Renault ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

Any Renault with factory-fitted driver assistance, the systems Renault groups under its EASY DRIVE name. The table above carries the UK volume: Clio V, Captur II, Megane E-Tech, Arkana and Austral, plus the earlier Kadjar and the Zoe.

If yours isn't in the table, a Scenic E-Tech or a 5 E-Tech for instance, send the registration anyway. The centre confirms from your registration which systems your car carries and whether the front radar, the forward camera or both need recalibrating. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.

It means the car has stopped trusting its front radar, so everything that reads it drops out in one go: Active Emergency Braking, adaptive cruise with Stop and Go, and the safe-distance alert. Renault's handbook wording covers the temporary case, a radar blinded by heavy rain, snow or road grime, and the message clears on its own once the sensor can see again.

If it stays on after a bumper repair, a front-end knock or a radar replacement, the radar's aim has shifted and cleaning won't bring it back. The fix is a static front radar calibration to Renault's documented procedure. That's one system on the rate card: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

Because on a Renault a replacement radar is two jobs, not one. The new unit has to be coded to your car first, so the rest of the vehicle accepts it, then calibrated so its aim meets Renault's documented procedure. Skip either step and the EASY DRIVE systems stay offline, which is why the warning survives the new part.

We see this most on the Clio, Captur and Megane, and on Zoes fitted with AEB, usually after a front-end repair. The centre runs the coding, then the calibration, then issues the certificate. It's one line on the rate card, radar calibration following replacement, and that price covers the coding step: £232.80 inc VAT (£194 +VAT). If a second-hand unit was fitted, say so when you enquire, and the centre confirms what's possible before you book.

If there's a camera behind the glass, yes. On the Clio, Captur, Austral and Megane E-Tech the forward camera sits in a mount bonded to the windscreen, and Renault's documented procedure calls for a camera calibration whenever the glass is replaced, whether or not a warning shows. Lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition and the camera side of emergency braking all read that one camera.

Plenty of glass fitters replace the screen and stop there, so the first you hear of it is a dashboard warning on the way home. The remaining step is a static front camera calibration to full manufacturer specification, one system on the rate card: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

Renault dealers price calibration through their own workshop diary, and we've seen £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us, often with a diagnostic inspection billed on top. Our rate is the network rate, the same at every centre, and every price is published on this page.

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.

Both can be. Removing and refitting a bumper moves the panels around the front radar, and that can shift the radar's aim by a fraction of a degree. It's invisible to the eye and irrelevant to the paintwork, but it's enough for the car to stop trusting the sensor, so AEB and the lane systems drop out together even when the repair itself is spotless.

A typical case looks like this: front-end repair done, panels back on and the paint perfect, then the warnings arrive within the first few miles. The fix isn't more bodywork. Once the repair is finished the front radar needs a static recalibration, priced as one system: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT).

Not by itself. Under UK block exemption rules you're free to have service and repair work, calibration included, carried out away from the dealer network without losing your manufacturer warranty, provided the work follows Renault's documented procedure. That's what our service centres run, and the certificate records the post-job readings against Renault's tolerances.

If a fault were ever traced to work done off-procedure, that specific issue could be challenged, which is why the paperwork matters. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue.
