ADAS Calibration After Windscreen Replacement: What to Know

ADAS Calibration After Windscreen Replacement: What to Know

Many modern vehicles rely on cameras and sensors mounted near the windscreen for driver assistance features. Here’s what you should know about calibration after a replacement.

What Is ADAS Calibration?

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) – like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control – often use a camera mounted on or near the windscreen. When the windscreen is replaced, that camera may need to be recalibrated so it reads the road accurately.

Does Every Vehicle Need It?

Not every vehicle has ADAS features, and requirements vary by make and model. If your car has features like lane assist or forward collision warning, there’s a good chance calibration is required after windscreen replacement.
