Today, driver assist systems are the fastest growing vehicle technology and yet are often a mystery to vehicle owners, according to Hunter Engineering. These systems, such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning and Brake Assist, increase driver safety by using cameras and radar to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings and help drivers avoid collisions.
“Of the approximately 15 million vehicles registered in the U.S. in 2015, almost one-third of these vehicles have the option of being equipped with driver assist system technology, so it is very important for shops to understand proper reset procedures,” said Kaleb Silver, Hunter Engineering Senior Product Manager.
In addition to a mechanical alignment, manufacturer’s specifications often require a Safety System Alignment. Hunter’s WinAlign 15.0 is designed to make it easy to align a vehicle’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Hunter’s new Safety System Alignment is the only integrated mechanical and Safety System Alignment procedure, according to the company.
