If Slow to Calibrate

2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV RS, AWDSECTION If Slow to Calibrate

The ideal calibration condition is driving on a freeway or two lane road with medium traffic. One or more of the following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-calibration procedure:

  • Visually inspect for damaged, bent, or broken Long Range Radar bracket. Brackets out of level more than 2 degrees will not calibrate or self-learn. Discuss with the customer about vehicle history and possible past accident. Replace bracket if damaged.
  • Heavy traffic - following too close behind vehicles for long periods (more than 40 minutes)
  • Stop and go or very slow traffic
  • Mountain roads
  • Constant sharp curves in roadway
  • No traffic - if no traffic is available, may need to add vehicle ahead to support calibration
  • Limited or no stationary structures on side of the road - need structures such as street signs, guard rails, mail boxes, parked cars, etc.
  • Driving in tunnels
