Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: 2019 Cadillac XT5

While many have noticed that advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are showing up on vehicles, there still is confusion on what is required of these systems after a collision occurs. The Ask I-CAR team frequently gets questions in regard to calibration of ADAS. Many of these questions can be answered simply by using the OEM Calibration Requirements Search. However, there are some questions that may need more details than the calibration search provides. Let’s take a look at the 2019 Cadillac XT5.

The front bumper cover may contain:

• ultrasonic sensors
• short range radar sensors
• long range radar sensor
• a camera

The service manual does not specify calibration for the ultrasonic sensors or short range radar sensors. A static or dynamic calibration is required for the long range radar sensor and the camera after certain events.

The windshield contains a camera near the rearview mirror. A dynamic calibration is required after certain events, and also requires progamming if the camera is replaced with a new one.

The side mirrors on this vehicle may contain cameras. These cameras are part of the 360° camera view and requires static calibration after certain events.

The deck lid/liftgate/tailgate may also contain a camera. This camera can either be used for the 360° camera view or rear view only, depending on what system the vehicle is equipped with. If it for the 360° camera view, static calibration is required after certain events. If it is only for rear view, no calibration is required.

Lastly, the rear bumper cover may contain:

• ultrasonic sensors
• radar sensors

The service manual does not specify calibration for the ultrasonic sensors or the radar sensors.

This is just a brief overview of some of the different required calibrations from the 2019 Cadillac XT5 OEM Calibration Requirements Search. Always consult the OEM repair information to get the exact information and procedures required to service the ADAS.
