ProASSIST & ProACTIVE
Infiniti's driver-assist packages get their own calibration steps and target placements — not the Nissan procedure, even when the cars look related under the hood.
Infiniti ProASSIST & ProACTIVE calibration
Infiniti ProASSIST & ProACTIVE calibration in Springfield, IL.
If you own an Infiniti in Central Illinois, you have probably noticed something: the Infiniti dealer network has shrunk, and the nearest service center keeps getting farther away. The driver-assist tech in your Q50 or QX80 is not the same as the Nissan parts it shares a parking lot with, and it deserves a shop that knows the difference. ADC calibrates Infiniti's ProASSIST and ProACTIVE features — plus Direct Adaptive Steering and the Around View Monitor — right here in Springfield, the way Infiniti intended.
Direct Adaptive Steering
The Q50 and Q60 steer-by-wire system gets re-initialized after suspension, alignment, or steering-rack work. Nothing else on the road works quite like it.
Around View Monitor
Your 360-degree bird's-eye view is stitched together from four cameras. Replace a mirror cap, grille, or tailgate badge and the cameras need to be re-aimed so the picture lines up.
A closer option than the dealer
With Infiniti dealers harder to find in Central Illinois, Springfield owners shouldn't have to chase one down. We bring factory-level calibration to a much shorter drive.
What ProASSIST and ProACTIVE actually do for you
Infiniti puts its driver-assist features in two tiers, and they are not the same thing as Nissan's ProPilot — even though the brands share parts. ProASSIST is the standard package on most current Infinitis: predictive forward collision warning, intelligent cruise control, lane intervention, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic, backup collision intervention, and the Around View Monitor with moving-object detection. ProACTIVE is the upgrade tier — it layers in Active Lane Control, Distance Control Assist (which gently pushes back on your accelerator pedal when traffic ahead slows), and on the Q50 and Q60, Direct Adaptive Steering. Both tiers share some hardware with Nissan, but Infiniti uses its own service procedures and, in several cases, tighter calibration tolerances. That is why we don't shortcut the work.
Why your Infiniti is not just a fancy Nissan in the calibration bay
It is easy to look at a QX60 and a Pathfinder, see the shared platform, and assume the calibration is a copy-paste job. It isn't. Infiniti has its own procedure for every driver-assist sensor on the car, and the target distances, heights, and module setup steps don't always match what Nissan calls for on a related model. The Around View Monitor on your Infiniti, for example, uses its own bird's-eye stitching layout and its own moving-object setup — so if a shop runs the Nissan procedure on an Infiniti, the system might finish without throwing an error and then show you ghost objects or a misaligned 360 view in real driving. That's the kind of thing you don't notice until you're backing out of a tight spot.
The Q50 and Q60 with Direct Adaptive Steering are in a category of their own. There is no other mainstream passenger car in the U.S. that decouples the steering wheel from the rack the way Direct Adaptive Steering does — a mechanical clutch is there as a safety backup, but in normal driving, your wheel sends an electrical signal and the road wheels respond through an actuator. After a wheel alignment, suspension repair, steering-rack replacement, or certain battery disconnects, that system needs its zero point and torque map re-set. We see Q50s show up after a tire shop did an alignment, and suddenly the steering wheel sits a hair off-center and won't self-center the way it used to. That's a Direct Adaptive Steering setup issue, and a regular alignment rack alone doesn't fix it.
The Q50 itself is worth a moment. It launched in 2014 as Infiniti's replacement for the much-loved G37, and it is now the longest-running car in the Infiniti lineup — more than a decade on essentially the same platform, with the driver-assist features steadily evolving. A 2014 Q50 has a very different ProACTIVE setup than a 2024 Q50, even though they look related from the outside. Calibrating these cars means knowing which model-year version is sitting in front of us, because the camera bracket, the radar location, and the supported procedures all changed across the run. We pay attention to that. A lot of shops don't.

