At On Demand Auto Glass, our #1 priority is the safety of you and your passengers. We know when you replace your vehicle's windshield, it is crucial that your Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS ) is recalibrated to maintain safety. Your ADAS relies on sensors, cameras, and radars to provide essential features like lane-keeping assist, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control. Recalibration ensures that the sensors and cameras are correctly aligned, allowing your ADAS to function as intended. Skipping this step could lead to incorrect readings and delayed responses.

Why Recalibration is Necessary

Your ADAS relies on sensitive sensors and cameras to work properly. Replacing the windshield can slightly shift these components, leading to inaccurate readings or malfunction. Having your ADAS recalibrated by a professional technician, like we have at On Demand Auto Glass, will ensure that these systems remain precisely aligned, preserving your safety and the effectiveness of your vehicle's advanced features.

When Recalibration is Required:

When replacing your windshield, it’s easy to overlook the need for recalibrating your Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), but skipping this step can have serious consequences. ADAS features, such as lane-keeping assist and automatic emergency braking, rely on precise sensor alignment to function correctly. Even a minor misalignment during windshield replacement can lead to inaccurate data, reducing the effectiveness of these critical safety systems. Recalibration ensures that all sensors and cameras are properly aligned, maintaining the accuracy and reliability of your ADAS. By prioritizing recalibration, you ensure that your vehicle's safety features continue to protect you as designed.

The Recalibration Process

 The two main types of ADAS calibration: static and dynamic:

Static calibration
This method is performed in a controlled environment, such as an auto repair shop, while the vehicle is parked. The auto should be on a level floor, under specific lighting, and with no reflective surfaces. At On Demand Auto Glass, our professional technicians use specialized tools and targets to focus the sensors and cameras on fixed positions. ADAS system calibration machines are used to ensure the sensors meet a set of targets defined by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

Dynamic calibration
This method involves a professional technician using a specialized scan tool that is connected to the ADAS. The calibration process varies by OEM, but may include driving at specific speeds and conditions, such as on clearly marked roads, following other vehicles, and avoiding curved roads. Dynamic calibration ensures that the ADAS can accurately interpret real-world data. In some cases, two technicians may be required, with one driving the vehicle and the other operating the scan tool. At On Demand Auto Glass, we make sure the system is operating properly before you hit the road.
