Will Windshield Replacement Affect Your Car’s Safety System?
Today’s vehicles are equipped with more safety technology than ever before. Features like lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, forward collision alerts, and automatic emergency braking all rely on cameras and sensors that are often mounted to your windshield. If your windshield is damaged and needs to be replaced, it’s important to remember that installing new glass is only part of the job. Your vehicle may also require ADAS calibration to ensure these advanced safety systems continue working properly.
What Is ADAS Calibration?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use cameras and sensors to monitor the road and assist drivers with accident prevention. When a windshield is replaced, those cameras can shift ever so slightly, affecting their accuracy.
ADAS calibration realigns these systems to manufacturer specifications so they can accurately detect lane markings, other vehicles, pedestrians, and road hazards.