Infiniti dashboard messages that bring cars to ADC
Your Infiniti's dashboard and InTouch screen are pretty specific about which feature has gone offline. If you see any of these, a sensor or module is asking for service before the feature will come back:
- "Predictive Forward Collision Warning system fault"
- "Intelligent Cruise Control not available"
- "Intelligent Lane Intervention system fault"
- "Distance Control Assist not available"
- "Active Lane Control unavailable"
- "Direct Adaptive Steering system fault — see owner's manual"
- "Around View Monitor system fault"
- "Backup Collision Intervention not available"
- "Blind Spot Warning system fault"
How we calibrate your Infiniti
Every Infiniti job starts with a full factory-level scan using Infiniti's procedure book — not the Nissan one. We pull stored and pending fault codes across every module, not just the one you came in about, because ProASSIST and ProACTIVE issues frequently cascade. A corner radar code can quietly disable Intelligent Lane Intervention, and all you see on the dash is a generic ProACTIVE warning. We chase those down so the fix sticks.
Next we check that your car is at Infiniti-specified ride height, fuel level, and tire pressure, and that the alignment is in spec. Our bay is built for static calibration: a level floor, controlled lighting, and a measured target wall so we can place Infiniti's targets at the exact distance and height the procedure calls for. Around View Monitor calibration uses Infiniti's own mat layout — not the Nissan one — and we verify the result by checking the live stitched 360 view from the module, not just by clearing the code. On Direct Adaptive Steering cars, we re-set the steering angle, the torque map, and the road-wheel actuator reference, then road-test on a known-straight stretch to confirm the wheel sits centered.
Infiniti is slowly rolling out hands-free ProPILOT 2.0 on select models. Most of the current U.S. lineup is still on ProASSIST and ProACTIVE rather than the full hands-off system, but when ProPILOT 2.0 does show up on an Infiniti in our bay, the calibration adds GPS lock-on and HD-map setup on top of the usual camera and radar work. Either way, we document the before-and-after on every job, save the scan reports, and send them along with the invoice so you — and your insurer — have a clean paper trail.
Other Nissan brands we calibrate.
We calibrate the Infiniti family alongside its corporate siblings — same bay, same OEM-correct procedures.
Diagnose your Infiniti first.
Stored fault codes, prior damage, or a sensor that has lost its zero point can all block a calibration from completing. Our brand-correct diagnostic process for Infiniti catches that before the targets are even placed.
Questions about Infiniti ProASSIST, ProACTIVE & Direct Adaptive Steering.
Is Infiniti ProASSIST the same as Nissan ProPilot?
No. They share some hardware history, but Infiniti uses its own branding and its own service procedures. ProASSIST is the standard Infiniti driver-assist package; ProACTIVE is the upgrade tier with Active Lane Control, Distance Control Assist, and on the Q50 and Q60, Direct Adaptive Steering. We follow the Infiniti procedure on Infiniti vehicles, even when the related Nissan looks similar on paper.
What is Direct Adaptive Steering and why does it need calibration?
Direct Adaptive Steering is Infiniti's steer-by-wire system on the Q50 and Q60. In normal driving, the steering wheel and the road wheels are connected electrically rather than mechanically — there's a clutch as a safety backup. After any steering, suspension, alignment, or major electrical work, the steering zero point and the torque map have to be re-set, or the wheel won't self-center the right way and the car can feel just slightly off.
My nearest Infiniti dealer closed. Where do I get calibration done?
Infiniti has been shrinking its U.S. dealer network for several years, and Central Illinois owners feel that more than most. ADC is an independent calibration shop in Springfield that follows Infiniti's own service procedures, uses dealer-equivalent tools, and documents the work for your insurer. You don't need to drive hours to a corporate service center to get your Infiniti calibrated correctly.
Does my QX60 just need the Pathfinder procedure?
No, and that's a common mistake at shops that don't specialize. The QX60 shares a platform with the Pathfinder, but Infiniti's Around View Monitor, ProACTIVE setup, and module steps are not identical to the Nissan equivalents. We run the Infiniti procedure on your Infiniti.
I have a G37 — does it need this kind of calibration?
The G35 and G37 are older than the ProASSIST and ProACTIVE branding, but later G37s did include adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, and the Around View Monitor. If your G37 has any of those features, the cameras and radar still need to be calibrated after a windshield, bumper, or mirror-cap repair. We work on legacy Infinitis alongside the current lineup.
Does Infiniti have hands-free driving like Nissan's ProPILOT 2.0?
ProPILOT 2.0 hands-free is available on the Nissan Ariya and has been announced for select Infiniti models, but at the moment the U.S. Infiniti lineup is largely still on ProASSIST and ProACTIVE. When ProPILOT 2.0 makes its way to more Infinitis, the calibration will add GPS and HD-map setup on top of the standard camera and radar work — which we're already equipped to handle.
