  • • Lane Departure Warning false alerts or failures
  • • Automatic Emergency Braking reduced effectiveness
  • • Potential liability for installer and vehicle owner

Dynamic Calibration

On-road calibration using diagnostic scan tools. Required for certain makes and as a supplement to static calibration for complete verification.
