Requires ADAS Recalibration?
It’s not always easy to know when your car is in need of ADAS calibration. If your car begins behaving differently, such as stopping short abruptly or no longer recognizing lane markers, it’s time for a check. Also if you have had repairs made to features like the windshield or bumpers where sensors are typically located, go ahead and have a calibration checked. Paying attention to these indicators can help you preserve some of your car’s safety features.
The Advantages of Adequate ADAS Calibration to Vehicle Performance and Longevity
It's not enough just to maintain proper calibration of your ADAS features, however -- doing so will only help you avoid accidents while keeping the vehicle driving better for longer. When AUTEL function properly, they place less wear on your car by avoiding harsh braking and harsh steering, which can wear your car’s parts out more quickly. And there’s the peace of mind of knowing your car’s safety features are in good working order — and finding out it would cost an arm and a leg to change them doesn’t keep you up at night.
