When is ADAS Calibration Necessary?
Gone are the days when features like backup cameras or seat belts were the pinnacle of vehicle safety. Modern vehicles offer a revolution in automotive safety thanks to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Unlike traditional safety components, ADAS involves a complex array of sensors and cameras, such as radar and LiDAR, designed to gather extensive data about the vehicle’s surroundings.
Understanding The Importance of ADAS
Many modern vehicles come equipped with some package of ADAS features. ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are responsible for safety features like lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, forward collision alert, and more. If you have a backup camera or a camera installed at the top of your windshield, your vehicle is likely equipped with an ADAS. These cameras receive feedback from the road and deliver it to your vehicle’s ADAS. The ADAS pieces the information together and applies the appropriate safety features to help keep you safe.
Should I Recalibrate My ADAS After Replacing My Windshield
Failure to recalibrate your ADAS after you replace your windshield can result in the cameras and systems being out of sync. This can cause your advanced safety systems to malfunction, which can be very dangerous.
