ADAS EUROPEAN SYSTEM

In this training, you will learn about ADAS systems on European vehicles. We will cover radar calibration (distance pilot), round view monitoring system (360-degree camera), and lane-keeping assist system multi-function cameras (MFK).

Quick Overview

In this training you will learn how to perform static calibration with targets and dynamic calibration while driving. We will cover:
Radar calibration (distance pilot).
Around View Monitoring system (360 degree camera).
Lane keeping assist system multi function cameras (MFK)
We discuss both static, dynamic calibration and simple diagnostics.
This one-day seminar is theory and hands-on. We will cover what the systems' functions are, why and when to calibrate and how to recognise incorrect calibration by vehicle behaviour.

Comprehensive Overview

• Radar calibration (distance pilot) is the system that controls the distance to the car in front when you are in cruise control mode. It is the biggest input in the crash mitigation system, where seat belts are retracted, brakes are pumped up and the crash warning system.

• Around View Monitoring system (360-degree camera). This system is the set of cameras dotted around the vehicle. These cameras’ graphics need to be placed to get an accurate birds-eye view picture of the vehicle.

• Lane keeping assist system multi-function cameras (MFK). This system takes care of the car staying between the lines on the road but also takes care of following the vehicle in front of you. The MFK takes care of the ILS which cuts out illumination for oncoming and followed vehicles, even on winding roads.

• We will discuss both static, dynamic calibration and simple diagnostics.

So what else does this training cover?

We start with simply covering what the names of the various ADAS systems are on a particular vehicle and what their functions are. We deal with several vehicles in detail. After we have covered the basics, so you are comfortable knowing the difference between for example MFK*, DTR* and AVM* to name a few and we deal with the calibration of individual units.
This leads into simple diagnostics and dealing with common customer complaints that you may encounter and this is where things become interesting for us at AECS! Here is a small selection of complaints we have dealt with indirectly through tech support:
After the windscreen has been replaced, at night with high beam on (auto), the ‘black area’ around the car in front of you is too big and not following the car properly.
Your customer comes in and tells you to “remove that #$^% beeper from the dash” as every time when they are about 50 mm away from the precise centre of their lane, the beeper goes off, and after about 5km driving the dash tells him that he needs to take a break.
When following the car in front while in cruise control mode, my car only brakes when I am about 10cm away from the bumper of the car in front of me.
In auto steering mode the car is swerving like I am drunk and frequently crosses the centreline before it pulls back into its lane again, to overshoot into the berm, “it is unusable!”.
The light in the wing mirror keeps flashing orange, we cannot turn it off.
When we drive through town through narrow streets the beeper in the car keeps going off warning me of something. No, it's not the parking sensor warning, that sounds different.
When we reverse, we cannot see what happens on the RH side of the car on the overview monitor. We have already hit some obstacles as a result.
What would you do when this comes your way? Do you shrug your shoulders and tell your customer “I don’t know”, or “just turn the system off every time you start a trip”? Become the automotive ‘go-to’ expert!
Simply start with our unique and comprehensive training. You will learn how to answer and deal with each of the complaints outlined above and a lot more. Our training helps you to first determine in which system the problem is. Second of all, it will teach you how to calibrate the complaint away or indicate if you need to realign items. You will be taught how to measure if ADAS items are out or still in calibration’s ‘reach’.
