ADAS Requirements Reference
Kia ADAS Calibration Requirements
Kia requires technicians to verify blind-spot radar angles with an inclinometer after any body repair or sensor disturbance, then complete Variant Coding and a KDS Radar Calibration before road testing — angle tolerances vary by model. Level 5 Solutions has performed many Kia BSD and BCW calibrations.
What Kia requires — by repair
When Kia requires ADAS recalibration
Sensor, camera & radar R&R
- After body repair or any disturbance to a BSD/BCW radar sensor, technicians must measure horizontal and vertical radar angles with a calibrated inclinometer (angles vary by model), perform Variant Coding, and complete KDS Radar Calibration before any road test.Source: Kia — SST060 (Rev 2), "BSD/BCW Troubleshooting & Angle Measurement" (Rev. Aug 2022)
Collision & body repair
- Following any collision or body repair that could affect rear-corner sensor position, Kia's SST060 procedure requires angle verification, Variant Coding, and KDS Radar Calibration on each affected BSD/BCW sensor before return to service.Source: Kia — SST060 (Rev 2), "BSD/BCW Troubleshooting & Angle Measurement" (Rev.

Frequently asked
Kia ADAS, answered.
- What steps are required after blind-spot sensor work on a Kia?
- Kia's SST060 procedure requires measuring horizontal and vertical radar angles with an inclinometer (tolerances differ by model), performing Variant Coding, and completing a KDS Radar Calibration — all before road testing.

- Does body repair near the rear corners of a Kia require radar recalibration?
- Yes. Any body repair that could shift a BSD or BCW sensor's position requires angle measurement, Variant Coding, and KDS Radar Calibration per Kia's SST060 bulletin.
