Abarth ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

Fewer than most people expect, and it's worth knowing before you book anything. The 600e (2025 on) is the best equipped. Every one carries a forward camera for emergency braking and lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise and blind spot monitoring arrive higher up the range, which brings a front radar in as well. The 500e (2023 on) carries the forward camera behind the windscreen for emergency braking, Lane Keeping Assist and sign reading, and the Turismo adds blind spot radars, a reversing camera and 360-degree parking sensors. The 124 Spider had no forward camera and no front radar at all.

The 595 and 695 are the exception that catches people out. They left the factory with no camera or radar driver assistance at all, so there is nothing on them to calibrate. Abarth builds on Fiat platforms, and the Fiat page covers the 500, 500e and the rest of that range. Trim and options move the line on everything else, so send your registration and we'll confirm what your car carries before quoting. Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre, and every other rate is published further down this page.

Almost certainly not, because there's no driver-assistance sensor on the car to go out of aim. The 595 and 695 were built without emergency braking, lane assist or adaptive cruise, so nothing on them needs a calibration rig. A light after body shop work on one of those cars is far more likely to be tyre pressure monitoring, a parking sensor, an airbag or seatbelt circuit, or a connector left off during the rebuild.

We'd rather tell you that than sell you a calibration your car can't use. Send your registration and a photo of the dash. If it turns out to be one of the systems we do calibrate we'll quote it in writing before anything is booked, and if it isn't we'll say so and point you at the right trade.

Ask which sensor they mean. A 595 or 695 has no forward camera bonded to the windscreen and no front radar, so there is nothing behind the glass for us to aim once the screen is in. If a quote for one of those cars lists an ADAS calibration line, it is worth asking which system it covers before you pay it.

Send your registration and we will tell you what your car actually carries. A 500e or 600e is a different answer, because those do have a camera behind the glass, and that calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

That's expected, and it isn't a fault in the new glass. The 500e's forward camera reads the road through the windscreen and it was aimed through the screen that came out. A new screen doesn't sit in exactly the same place, so the car can no longer confirm where the camera is pointing and flags it rather than run emergency braking and Lane Keeping Assist on readings it can't trust.

Clearing the code doesn't move the camera, so the message comes back. Calibration is the closing step of the glass job on any camera-equipped car, and the windscreen walkthrough takes it step by step. Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.

Front-end repair means the bumper comes off, and on a 600e with adaptive cruise the radar that measures the gap to the car ahead lives behind it. Shift its aim and the car fails its own check, takes the system offline and puts a message on the dash rather than run it on numbers it can't verify. Clearing the fault doesn't move the radar back.

Find out which system is flagging before booking anything. A diagnostic scan does that, £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT), itemised on the quote as its own line. If it points at the front radar, radar calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. If it points at the forward camera instead, the rate is the same. The written quote names only the system that needs setting.

Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), front radar is the same, with the full rate card on this page. Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price and each additional system is 35% off at a centre.

Those are network rates, identical at every centre, and you only pay for the systems your car actually carries, which on a 500e is usually the forward camera on its own. Through a dealer the same class of work runs £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us, often with an inspection fee before the quote even arrives. A diagnostic scan, when your job needs one, is priced and itemised separately.

Yes, if the rear bumper came off. The blind spot radars on a 500e Turismo sit behind the rear bumper skin, one each side, and they're aimed to a fixed angle relative to the car. Refitting the bumper can be enough to move that angle, and the system either warns for traffic that isn't there or misses the car that is. UK 124 Spiders were not sold with blind spot monitoring, so that car is not one we calibrate.

Blind spot radar calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre, priced as its own system rather than bundled with anything at the front of the car. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue.

No. UK block exemption rules let an independent workshop carry out servicing and repair, calibration included, without putting the manufacturer warranty at risk, as long as the work meets the manufacturer's standard.

What matters if it's ever queried is evidence. Calibration runs to full manufacturer specification, and the readings taken after the job are recorded against your registration. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue. Filed with the service history, that's the document a warranty conversation starts from.
