Volvo ADAS calibration & coding
The company that gave the world the three-point seatbelt takes its cameras seriously - so do we.
Safety is the brand
Volvo calibration - respecting a safety legacy
No marque wears safety on its sleeve like Volvo - this is the company that invented the three-point seatbelt in 1959 and gave the patent away. Its modern equivalent is City Safety, the camera-and-radar emergency braking system fitted as standard across the range, joined on many models by Pilot Assist, Volvo's adaptive cruise with steering support. Those systems are only as good as the alignment of the sensors behind them.
That is where we come in. After a windscreen replacement, accident repair or suspension change on an XC40, XC60, XC90, or the S and V models, the windscreen camera and radar need setting back to Volvo specification - static targets, a road calibration or both, depending on the model. The work is done with genuine dealer software through our camera calibration and radar calibration services, with audit-compliant certification at the end.
Newer Volvos protect their diagnostics behind a secure gateway, and unlocking it is part of our normal workflow - a protected XC60 gets the same proper treatment as anything else in the workshop. If you drive one of the other safety-conscious premium marques, our Mercedes-Benz page covers similar ground - and MG, another marque whose gateway we unlock, has a page of its own.
Straight answers
Volvo calibration questions
What exactly is City Safety?
City Safety is Volvo's standard-fit emergency braking system, using the windscreen camera and radar to detect vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Because it is standard across the range, virtually every recent Volvo needs calibration after glass or front-end work.
Pilot Assist feels different since my windscreen was replaced - why?
Pilot Assist steers using what the windscreen camera sees. If the camera has not been recalibrated since the glass was changed, its view of the lane may be slightly off - book a calibration and have it set back to specification.
Can you deal with the secure gateway on newer Volvos?
Yes - unlocking Volvo secure gateways is part of our normal workflow, so newer protected cars are diagnosed, calibrated and coded with genuine dealer software.
