Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that rely on precision sensors, cameras, and radar—many of which are mounted directly on or near your windshield. After a windshield replacement, these systems must be recalibrated to ensure they function safely and accurately.

What Is ADAS?

ADAS includes features like:

  • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

  • Forward Collision Alert

  • Automatic Emergency Braking

  • Adaptive Cruise Control

These systems improve driver safety—but only when they’re correctly calibrated.

Why Recalibration Is Essential

When your windshield is removed and replaced, even a millimeter of misalignment can throw off your vehicle’s sensors. Without recalibration, your vehicle may:

  • Give false alerts

  • Fail to detect hazards

  • Cause unsafe driving conditions
