Recalibration after Windshield Replacement

To establish the technology is working correctly to keep you and your passengers safe, ADAS features require recalibration after a windshield replacement. A properly calibrated camera after a windshield installation is a critical safety measure.

All Service Glass Trained Technicians can replace your windshield and recalibrate your vehicle’s ADAS features. 

ADAS features may include but are not limited to: 

• Forward Collision Alert
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keep Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Collision Mitigation Braking System
• Driver Status Monitoring
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Pedestrian Detection
• Blind Spot Monitoring

ADAS calibration is the process of adjusting the camera lens to capture a complete image of the vehicle and road, guaranteeing that in-car ADAS systems receive accurate and reliable information.

ADAS systems work through a camera that is fitted to the center of the windshield. The camera then relays important information about the conditions of the road ahead to the ADAS system so that the vehicle knows when to activate automated safety measures.

This includes monitoring blind spots, pedestrians and proximity to other objects, so it is important that the camera is calibrated to offer the best possible view of the vehicle and road. 

After repairing or replacing windshields, these systems can be impaired and require adjustments from us to meet your Manufacturer’s standards for safety.

After a windshield install your vehicle's ADAS will need to be recalibrated.

A misaligned camera could jeopardize the functionality of the system and lead to dangerous accidents, so it is crucial that the cameras are aligned perfectly, which is what we at Calibration Masters ensure.

How do I get my car calibrated?

When customers are talking to an All Service Glass Representative to schedule your windshield replacement, the CSR may ask you a few questions about the vehicle regarding the ADAS system. If it is determined that you have an ADAS feature that needs to be calibrated, we will schedule the recalibration at the time of replacement. 

Vehicles with an ADAS enhance safety and convenience in the driving experience. Drivers are protected by ADAS through a variety of features that create a concentric safety net around the vehicle thereby reducing the danger of collision. Advanced safety measures that assist and alert drivers on the road are enabled by the forward-facing front cameras.

That simpler time has long gone with the advent of the ADAS.
