Always have ADAS systems professionally recalibrated by a Manufacturer certified technician using OEM-approved equipment after any impact or repair that affects sensor mounting locations.

Kia ADAS Calibration Services

Modern Kia vehicles are engineered with sophisticated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — the intelligent technology that helps keep you, your passengers, and everyone on the road safer. After a collision, windshield replacement, suspension work, or even a wheel alignment, these systems must be precisely recalibrated to function as Kia engineered them.

Our certified auto body technicians are here to help you get back on the road safely and confidently. At Carrillo & Sons, our Kia-certified technicians use factory-approved tools and OEM procedures to restore your Kia’s ADAS to exact manufacturer specifications.

What Is ADAS?
ADAS is a network of cameras, radar sensors, and ultrasonic detectors working together to monitor your surroundings in real time. In your Kia, these systems power critical safety features such as:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
  • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) & Lane Following Assist (LFA)
  • Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) & Blind-Spot View Monitor
  • Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)
  • Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
  • Parking Distance Warning & Surround View Monitor
  • Highway Driving Assist (HDA)

Even a millimeter of misalignment in a camera or radar sensor can cause these systems to misjudge distance, fail to detect hazards, or trigger false alerts — putting you at risk.

Come to Carrillo & Sons for Precision Recalibration for Your Kia’s Advanced Safety Systems.
