ADVANCE DRIVER- ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
Advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) Is used to describe active safety systems on a vehicle that can identify safety -critical situations and take action, either automatically or by sending a warning to the driver. Listed below are some of the current systems fitted to your motor vehicles.
If you have any of these systems fitted to your vehicle then you must have the ADAS system recalibrated after any repairs have been carried out to your steering, suspension or windscreen systems to ensure correct operations.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEMS
Unlike lane departure system (LDW) which warn a drive of imminent lane departure, a lane keeping system (often referred to as a lane keep assist (LKA) corrects the line of travel of a vehicle automatically.
LANE CHANGE ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND BLIND SPOT DECETION SYSTEM.
Lane change assistance systems use sensors, mostly radar, to monitor the area around the vehicle prior to a lane change maneuver, and issue a warning to the driver when it is unsafe to change lanes, usually due to the presence of other vehicles in the drivers intended lane of travel.
PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST DETECTION SYSTEMS
These systems use infrared sensing along with other sensing equipment for example radar and cameras, to detect pedestrians and cyclists and then automatically brake.
Automatic/ adaptive cruise control (ACC) uses sensor technology to maintain a constant time gap from a moving vehicle ahead, some systems on some vehicles have a “stop and go” or “Queue assist” function for use in slow-moving traffic that can slow the vehicle to a complete stop and resume driving in traffic ques.
If you are unsure if you have any of these systems fitted please contact one of our team with your enquiry.
