Interact with vehicles that have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Overview
This standard is for individuals who interact with vehicles which have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) but may not maintain, service or repair these systems themselves. Examples of these job roles include sales staff, cleaners/valets, vehicle fitters or technicians who may not have specialist ADAS training.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
P1 select and use appropriate personal and vehicle protective equipment
P2 identify the correct manufacturer’s information regarding the vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance System and the location of parts and sensors
P3 identify associated risks when working around Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
P4 carry out work activities in a way which minimises risks of damage or de-calibration to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
P5 refer any problems working on vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to the relevant colleague promptly
P6 report the work activities you have carried out on the vehicle, ensuring your records are accurate, complete and passed to the relevant person(s)within the agreed timescale and in the format required.
