Modern vehicles are equipped with increasingly sophisticated safety technology designed to help protect drivers, passengers and others on the road. These features are commonly known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and can include lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and other driver-assistance features. Many of these systems rely on cameras and sensors located on or near your vehicle’s windshield.
When a windshield is replaced, the position of an ADAS camera can be affected — even by a very small amount. Because these systems depend on precise measurements and positioning, ADAS calibration may be required after a windshield replacement to ensure the vehicle’s cameras and safety systems are operating according to manufacturer specifications. Proper calibration helps make sure your vehicle accurately recognizes lane markings, vehicles, obstacles and other important information while you’re driving.
At Legends Auto Glass, we understand that replacing today’s windshields involves more than simply installing a new piece of glass. When your vehicle is equipped with ADAS technology, we’ll determine whether calibration is required as part of your windshield replacement and make sure the necessary steps are taken to properly complete the job.
If your vehicle needs a windshield replacement and you’re unsure whether it has an ADAS camera or requires calibration, we’re happy to help. Legends Auto Glass provides professional windshield replacement and ADAS calibration services throughout Antrim, Charlevoix and Emmet Counties.
