Peugeot ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

Because the front radar that feeds Distance Control sits low in the front bumper, behind the badge on the newest models, exactly where bumper work and parking knocks happen. On the dash it often shows in full as 'Monitoring radar fault: Distance control functions deactivated'. A bumper removed and refitted for paint, a new bracket after a light impact, or a kerb-height nudge can shift the radar's aim by a fraction of a degree. That's enough for the system to fail its self-check and switch itself off.

Clearing the fault code doesn't change where the radar points, so the message returns within a few miles. On recent Peugeots it often shows alongside the wider 'Driving aids: risk of malfunction' message, which flags the same family of driver aids. The lasting fix is a static calibration of the radar, run to full manufacturer specification. That's one line on the rate card: front radar calibration, £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

Often not. On Peugeots with camera-based systems, the forward camera sits behind the windscreen, up behind the mirror, and it reads the road through the glass it was calibrated to. A new screen changes that view by enough to matter, and Peugeot's documented calibration procedure calls for a front camera calibration after a windscreen replacement. Plenty of glass fitters finish the glass and stop there, and clearing the warning without calibrating just brings it back.

You don't need a dealer for this. Any of our service centres runs the camera calibration and issues a certificate with the post-job readings, which closes the loop with the glass fitter's paperwork. It's priced as one system: front camera calibration at £162 inc VAT, £135 +VAT.

Because fitting the part is only the first of three steps. A replacement radar has to be coded so the rest of the car recognises it, then calibrated so it points exactly where the documented procedure says it should. Skip either and Adaptive Cruise Control and Active Safety Brake stay offline with the new part fitted and ignored.

That holds whether the radar is new or second hand, though a used unit carries the extra question of whether it can be coded to your car at all; the centre confirms that in the written quote. The rate for a replaced front radar covers coding and calibration together: £232.80 inc VAT (£194 +VAT). If your original radar was only unplugged or refitted, the standard per-system calibration rate applies instead.

Yes for any Peugeot with factory-fitted driver assistance, which is most of the range from 2018 on. That covers Active Safety Brake, Distance Control, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep, whether they came as standard kit or in a Drive Assist pack. The coverage table above runs from the 208, 2008 and 3008 through the 308, 408 and 508, the e-208, and the Partner and Rifter vans.

If yours isn't listed, send the registration when you enquire. Driver assistance on Peugeots varies by year and trim more than by model, so the centre checks what's actually fitted to your car and lists each system by name. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.

Not by itself. Under UK block exemption rules you're free to have service and repair work, calibration with it, carried out away from the dealer network without putting the manufacturer warranty at risk, provided the work is done to the manufacturer's standard.

That standard is the part we document. The calibration runs to Peugeot's documented calibration procedure, and the certificate records the post-job readings against Peugeot's tolerances, the same standard a dealer issues, and sits on the car's service history. If a warranty question ever comes up, the answer is in writing.

Dealer quotes for this work run £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us. Part of that spread is process: a dealer usually books the car in for inspection first, and the calibration price arrives after the diagnosis, sometimes with an inspection fee of its own.

Our rates are published and per system. 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.
