ADAS Calibration in Sydney

ADAS Calibration Services in Bankstown

Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that rely on cameras and sensors mounted to your windscreen. After windscreen replacement, these systems require precise ADAS calibration to function correctly and keep you safe.

What Is ADAS?

ADAS encompasses a range of safety features that assist drivers and help prevent accidents:

• Lane Departure Warning: Alerts you when drifting out of your lane
• Lane Keep Assist: Actively steers to keep you in lane
• Forward Collision Warning: Warns of potential frontal impacts
• Automatic Emergency Braking: Applies brakes to prevent collisions
• Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains safe following distance
• Traffic Sign Recognition: Identifies and displays speed limits
• Pedestrian Detection: Recognises pedestrians in your path

These features rely on cameras typically mounted behind the rear-view mirror and sensors positioned around the vehicle.

Why Calibration Is Essential

When your windscreen is replaced, the forward-facing camera is removed and refitted. Even a tiny misalignment can cause significant problems:

• Incorrect warnings: False alarms or missed hazards
• System failures: Features may stop working entirely
• Warning lights: Dashboard alerts that won’t clear
• Safety risks: Systems may react incorrectly in emergencies

Proper windscreen camera recalibration ensures your ADAS features work exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Types of ADAS Calibration

Static Calibration: Performed at our Bankstown workshop using targets positioned at precise distances from the vehicle. Required for most camera-based systems.

Dynamic Calibration: Completed by driving the vehicle on suitable roads while onboard systems recalibrate. Some vehicles require this in addition to static calibration.

Most vehicles require static calibration, which we perform using manufacturer-specified equipment at 43 Cambridge Ave, Bankstown.

Our Calibration Process

1. Pre-scan: We connect to your vehicle’s diagnostic systems to identify ADAS features and requirements

2. Preparation: Vehicle positioned on a level surface with correct tyre pressures and fuel level

3. Target setup: Calibration targets positioned at exact distances and heights per manufacturer specifications

4. Calibration: Specialist equipment initiates calibration for each ADAS feature

5. Verification: Post-calibration scans confirm successful completion and clear fault codes

6. Documentation: Calibration report provided for your records

Vehicles We Calibrate

We calibrate ADAS systems on most modern vehicles:

• Toyota Safety Sense
• Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE
• Honda Sensing
• Hyundai SmartSense
• Subaru EyeSight
• Ford Co-Pilot360
• Volkswagen and Audi systems
• BMW and Mercedes systems
• And many more

If your vehicle has ADAS features, it likely needs calibration after windscreen replacement.

When Is Calibration Required?

ADAS calibration is essential after:

• Windscreen replacement
• Camera or sensor replacement
• Front-end collision repair
• Wheel alignment changes
• Suspension modifications

Some systems also require recalibration after battery disconnection or software updates.

Combined Service

We offer ADAS calibration as part of our windscreen replacement service. When you book a replacement with us, we complete calibration immediately afterwards, saving you time and ensuring everything is done correctly.

Don’t Skip Calibration

Some windscreen services don’t offer calibration, leaving your safety systems potentially compromised. Warning lights might not appear immediately, but incorrect calibration can have serious consequences:

• Emergency braking may not activate when needed
• Lane keeping may steer you in the wrong direction
• Collision warnings may come too late

Always ensure ADAS calibration is included when replacing a windscreen on a modern vehicle.
