ADAS WINDSHIELD CALIBRATION

---

 ADAS stands for “Advanced Driver(s) Assistance Systems”. These systems rely upon cameras, lasers, and radar – often with the camera mounting to the windshield. Any time a new windshield is installed, the camera must be calibrated to ensure proper functionality and to restore the camera to OEM specifications.

Examples of ADAS: 

 Lane Departure Warning

• Lane Change Assistance
• Collison Avoidance System
• Parking Sensor
• Pedestrian Protection System 
• Blind Spot Monitoring

 Calibration is the process of returning a vehicle’s ADAS to OEM specifications Calibration is necessary after a new glass installation, particularly a windshield with a camera mounted to it, to ensure that the ADAS features continue to function properly despite having been moved during installation. 

 Windshield calibration typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Even though it sounds simple, the calibration is a complex process that requires specialized equipment and training.

Windshield Calibration Services uses Autel MaxiSys System, a custom calibration tool from Autel. When connected with a vehicle’s computer Autel MaxiSys System starts the optimization process of windshields cameras alignment and restores cameras to the manufacturer’s specifications. Each of our technicians is Autel trained and certified. Our mission is to make driver assistance systems safe – again!  For the fastest response to your windshield camera calibration needs calls us today at (972) 379-8861. 

If a car’s ADAS is not properly calibrated, the system may not function safely. If the cameras/radars/lasers on the vehicle are off by even a few millimeters they may not give accurate readings and the system may not function properly.

A misaligned camera could jeopardize the functionality of the system and lead to dangerous driving or accidents, so it is crucial that the cameras are aligned perfectly, which is what windshield calibration ensures.
