Radars are one of the most important safety features fitted to modern cars and are split into two main sections:
Short range radar (SRR) typically used for systems such as blind spot assist city braking (low speed) and parking situations.
Long range radar (LRR) typically used for systems such as Adaptive Cruise control (ACC) Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) these sensors work at a much greater range approximately 200 metres in some cases, so the correct calibration is of paramount importance as this system controls all aspects of automatic braking.
Incorrect aiming of these sensors after repair work such as:
Can lead to the system picking up vehicles in other lanes or even not sensing a vehicle in front of you in an emergency situation.
