When is ADAS Calibration Necessary?
Advanced safety systems are made up of various cameras, radars, and sensors mounted around the inside and outside of your vehicle. Any time one of these is disrupted by a collision or component replacement, calibration helps ensure they are still reading the road accurately. You should also reach out to a professional if you notice ADAS warning lights on your dashboard.
Forward-facing cameras specifically are often mounted to or near the inside of the front windshield. Their function depends on compatible glass, proper placement, and thorough calibration. Replacing the glass disrupts the camera, which is why experts strongly recommend professional calibration when you get a new windshield. Whether your system needs static or dynamic calibration, it is an important step in preventing malfunctions.
About Our ADAS Calibration Services in Lubbock
While many drivers understand the principle of calibration, the details of the process aren’t always clear. At AA&A Windshield & Glass, we follow industry-proven procedures, tailored to your vehicle, when performing ADAS calibrations.
For static calibration, this includes following manufacturer guidelines to set up specialized targets at specific distances in front of your vehicle. We use modern calibration technology to run through your vehicle’s entire calibration process. Each step is performed according to the needs of your safety systems. Dynamic calibration is a process where the vehicle runs the calibration process while being driven. Technicians follow specific procedures, including precise speeds, proper lane markings, and appropriate weather conditions, to ensure the calibration is successful. Our team also performs a post-scan after your calibration to check for any remaining malfunctions.
What Happens Without Professional ADAS Calibration
Auto glass professionals highly recommend getting an ADAS calibration after a windshield replacement because the service disturbs the forward-facing cameras on most modern vehicles. Without proper calibration, the camera cannot accurately interpret the road. Even millimeters of misalignment can lead to malfunctions. Common issues when ADAS calibration is skipped include:
- Automatic emergency braking failing to engage
- Lane departure warning providing inaccurate alerts
- Adaptive cruise control following too closely
- Forward collision warning detecting false events
AA&A Windshield & Glass keeps Lubbock drivers safe on the road with certified ADAS calibration that ensures your safety features function as intended.
