Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
These are newer technologies to help increase safety, reduce fatigue, and automate emergency procedures. Because of the prominence and importance of this rising adoption, it is of the utmost importance to be sure that customers are driving properly inspected and calibrated vehicles after their collision.
Factory Reset subscribes to the most recent technical OE information, scan tools, and calibration equipment to ensure that everything we do is done with the right tools, the right way.
Below are the makes we service along with common systems that require calibration depending on the location of damage to the vehicle. You may also see all our offerings in the “Cheat Sheet” which makes for a good desktop or printed reference.
- Toyota, Lexus & Scion
- Honda & Acura
- Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram & Fiat
- GMC, Chevrolet, Buick & Cadillac
- Ford & Lincoln
- Subaru
- Mazda
- Nissan & Infiniti
There are many names for ADAS systems, with many car lines having their own names for similar features. In order to help create an easier way to communicate the names of these systems, they have been broken down into 5 categories and 19 names. This helps reduce the redundancy when there can be multiple names for systems among car makes.
AUTOMATED DRIVING TASKS | DEFINITION |
Adaptive Cruise Control | Controls acceleration and/or braking to maintain a prescribed distance between it and a vehicle in front. May be able to come to a stop and continue. |
Dynamic Driving Assistance | Controls vehicle acceleration, braking, and steering. SAE standard definition of L2 Autonomous systems outlines this functionality. |
