This guide provides manufacturer-specific calibration requirements for vehicles popular in our service areas. Requirements can vary based on trim level and options. Our certified technicians always verify the exact procedure for your specific vehicle.
Popular in Lakewood & Monsey Communities
Honda Sensing® and AcuraWatch™ suites rely heavily on forward-facing cameras, with newer models using a single wide-view camera that makes precise calibration even more critical.
Popular Models: Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Passport; Acura MDX, RDX, TLX Typical Years: 2018 - Present Calibration Type: Often Dual (Static & Dynamic)
Technical Details: Many modern Hondas and Acuras with Honda Sensing require our comprehensive two-part process. We typically begin with static calibration in our controlled indoor facility, using precise targets to aim the camera. This is often followed by our dynamic calibration procedure—a precisely controlled drive process where our certified technician connects diagnostic equipment, initiates learning mode, and drives under manufacturer-specified conditions.
During the dynamic phase, the camera's software actively identifies road markings and cross-references visual data to finalize orientation. Vehicles like Honda Accord or Acura MDX often require this dual procedure to ensure safety systems function properly.
Drive a Honda or Acura? Call us at (732) 677-8472 (Lakewood) or (845) 570-2068 (Monsey) to verify your specific Honda Sensing calibration requirements. We handle the complete process with pickup/delivery service. Schedule Service →

Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) are standard on nearly all new models. The evolution to TSS 2.5 and 3.0 has only increased camera precision requirements.
Popular Models: Toyota Camry, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4, Sienna, Tacoma; Lexus ES, GX, NX, RX Typical Years: 2018 - Present Calibration Type: Varies by System Generation
Technical Details: Calibration procedures depend on the specific Toyota Safety Sense generation. Some models require our precision static calibration process, while others need our dual calibration to ensure Lane Tracing Assist and Pre-Collision System function accurately.
Our indoor facilities provide the controlled environment essential for Toyota's strict calibration tolerances.
Popular with Some Geshmake Guys
Subaru's EyeSight® system is unique, relying almost exclusively on a stereo (dual) camera system mounted on the windshield with no radar backup.
Popular Models: Ascent, Crosstrek, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback Typical Years: 2016 - Present Calibration Type: Static or Dual (Model-Dependent)
Technical Details: The dual-camera setup typically requires precise calibration in our controlled indoor environment. We position specific targets at exact distances and heights, following Subaru's specifications. Many Subaru vehicles with EyeSight require static calibration, though some newer models may need additional dynamic calibration procedures.
Why Our Indoor Facilities Matter: Subaru's system is particularly sensitive to environmental variables. Our controlled lighting and level surfaces at both locations ensure calibration accuracy that's impossible to achieve outdoors.
Popular Fleet & Family Vehicles
Ford's Co-Pilot360™ system shares foundational camera technology across all levels, from basic lane-keeping to the advanced BlueCruise™ hands-free system.
Popular Models: Ford F-150, Escape, Explorer, Edge, Mustang Mach-E; Lincoln Aviator, Corsair, Nautilus Typical Years: 2019 - Present Calibration Type: Often Dynamic
Technical Details: Many Ford and Lincoln vehicles require our specialized dynamic calibration procedure. This is far more complex than a test drive—it's a specific on-road data acquisition process using manufacturer diagnostic tools.
Our certified technician places the vehicle into learning mode, then drives under strict manufacturer parameters (speed, lighting, road type) while the camera gathers visual data points to confirm alignment. This process is often essential for vehicles like Ford Explorer or F-150 models.
Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac
GM's various ADAS brands (Chevy Safety Assist, etc.) share core camera hardware crucial for Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist.
Popular Models: Chevy Silverado, Equinox, Traverse; GMC Sierra, Acadia; Buick Enclave; Cadillac Escalade, XT5 Typical Years: 2019 - Present Calibration Type: Dynamic (Primarily)
Technical Details: GM vehicles typically use our dynamic calibration procedure—a prescribed drive cycle monitored with diagnostic computers. The camera system enters a learning state, actively scanning lane markings to establish centerline and field of view during up to 30 minutes of qualified driving.
This process is essential for vehicles like a 2021 Chevy Silverado or 2022 GMC Sierra to ensure the system trusts its own vision.
Increasingly Popular Value Choices
Hyundai SmartSense™ and Kia Drive Wise share identical technology, relying on forward cameras for advanced Highway Driving Assist (HDA).
Popular Models: Hyundai Palisade, Santa Fe, Sonata, Tucson; Kia Telluride, Sorento, K5, Sportage Typical Years: 2020 - Present Calibration Type: Typically Static
Technical Details: These advanced systems with lane-centering capabilities often require precise static calibration in our controlled facility. The camera must be aimed against targets with extreme accuracy for Highway Driving Assist to function safely.
Vehicles like the Hyundai Palisade or Kia Telluride typically need this precision in-shop procedure, though specific requirements can vary by model year and trim level.
