Understanding ADAS Calibration After Windshield Replacement | Auto Glass Garland

If your vehicle is equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), like lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, or automatic emergency braking, replacing your windshield is no longer a simple glass swap—it’s a high-tech service that requires ADAS calibration.

At Auto Glass Garland, we don’t just replace your windshield—we ensure your safety systems are recalibrated and working as they should. Here’s why it matters:


🚗 What Is ADAS?

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems—a suite of safety features that rely on cameras and sensors, often mounted to the windshield.

Common features include:

  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Collision Avoidance
  • Lane Keep Assist
  • Automatic Emergency Braking

These systems depend on precise camera alignment to function correctly.


🧰 Why Calibration Is Necessary After Windshield Replacement

Even if your new windshield looks perfect, the slightest shift in camera angle can throw off ADAS accuracy. This can result in:

  • Delayed or incorrect warnings
  • Misalignment of lane or vehicle detection
  • System deactivation or malfunction

That’s why ADAS recalibration is not optional—it’s essential for restoring your vehicle’s full safety features.


🔍 Types of ADAS Calibration

There are two types of calibration we perform at Auto Glass Garland:

  1. Static Calibration – Done in a controlled environment using special equipment and target boards.
  2. Dynamic Calibration – Requires driving the vehicle on well-marked roads at a set speed to allow cameras to recalibrate in real-world conditions.

Some vehicles require both. Our trained technicians follow manufacturer specs to ensure complete accuracy.
