What Is ADAS Calibration?
Your car's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring) rely on cameras and radar sensors calibrated to millimetre precision.
Any disturbance throws them off. A windscreen replacement shifts the forward-facing camera. A bumper repair moves the radar sensor behind the front grille. A minor collision knocks multiple systems out of alignment simultaneously.
When calibration is off, your safety systems don't work as designed. Adaptive cruise control disengages. Emergency braking triggers at nothing. Phantom braking. Lane keeping pulls the wrong way. Dashboard warnings appear: "ACC unavailable" or "Front Assist not available."
ADAS calibration restores these systems to manufacturer specifications using OEM-grade diagnostic equipment. It's not an error code reset. It's precision realignment of the sensors your car's safety depends on.
At ADAS Line, we handle what windscreen companies, garages, and body shops can't complete. If your provider couldn't finish the calibration, we can.

When Autoglass, Kwikfit, or your local garage couldn't complete the calibration, we finish the job. Our technicians deal with the complex cases others turn away.
Some calibrations require controlled workshop conditions for accuracy. Others can be done on-site. We advise which option your vehicle needs. No guesswork.
These are the triggers that require recalibration:
When a windscreen is replaced, the forward-facing camera is detached and reattached. Even the slightest shift requires recalibration to keep lane departure warning, forward collision alert, and other safety features operating correctly.
Any repair involving bumpers, grilles, mirrors, quarter panels, or sensors affects ADAS alignment. Calibration ensures every sensor is positioned precisely along the vehicle's centre line.
Even minor accidents can knock sensors or their brackets out of alignment by just a few millimetres. Calibration realigns the system so it performs as intended following bodywork or structural repairs.
If an ADAS warning or diagnostic trouble code (DTC) appears on your dashboard, it indicates the system has detected a fault. Recalibration is required to restore safe operation.
Normal driving, suspension settling, and everyday road vibrations can gradually cause sensors to become misaligned, often without triggering any warning lights. Industry experts recommend regular calibration checks.
Sometimes a quick ADAS check is all it takes to feel fully confident on the road.
