Since advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), scanning, and calibration first started becoming relevant, members of the collision repair industry have required as much knowledge as possible on these subjects. I-CAR’s Repairability Technical Support (RTS) team continues to be on the leading edge of research and education. Our goal is to help communicate information to the industry, and a great way to do this is through Collision Repair News articles.
We have compiled a list of some of the publications proven to be the most helpful when dealing with ADAS, calibration, and scanning. From definitions of commonly used terms, to understanding how each ADAS functions, to how to navigate OEM information, there’s something for everyone. This "hotspot" is also available on the OEM Calibration Requirements Search page. We’ve broken down the list into easy to use categories so you can pick a subject and find the information you require. Make sure to check back here often, as we will continue to update this list when new information arises.
