Understanding ADAS and the Importance of Radar Sensors Did you know that modern vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) rely on radar sensors for optimal performance in all driving conditions? From rain to fog, day or night, radar sensors help ensure safety features like adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind spot detection work flawlessly. But here’s the catch—bumpers can significantly affect radar accuracy! Why? When repairs, painting, or modifications are made to a bumper, it can: Reduce radar signal power Decrease sensitivity Distort radar wave detection Even adding layers of paint or using aftermarket bumpers can interfere with the radar’s functionality, compromising your vehicle’s safety systems. Stay Safe: Always follow OEM guidelines for repairs to ensure your ADAS keeps functioning as designed. READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/dHaEAsdd NB!!!
