The Top 5 ADAS Features Every Collision Shop Should Know About

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have become common in most vehicles. Collision repair shops need to understand these features to keep their customers safe. Correctly repairing these features keeps their customers and the general public safer on the road and in the parking lot. Here are five ADAS features shops should know about.

ADAS Features

1. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

This system applies the brakes in an emergency to prevent collisions with an object or vehicle. Proper calibration helps the vehicle respond appropriately even during distracted driver or other needed times.

2. Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

This system provides an alert of potential collision situations ahead. Sensors and cameras look down the road, detecting distances from objects. If the alignment is incorrect, it could result in false warnings or the failure to report a problem ahead of time.

3. Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Through forward-facing cameras, lane markers are monitored to warn drivers if they drift out of the lane. Sensors and cameras must be aligned after repairs to ensure proper performance.

4. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

The adaptive cruise control monitors the distance between you and the car in front of you and slows the vehicle when necessary. Recalibrating the radar sensors is critical after a collision so that they work correctly.

5. Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)

This monitoring service uses sensors to detect other vehicles in your blind spots. Replacing mirrors or rear bumpers may necessitate calibration to avoid errors.
