1.1 About ADAS
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are electronic components in vehicles, which include a wide
range of safety features for vehicles such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane departure warning
(LDW), lane keep assist, blind spot elimination, night vision cameras and adaptive lighting.
Most road accidents occurr due to the human error. Advanced Driver Assist Systems are developed
to automate, adapt and enhance vehicle systems for safety and better driving. The automated system
provided by ADAS to the vehicle is proven to reduce road fatalities, by offering technologies that alert the
driver to potential problems or by implementing safeguards and taking over control of the vehicle.
Initially only found on premium vehicles, the number of modern mid-class and compact vehicles equipped
with Advanced Driver Assist Systems is growing at a rapid rate.
The cameras and sensors used by these systems have to be precisely calibrated and
adjusted.
Incorrect calibration resulting from windscreen replacement or wheel alignment can cause the
system to deliver incorrect results or even fail completely, resulting in a serious accident or even a
fatality.

2.3.1.3 Workstation lighting
• The lighting system around the calibration workstation should be a non-frequency flash source, including
but not limited to: LED light source, industrial lighting complying with international standards, dual light
source in opposite phase.
• In the field of view of the camera, there should be no direct light source into the camera, otherwise
the camera will reduce the exposure so that the captured calibration pattern becomes darker, adversely
affecting the calibration.
• The light source should ensure that there is no reflected spot on the calibration panel.
• The light source should ensure uniform illumination distribution in the calibration workstation.

source around the workstation, such as a driving vehicle with lights ON, etc.
2.3.2 Calibration Operation
The calibration operation should be performed strictly following the on-screen instructions on the diagnostic
tool. For some vehicle models, calibration pattern and calibration tool are not mandatory. But for some
camera-based ADAS, the calibration cannot be done without the help of calibration tool and calibration
pattern. In this case, for the positioning of the calibration tool and vehicle, it is necessary for the user to
manually finish it.
The following steps are needed when working with the THINKCAR ADAS:
1. Determine the center line of the vehicle.
2. Determine the placement location of the THINKCAR ADAS.
3. Place the THINKCAR ADAS.
4. Adjust THINKCAR ADAS in parallel with the vehicle.
5. Select and install the target/pattern board on the THINKCAR ADAS.
6. Adjust the height of the target/pattern board.
Required accessories:
• Five-line laser device LAM09-01
• Cross laser module LAM09-02
• Laser reflector LAM09-03
• Auxiliary mirror LAM09-04
• L-shaped positioning bracket LAM09-05
• Plumb line LAM09-06
2.3.2.1 Determine the center line of the vehicle
1. Suspend a plumb line LAM09-06 against the center of the front vehicle emblem and let it naturally drop
to the ground. Mark the front center point of the vehicle (Point A) on the ground directly under the
plumb.
Lightly flick the string with your fingers several times to confirm that the string is perpendicular
to the ground.

logo opposite to the driving direction) to ensure that the red dot on the case aligns with the point A.
3. Suspend a plumb line LAM09-06 against the center of the rear vehicle emblem and let it naturally drop to
the ground. Mark the front center point of the vehicle (Point B) on the ground directly under the plumb.
Lightly flick the string with your fingers several times to confirm that the string is perpendicular
to the ground.
4. Place the laser reflector LAM09-03 parallel to the vehicle and ensure that the reflective stripe is aligned
with point B.
5. Place the auxiliary mirror LAM09-04 in front of the vehicle.
6. Ensure that five-line laser instrument LAM09-01 is level, turn on the laser beams of the five-line laser
instrument LAM09-01.
If the vehicle chassis is too low, the five-line laser instrument LAM09-01 cannot be placed
under it, just move it a bit far away from the vehicle emblem.
7. Observe the position of the laser beam with the auxiliary mirror LAM09-04. Rotate the fine-tuning knob
(5) of five-line laser instrument LAM09-01 to ensure the longitudinal laser beam aligns with the reflective
stripe of the laser reflector LAM09-03.
