WHAT WE DO

Calibration Services for Kia Vehicles

We provide calibration services comparable in quality with original manufacturers for every model of Kia available in the market.

Are Your Kia Safety Features Working Well?

ADAS safety features can be compromised when:

  • Smart Cruise Control fails at maintaining a consistent gap with the vehicle ahead.
  • Issues with power assisted steering causes lane-keep assistance to feel unresponsive.
  • The dashboard’s ‘Check Forward Safety System’ warnings appear after windscreen replacement.
  • Your collision avoidance system triggering unnecessarily or failing to detect obstacles.
  • If your Kia has had a suspension lift, windscreen replacement, or been feeling a bit off after being in a road bump, your safety sensors are likely out of alignment.

    How Kia ADAS Calibration is done

    1. Pre-Calibration Inspection

    Precision begins with the vehicle’s foundation. Before we calibrate, our technicians:

  • Use the Kia KDS (Kia Diagnostic System) to scan for fault codes in the ECU.

  • Verify the power assisted steering is correctly indexed and aligned.

  • Check tyre pressures and fuel levels to ensure the car sits at its factory-defined "ride height".

  • Clean all camera lenses and radar covers (located behind the front Kia badge or lower grille).

  • 2. Types of Calibration Methods

    Static Calibration

  • Performed in our lab using specialized Kia-specific target boards.

  • The vehicle is aligned with a laser-guided frame to ensure the camera and radar are perpendicular to the road.

  • This is critical for the collision avoidance system, as a 1mm error at the bumper can equal a 1-meter error 50 meters down the road.

  • Dynamic Calibration

  • Some Kia models require a road-learning phase.

  • Our technicians drive the car on marked roads to allow the Smart Cruise Control and lane-centring systems to "map" the horizon and lane boundaries.

  • 3. System-by-System Calibration Process

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

  • We align the front-facing radar to ensure your collision avoidance system accurately calculates the distance to the vehicle ahead.

  • Critical for the "Auto-Emergency Braking" features.

  • Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

  • High-precision radar alignment ensures your Kia maintains a smooth, safe distance in traffic.

  • We verify the radar beam is not angled too high (missing cars) or too low (detecting shadows/manholes).

  • Lane Keep & Follow Assist

  • We calibrate the camera mounted behind the rearview mirror.

  • This works in tandem with the power assisted steering to provide gentle steering corrections that keep you centered in your lane.

  • Blind-Spot & Rear Cross-Traffic

  • Rear bumper radar sensors are checked for alignment, ensuring the Kia Drive Wise suite detects vehicles approaching from behind before you change lanes.

  • 4. Post-Calibration Verification

  • ECU Final Scan: Ensuring all Kia Drive Wise modules report "Clear” post calibration.

  • Road Test: Real-world verification of Smart Cruise Control and lane assistance.

  • Compliance: We provide a signed safety certificate for your records or insurance provider.

  • Key Tools Used in Sensing Suite Calibration

    Tool Purpose
    Kia KDS (Diagnostic System) The primary interface communicating with the vehicle’s ECU.
    OEM Kia Target Boards Used to home in on static objects during static calibration.
    Digital Thrust Line Aligner Align the vehicle’s rear axle perfectly with the front using sensors, preventing "crab-walking".
    Radar Reflector Array Bounce and receive signals back to the Kia’s bumper sensors for collision avoidance system.
