Auto Correct | Safety Assist System Calibrations w/ Mechanic Shane Martin

Safety Assist System Calibration (ADAS calibration) is the crucial process of precisely aligning a vehicle's cameras, radar, and sensors to ensure features like automatic braking, lane keeping, and adaptive cruise control work accurately, typically needed after accidents, windshield replacements, wheel alignments, or any component changes that affect sensor positioning. Without it, systems can misread the road, leading to malfunctions, false alerts, or failure to activate when needed, compromising driver safety.

Car fuses are components designed to protect electrical wiring in cars and vehicles. An automotive circuit breaker is an electrical protection device designed to interrupt the flow of current in a circuit when it exceeds a predetermined level. Amp is short for ampere, which is the unit of measurement for electric current. The bigger the amp value, the more electricity is available. Your vehicle's type and size affect what model of car battery it carries and its amp rating.
