ADAS calibration in Centurion
Centurion's freeway commuters use lane keeping and adaptive cruise more than most. If a new windscreen has gone in, the camera behind it needs calibrating so that those systems see the road correctly.
Freeway driving and driver-assist
On the N1 and N14, lane-keeping and adaptive cruise systems do much of their work. They rely on a camera behind the windscreen, sometimes together with radar. A camera that is slightly off after a new screen may steer you towards a lane line or brake late. That is why calibration matters most to drivers who spend long hours on fast roads.
How it is done for a Centurion car
Static calibration happens in a workshop, with the car on a level surface facing targets placed at set distances. Dynamic calibration happens on the road, with a diagnostic tool connected while the car is driven on clear lane markings. Centurion has plenty of well-marked roads for the dynamic method, but the fitter will choose by what your vehicle maker requires, not by convenience.
If you live in an estate or work in an office park, the screen may be fitted there and the calibration done elsewhere. See windscreen replacement in Centurion for the fitting side.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need calibration if I only had a chip repaired?
Usually not, because the camera has not moved. If the chip was in front of the camera, ask the fitter to check that the system still works properly.
Can calibration be done on the N1?
Dynamic calibration needs steady driving on clear lane markings, and a busy freeway is not always suitable. The fitter will choose the right road and time.
Is calibration needed after a rear window replacement?
Rarely, unless a rear camera or sensor is attached to the glass. The fitter will check your vehicle.
