If your vehicle is equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, and collision avoidance, you rely on these features for added safety. However, did you know that replacing your windshield affects these systems? That’s why ADAS calibration is a crucial step after windshield replacement.
What is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS calibration ensures that the cameras and sensors in your vehicle’s windshield are properly aligned and functioning correctly. These systems rely on precise positioning, and even a slight misalignment can cause them to malfunction, putting your safety at risk.
Why ADAS Calibration is Necessary
-
Ensures Accuracy: Proper calibration restores the correct positioning of ADAS components, allowing them to function as intended.
-
Maintains Safety: A misaligned camera could lead to incorrect lane departure warnings or delayed braking responses, increasing the risk of accidents.
-
Required by Manufacturers: Many vehicle manufacturers require ADAS recalibration after a windshield replacement to comply with safety standards.
How ADAS Calibration Works
ADAS calibration is a complex process that involves specialized equipment and software to adjust the vehicle’s sensors. The process typically falls into two categories:
-
Static Calibration: Conducted in a controlled environment where special targets and equipment are used to align the sensors.
-
Dynamic Calibration: Performed while driving to ensure the sensors adjust accurately to real-world conditions.
Both methods are essential to guarantee your vehicle’s safety features work correctly and keep you protected on the road.
