Honda e ADAS Calibration

Honda SENSING on the Honda e

The Honda e (2020–2024) launched with a comprehensive ADAS package as standard across all trims:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) – Using a wide-angle front camera behind the windscreen. The Honda e does not use a millimeter wave radar for CMBS – it's camera-only, which is a significant departure from the Civic and CR-V.
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) – Active lane centring via the same windscreen camera.
• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) – Steering and braking correction when leaving the road.
• Traffic Sign Recognition – Camera-based speed limit and sign display.
• Side Camera Mirror System – Cameras on slim stalks replace traditional door mirrors, displaying on interior screens. Unique to the Honda e.

Key Honda e detail: The camera-only CMBS means there's no front radar to calibrate after bumper repairs. The primary calibration trigger is windscreen replacement – affecting CMBS, LKAS, and RDM simultaneously. The side camera mirrors are unique to the Honda e and require model-specific calibration when replaced.

Honda e – When Calibration Is Needed

After windscreen replacement: The Honda e relies entirely on its windscreen camera for CMBS, LKAS, and RDM. After windscreen replacement, static camera calibration is mandatory. Because the Honda e's CMBS is camera-only (no radar backup), a miscalibrated camera means the emergency braking system could react incorrectly – making this calibration safety-critical.

Side camera mirror damage: The Honda e's camera mirror stalks protrude from the body and are vulnerable to the same knocks that break traditional door mirrors – passing vehicles, tight car parks, and car wash equipment. When a side camera unit is replaced, the new camera needs calibrating to the display system. This is a Honda e-specific procedure that general Honda dealers don't always perform.

City driving bumper contacts: Minor front bumper contacts are common for a city car. While there's no front radar to displace, the front-mounted wide-angle parking camera can shift during bumper work. If the parking view appears misaligned after a repair, recalibration is needed.

Honda e Calibration Pricing

The Honda e's camera-only CMBS system means windscreen calibration at £199 is the most common service – covering the camera that drives emergency braking, lane keeping, and road departure mitigation. Side camera mirror recalibration falls under our sensor calibration at £349. See all Honda models.
