If you have a forward-facing camera attached to your windshield, it’s most likely a part of your car’s advanced safety systems, commonly referred to as advanced driver assistance safety systems (ADAS). These systems are designed to enhance your driving experience and provide additional safety measures while on the road.
When your windshield needs to be replaced, the camera connected to it must be recalibrated as required by most vehicle manufacturers.
Windshield Replacement Tech can complete both the windshield replacement and safety system recalibration in one appointment to maintain proper camera and safety system functionality.
With the increasing number of vehicles equipped with advanced safety systems, almost all car brands mandate recalibration of safety systems after windshield replacement. Our technicians at Windshield Replacement Tech have the expertise to perform the recalibration process, ensuring your vehicle’s safety on the road.
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) form a safety net around vehicles to help reduce collision risks, providing a range of capabilities to protect drivers. Front-facing cameras are used to enable advanced safety features, aiding and warning drivers on the road.
Working together, ADAS camera systems enhance vehicle safety by warning drivers of potential issues and helping them avoid collisions. Some features include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane assist, lane departure warning, pedestrian detection, collision avoidance, and more. Proper camera operation is critical to the vehicle’s advanced safety system.
Windshield Replacement Tech offers windshield replacement and recalibration for forward-facing front cameras, ensuring proper operation of your vehicle’s advanced safety system.
*Recalibration availability may vary by vehicle and location.
To recalibrate the camera system, it is necessary to drive the vehicle on clearly-marked roads at a specific speed. The duration of the process varies depending on the vehicle’s make and model, but it usually takes an hour or more.
During the recalibration process, a specific target image is mounted on a fixture in front of the vehicle. The process usually takes an hour or more, depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
It’s crucial to have a reliable expert with recalibration capability to ensure your vehicle’s advanced safety system operates optimally.
