There are many reasons for calibrating but the goal is to ensure that your vehicle's ADAS is working effectively to keep you and your passengers safe.
Why Calibrate?
There are many reasons why the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems on a vehicle should be calibrated, these include: replacing or repairing a bumper or windscreen, modification of the vehicle (changing the geometry of the car i.e. suspension, wheels, bumper, etc) or an accident - even minor damage could have ramifications on your vehicle safety system.
After repair or replacement of suspension components
After work has been completed on your vehicle's suspension, it is advised to have your vehicle's tracking done.
Windscreen replacement
If the camera has been removed and replaced with a new windscreen.
An impact to the front of your vehicle
Front impacts could change the radar's angle, leaving it with a mis-alignment fault.
Wheel alignment change
If your tracking has been altered, all manufacturers require you calibrate your vehicle's ADAS.
Change in ride height
Changing the vehicle's ride height can alter the radar and camera angles to the road.
Removal of bumper or radar components
All manufacturers require ADAS calibration after removal of bumper or radar for repair or replacement to confirm its alignment.
