CAADE CAADE Vehicle Safety Systems and Technology Questions and Answers 2

Question 1

What is the purpose of a static ADAS calibration versus a dynamic ADAS calibration?

Accepted Answer

Static is performed in a controlled indoor environment with targets; dynamic is performed while driving at specified speeds

Answer

Static ADAS calibration uses precise indoor targets and fixtures, while dynamic calibration is performed by driving the vehicle under specific conditions to reset sensor alignment.

Question 2

A vehicle has lane-keeping assist (LKA). After a front-end collision repair, what step must be documented in the repair estimate?

Accepted Answer

ADAS recalibration and verification scan

Answer

Lane-keeping assist relies on a calibrated forward camera, so after front-end repairs the system must be recalibrated and a verification scan documented.

Question 3

Which of the following correctly describes the role of a crash data recorder (CDR/EDR) in a damage appraisal?

Accepted Answer

It stores pre-crash speed, braking, and seatbelt status data useful for liability and severity assessment

Answer

The crash data recorder (Event Data Recorder/EDR) captures pre-crash data such as speed, throttle, and braking that can inform damage severity and liability analysis.

Question 4

After replacing a front bumper on a vehicle with an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, what must the appraiser note as a required repair step?

Accepted Answer

Recalibrate the front radar sensor to manufacturer specifications

Answer

AEB systems rely on a front radar sensor that must be recalibrated to factory specifications after bumper replacement to maintain accurate collision detection.

Question 5

What is the significance of a 'supplemental restraint system' (SRS) warning light remaining on after collision repairs?

Accepted Answer

It indicates an unresolved fault in the airbag or seat belt system that could prevent deployment in a future crash

Answer

An illuminated SRS warning light means the restraint system has an unresolved fault and may not deploy correctly in a subsequent collision, making it a critical safety concern.
