Glass Monkey has OEM dealer quality equipment that lets us provide the highest level of recalibration on the vehicles we work on! ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are now commonly being built into many of the newer vehicles that have been made within the last 10 years. The front windshield of these vehicles with ADAS must be calibrated with the vehicle’s camera system in order to function properly. Glass monkey uses the most advanced ADAS calibration technology to make sure the ADAS system is functioning correctly. To learn more about ADAS calibration, contact us today!
What is ADAS?
ADAS stands for “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.” The main purpose of ADAS is to aid in the operation of a vehicle more effectively and safely by improving the owner’s reaction to dangerous situations on the road by providing early warning and system automation. These systems rely mainly on sensors and/or cameras mounted around the vehicle including one on the front of your windshield.
Do I Need ADAS Calibration?
Driver assistance functions such as Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Pre-Collision Warning, and Adaptive Cruise Control are some of the most common ADAS systems that use mounted cameras on your windshield. The windshield calibration service is necessary to ensure these systems work properly and will not malfunction. These features are very complicated systems and if the newly installed windshield is not completed perfectly, it can give these assistance sensors a different point of view, causing them to malfunction. Even a 1 degree difference in your windshield can cause major issues and cause a possible motor vehicle accident. You should have your ADAS systems calibrated after completing any type of vehicle maintenance, not only windshield replacements.
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) Features
Windshield calibration is needed in newer vehicles when replacing a windshield. These safety features built into your vehicle are becoming very common. Some common ADAS features include:
- Lane Departure
- Rear Crash Warning
- Parking Sensors
- Wiper Sensors
- Driver Awareness Sensors
- Collision Avoidance
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Adaptive Cruise Control
ADAS Calibration FAQs
Why Is ADAS Calibration Necessary After a Windshield Replacement?
Windshield calibration is needed because many newer cars have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features that rely on cameras and sensors mounted near the front of the windshield. After a new windshield is installed, these systems must be aligned so safety features like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and many other important safety features work correctly.
Do You Offer ADAS Calibration Along With Windshield Replacement?
Yes. Glass Monkey uses advanced calibration equipment to provide high-quality ADAS calibration services after windshield replacement. This ensures that the vehicle’s safety systems are aligned to work as intended by the manufacturer.
How Does Calibration Fit Into the Overall Auto Glass Service?
Windshield calibration is part of the complete auto glass service that Glass Monkey provides. After replacing the glass, our technicians recalibrate the vehicle’s systems to ensure proper operation, supporting both visibility and advanced safety features.
Do You Provide ADAS Calibration for All Vehicle Types?
Glass Monkey offers windshield calibration for any vehicle equipped with ADAS that requires it. Our technicians are trained to handle calibration on a wide range of personal and commercial vehicles.
Is Calibration Needed Only for Windshield Replacement or at Other Times Too?
Windshield calibration is most commonly needed after a new windshield is installed, but it can also be required after other maintenance that affects sensor or camera positioning. This can include collision repairs or changes to suspension or alignment.
Can Calibration Prevent Safety System Errors or Malfunctions?
Yes. Without proper calibration, ADAS systems can give inaccurate alerts or fail to recognize hazards correctly. Even small misalignments in the windshield camera can affect system performance, so calibration helps maintain the accuracy of those safety systems over time.
