ADAS Calibrations

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.

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 TASKSDEFINITION
Adaptive Cruise ControlControls 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 AssistanceControls vehicle acceleration, braking, and steering. SAE standard definition of L2 Autonomous systems outlines this functionality.
Lane Keeping AssistanceControls steering to maintain vehicle within driving lane. May prevent vehicle from departing lane or continually center vehicle.
COLLISION ALERTSDEFINITION
Blind Spot WarningDetects vehicles to rear in adjacent lanes while driving and alerts driver to their presence.
Forward Collision WarningDetects impending collision while traveling forward and alerts driver.
Lane Departure WarningMonitors vehicle’s position within driving lane and alerts driver as the vehicle approaches or crosses lane markers.
Parking Obstruction WarningDetects obstructions in close proximity to vehicle during parking maneuvers.
Pedestrian DetectionDetects pedestrians in front of vehicle and alerts driver to their presence.
Rear Cross Traffic WarningDetects vehicles approaching from side and rear of vehicles while traveling in reverse and alerts driver.
COLLISION MITIGATIONDEFINITION
Automatic Emergency SteeringDetects potential collision and automatically controls steering to avoid or lessen the severity of impact.
Forward Automatic Emergency BrakingDetects potential collisions while traveling forward and automatically applies brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of impact.
Reverse Automatic Emergency BrakingDetects potential collision while traveling in reverse and automatically applies brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of impact.
PARKING ASSISTANCEDEFINITION
Fully-automated Parking AssistanceControls acceleration, braking, steering, and shifting during parking. May be capable of parallel and / or perpendicular parking.
Remote ParkingSystem parks vehicle without driver being physically present inside the vehicle. Automatically controls acceleration, braking, steering, and shifting.
Semi-automated Parking AssistanceControls steering during parking. Driver responsible for acceleration, braking, and gear position. May be capable of parallel and/or perpendicular parking.
Surround View CameraUses cameras located around vehicle to present view of surroundings.
Trailer AssistanceSystem that assists driver during backing maneuvers with a trailer attached.
MISC. DRIVING AIDSDEFINITION
Automatic High BeamsDeactivates or orients headlamp beams automatically based on lighting, surroundings, and traffic.
Driver MonitoringMonitors driver condition by various means to detect drowsiness or lack of attention.
Night VisionA system that aids driver vision at night by projecting enhanced images on instrument cluster or heads-up display.
