After a windshield replacement, the ADAS cameras and sensors may be misaligned, causing incorrect readings and decreased accuracy in their functions. Calibrating the system ensures that all sensors are properly aligned and functioning accurately.
Many automakers require that ADAS systems be calibrated after a windshield replacement to maintain the integrity of the system and to comply with manufacturer guidelines.
If an accident occurs and the ADAS system was not properly calibrated after a windshield replacement, it could be argued that the driver was at fault for not maintaining the system, potentially leading to legal and financial liabilities.
ADAS systems are designed to improve safety on the road, but if they are not functioning properly, they can actually be a safety hazard. Calibrating the system after a windshield replacement ensures that the safety features are working as intended and that the driver and passengers are protected.
If a manufacturer requires ADAS calibration after a windshield replacement and the driver fails to have it done, they may void their warranty on the ADAS system.
A properly calibrated ADAS system can provide a better driving experience by ensuring that all safety features are functioning as intended, and by providing the driver with increased confidence on the road.
ADAS Calibration is the process of adjusting and aligning the cameras and sensors in an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) to ensure that they are functioning properly.
ADAS Calibration is necessary after a windshield replacement because the cameras and sensors may be misaligned during the replacement process, leading to incorrect readings and decreased accuracy in their functions. Calibrating the system ensures that all sensors are properly aligned and functioning accurately.
It is not recommended to calibrate an ADAS system yourself. ADAS Calibration requires specialized equipment and training, and should only be performed by trained technicians. Improper calibration can lead to incorrect readings and decreased accuracy in the system, potentially compromising the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
If ADAS Calibration is not performed, the cameras and sensors in the system may be misaligned, leading to incorrect readings and decreased accuracy in their functions. This can compromise the safety of the vehicle and its occupants, and may also void the manufacturer warranty on the ADAS system.
