Windshield Calibration
ADAS, short for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, comprises a suite of safety features and sensors designed to enhance driver safety. These systems include forward collision warning (FCW), lane departure warning (LDW), adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking (AEB). When a vehicle sustains damage and undergoes repair, its ADAS system must be precisely recalibrated to restore it to its pre-accident condition
Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that depend on sensors and cameras mounted on the windshield. Windshield calibration is the process of adjusting these systems after windshield replacement. It is a crucial step to ensure the proper functioning of the vehicle’s safety features. Our highly trained technicians specialize in ADAS recalibration, guaranteeing that your safety systems work flawlessly. By entrusting us with your windshield replacement and calibration, you can have peace of mind knowing that your vehicle’s safety features are accurately calibrated and ready to protect you on the road.
We offer a Mobile Windshield Calibration service alongside our Mobile Auto Glass services. Our mobile service lets our team come to you when it fits your schedule.
Why Is ADAS Windshield Calibration Crucial?
Post-Repair Alignment: After collisions, minor fender benders, or parts replacement, sensors may come out of alignment. For instance, a windshield-mounted forward ADAS camera requires windshield calibration after windshield replacement. Without it, safety features may not function optimally.
Maintaining Safety Standards: ADAS calibration ensures that all systems perform as designed, maintaining optimal safety standards. When sensors and cameras are precisely aligned, they interpret information correctly, providing accurate warnings and reliable assistance on the road . See the full list of why windshield calibration is vital below!
- Ensures accurate functioning: ADAS recalibration is crucial to ensure that advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) function accurately and provide the intended safety benefits.
- Preserves system reliability: Recalibration helps maintain the reliability of ADAS by ensuring that sensors, cameras, and other components are properly aligned and calibrated.
- Restores optimal performance: Over time, ADAS components may shift or become misaligned, affecting their performance. Recalibration restores the system to its optimal functioning.
- Enhances road safety: Properly calibrated ADAS systems help prevent accidents by providing accurate information and timely warnings to the driver.
- Supports windshield replacement: When a windshield is replaced, recalibration is necessary to ensure that the ADAS systems continue to work correctly with the new windshield.
- Adapts to changing road conditions: Recalibration allows ADAS systems to adapt to changing road conditions, ensuring that they can accurately detect obstacles, lane markings, and other important factors.
- Complies with manufacturer recommendations: Many vehicle manufacturers recommend regular ADAS recalibration to maintain system performance and ensure safety.
- Avoids false alarms and malfunctions: Misaligned or improperly calibrated ADAS systems may trigger false alarms or malfunctions, leading to driver distraction or reduced system effectiveness.
- Meets insurance requirements: Some insurance policies require ADAS recalibration after certain events, such as windshield replacement or collision repairs, to ensure coverage.
- Future-proofing your vehicle: As ADAS technology continues to evolve, windshield calibration helps future-proof your vehicle, ensuring compatibility with new features and advancements.
Note: Please ensure to consult with a professional technician or refer to your vehicle’s manual for accurate and specific information regarding ADAS recalibration.
