ADAS Calibration: Restoring Your Vehicle's Safety After Windshield Replacement

What is ADAS Calibration?

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems. This technology includes a range of intelligent safety features designed to assist drivers, such as:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking

  • Lane Departure Warning

  • Adaptive Cruise Control

  • Lane Keep Assist

Many of these sophisticated systems rely on a forward-facing camera precisely mounted to the windshield. When a windshield is replaced, the camera's original alignment is disturbed, which can affect the accuracy of these crucial safety features.

ADAS calibration is the process of realigning this camera to meet the vehicle manufacturer's exact specifications, ensuring your safety systems function correctly after a new windshield is installed.

The Importance of ADAS Recalibration for Modern Vehicles

Professional ADAS recalibration is an essential step in modern windshield replacement. Without it, the vehicle's safety systems may not work as designed. This process is about restoring your vehicle's factory-calibrated safety standards.

  • Manufacturer Requirements: Most vehicle manufacturers, including top brands like Honda, Toyota, Ford, and Subaru, require ADAS calibration after a windshield replacement. We follow these precise protocols to ensure your vehicle remains safe and compliant.

  • Precision is Key: The ADAS camera is designed to work with an extremely high degree of accuracy. Even a minor misalignment of a single degree can cause the system's sensors to be off by several feet at a distance, affecting its ability to detect obstacles or lane markings.

  • Ensuring System Reliability: A proper calibration restores the camera's precise field of vision, allowing all your ADAS safety features to operate reliably and effectively, giving you confidence on the road.

Our ADAS Calibration Process

At Auto Glass Native, we use specialized diagnostic tools and equipment to perform ADAS calibrations. We follow a detailed, two-step process depending on your vehicle's specific needs.

  1. Static Calibration: This procedure is performed inside our facility while your vehicle is stationary. Our certified technicians use specialized targets and a computer to precisely align the camera to the vehicle's specifications. This ensures the system's baseline settings are correct before any on-road testing.

  2. Dynamic Calibration: This process is completed with a test drive. The technician drives the vehicle on a predetermined route, allowing the camera to recalibrate itself using real-world data from lane markings and road signs. Our team performs both types of calibration as required to ensure full system functionality.
