Introduction
In today’s high-tech vehicles, advanced safety systems are more than just a luxury — they’re a necessity. If your car is equipped with features like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control, you have an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). But did you know that a simple windshield replacement could throw these systems off? That’s where ADAS calibration comes in.
At Auto Glass Garland, we prioritize your safety by offering professional ADAS calibration services along with windshield repair and replacement.
What is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS calibration is the process of aligning the sensors and cameras in your vehicle that power safety features such as:
- Forward collision warning
- Lane-keeping assist
- Traffic sign recognition
- Blind spot monitoring
Most of these sensors are mounted on your windshield or bumper. After a windshield replacement, even a minor misalignment can make these features unreliable — or stop them from working altogether.
Why Calibration is Critical After Windshield Replacement
When your windshield is replaced, the camera mounted behind it is often removed and reinstalled. Even a fraction of an inch out of place can lead to inaccurate readings.
Improper calibration can result in:
- Lane departure systems not detecting lanes properly
- Collision warning systems triggering too early or too late
- False alerts or lack of alerts in dangerous situations
That’s why it’s crucial to have your ADAS recalibrated by trained professionals. At Auto Glass Garland, we follow manufacturer guidelines and use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your systems work just as they should.
Types of ADAS Calibration
There are two main types of calibration:
- Static Calibration – Performed in a controlled environment using a calibration tool and target board. The vehicle must remain stationary.
- Dynamic Calibration – Requires driving the vehicle under specific conditions. This allows the system to self-adjust and re-align using real-world data.
Some vehicles may need both, depending on the make and model.
How Do I Know if My Vehicle Needs ADAS Calibration?
If your vehicle has any of the following features, it likely needs ADAS calibration after a windshield replacement:
- A camera mounted near the rearview mirror
- A heads-up display
- Lane-keeping or auto-braking features
- Adaptive cruise control
Our technicians at Auto Glass Garland will inspect your vehicle and let you know exactly what’s required to keep your system functioning perfectly.
