ADAS Calibration Services in Calgary
Today’s vehicles are packed with smart safety features like lane assist, collision warnings, and automatic braking. And they all rely on cameras and sensors being perfectly aligned. After a windshield replacement, the alignment can shift. At 5 Star Auto Glass in Calgary, our ADAS Calibration services will make sure your safety systems are properly calibrated so your vehicle protects you the way it’s meant to.
What ADAS Calibration Helps Correct
ADAS Calibration ensures your vehicle’s cameras and sensors work together exactly as intended. Without proper calibration, safety systems can respond too late, too early, or not at all — increasing the risk of accidents. Proper calibration helps your vehicle accurately detect lanes, vehicles, and obstacles, keeping your driver-assistance features reliable and effective on the road.
Calibration helps with:
- Lane assist systems accurately detect road markings
- Collision warnings trigger at the right time
- Emergency braking responds correctly
- Adaptive cruise control maintains a proper distance
What is ADAS?
ADAS is an acronym for Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. It enhances vehicles for safety and better driving.
ADAS relies on multiple data sources:
- Cameras
- Radar
- Lasers
- Ultra-Sonic
What is the difference between Dynamic and Static calibration?
Dynamic calibration is performed on the road and uses a hand held device that is plugged into the vehicle. It is then driven at a specifically prescribed speed and distance during appropriate weather conditions. Exposure to this testing will allow the system to become accustomed to the road, getting it to perform at it’s maximum potential.
Static calibration is performed in a workshop environment where the vehicle is parked. It will require highly sensitive equipment such as targets and lasers. Once everything is set up, our certified technicians proceed with entering data and it recalibrates itself to highest level.
