Why It's Important To Calibrate Your Vehicle's ADAS Camera After Replacing Your Windshield.
The wonderful thing about newer vehicles as they hit the marketplace is the amount of new-age technology built into their design to create a safer driving experience. What many don't realize is that a percentage of that technology is built into your vehicles auto-glass.
If your vehicle has an Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) is important that its camera be calibrated:
-
After every windshield replacement
-
Anytime your vehicle is in an accident (however minor)
-
If you see an error code
-
Whenever the camera gets disconnected
Systems affected by ADAS include senors, such as those utilized for:
-
Lane departure
-
Collision avoidance
-
Parking assist
-
Adaptive cruise control and more
These systems rely upon lasers, radar and cameras, that are typically mounted to your vehicles windshield.
