Autel MaxiSYS Calibration Ensures a Safer ADAS System
If you drive a late-model car, chances are your vehicle is equipped with an advanced driver assistance system. These systems can provide 360-degree surround video monitoring, parking assistance, lane departure warnings, and more. From back up cameras and video monitoring to radar systems and parking assistance, these advanced components require precise calibration when changes occur to your vehicle.
Realignments, windshield replacements, rim and tire changes, and bumper repairs are all examples of aftermarket changes that affect your ADAS system’s accuracy. Without proper calibration, these systems won’t work properly, and in some cases, cease functioning entirely.

What is ADAS?
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance System, and nearly all newly manufactured vehicles that have some form of an ADAS system. This is a form of technology that is used to assist drivers by automating certain system features and giving early warnings, allowing for drivers to more safely navigate. Some examples of popular ADAS are adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and potential collision detection warnings.
Instances of When System Calibration is Needed
A technician has to re-calibrate your system after every new installation or repair on your vehicle that may affect your ADAS sensors.
- A window or windshield was replaced
- The front end or bumper was repaired or replaced
- You’ve been in an accident recently
- Certain repairs have been done on your vehicle
- The ADAS light on your vehicles dashboard is on
- Six Months have passed since the last calibration
This process is very time-consuming and requires precise measurements. The government and most insurance agencies now require driver assist devices in new cars. Luckily, our state-of-the-art MaxiSYS calibration technology makes this process quick and streamlined.
ADAS Calibration Made Easy with MaxiSYS
Thanks to pioneering research and development, the traditional calibration method is now out of date. The MaxiSYS Calibration Tool gets this process done in a fraction of the time that it used to take. Every shop that purchases this technology gets extensive training to ensure that all of the staff are capable of using it correctly. Since this tool is also portable, our mobile service technicians can take it with them to the site of your vehicle. This product is capable of doing both dynamic and static calibrations.
From your vehicle’s 360 video monitoring to its radar and laser sensors, the MaxiSYS will account for any changes to your car’s windows and body, ensuring your ADAS system returns to optimum performance following any repairs or upgrades.
Opti-Aim Makes Windshield Replacements Faster and Safer
In addition to the MaxiSYS technology, we also use Opti-Aim calibration systems for replacing new model windshields quickly and properly. A Driver-assist camera is most often mounted to your automobile windshield and takes continued readings from the road ahead of you. This handy feature can activate the brakes to help you avoid a crash that you might not notice otherwise. This camera is an incredibly handy safety feature and can prevent possibly thousands of crashes a year.
But did you know that getting your windshield replaced can cause the camera to malfunction? Our calibration experts have a quick and simple solution that keeps you and your family safe on the road.
What Does a Windshield Replacement Do to My Driver Assist Camera?
As clear as they might seem to the naked eye, cameras are sensitive enough to detect the glass of the windshield. Every piece has slightly different refractive properties than any other piece of glass. When you install a new windshield, the camera still “sees” it as the old one, which can throw off the depth perception feature. This could lead to collision avoidance failure, or to activate the brakes unnecessarily.
If you get distracted the system alerts you and prevents you from veering out of the lane that you’re in. The cameras even have blind spot and pedestrian detection. Perhaps the most convenient feature is adaptive cruise control. This feature allows you to set your cruise control as normal, but it slows you down if you come upon slower moving vehicles, then speeds up again to match the flow of traffic.
How Does MaxiSYS and Opti-Aim Help Me?
You no longer have to take the day off to get your driver-assist cameras and other ADAS sensors adjusted. It’s also good practice to check the calibration on a regular basis, especially after an accident. The MaxiSYS and Opti-Aim connect to your vehicle’s onboard computer and calibrate everything according to original specifications.
When you drive away with your new windshield, you’ll know that none of your car’s features are compromised. You know that you still get the correct warnings about dangerous situations and that your ride is smooth and comfortable thanks to the adaptive cruise control.
