ADAS Calibration in New Market, Libertytown, Urbana, Frederick, Emmitsburg, and Mt. Airy, MD
What is ADAS?
Your vehicle's driver assist feature can be a helpful safety enhancement. Depending upon the specifics of your automobile and Advanced Driver Assistance System, potential automated tasks can include collision avoidance with pedestrians and objects through emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind spot alerts, parking assistance, back-up/reverse visual assistance, cruise control, and variable speed/cruise control based on traffic flow. Your modern vehicle uses cameras, sensors, radar units, and a computer to detect and process relevant conditions, allowing your car to respond appropriately to its surroundings. While these features can be great aids, they're only as good as the ADAS calibration. Count on the professional technicians at Dynamic Automotive in New Market, Libertytown, Urbana, Frederick, Emmitsburg, and Mt. Airy, Maryland, to ensure your vehicle's ADAS elements work properly and to their fullest potential. With seven locations to best meet your needs and more than three decades of service to local communities, we're your reputable team for accurate ADAS calibration.
When is Calibration Necessary?
Although your automobile arrives with shiny paint, that new car smell, and a perfectly working ADAS, you'll likely need calibration at some point to ensure that your system continues working correctly. Sometimes, ADAS components ease away from optimal orientation over time. If you must replace your windshield, the front-facing camera will need adjustment. Also, any collision or other impact damage, such as a stray ball or bird strike, can alter the accurate adjustment of the sensory components. We can often calibrate the existing parts, allowing you to avoid replacement. However, certain ADAS elements are embedded in the auto body parts. Sensors, for instance, may be embedded in the bumpers. If the bumper is damaged, the entire unit and any ADAS elements will need to be replaced.
How is it Done?
When you bring your vehicle to Dynamic Automotive for ADAS calibration, we use static and mobile methods to ensure accuracy. Static calibration entails using fixed targets inside our facility to adjust your car's equipment to perceive and measure correctly. To refine your auto's responses, we also drive it to calibrate while the car is moving. Both aspects must be working well to ensure the system's reliability. The Dynamic Automotive team takes our role in your safe travel seriously. If your car has been in an accident, another life event has happened, or you notice a general decline in performance, schedule an appointment with us immediately for ADAS calibration.
