THE IMPORTANCE OF ADAS WINDSHIELD CALIBRATION
ADAS calibration is essential after a windshield replacement because the sensors and cameras embedded in or near the windshield must be precisely aligned to function correctly. These systems rely on accurate data from components such as the steering angle sensor, ABS system, throttle position sensor, and parking assist system to ensure optimal performance. For example, the steering angle sensor helps ADAS features like lane-keeping assist interpret the vehicle’s direction, while the ABS and throttle position sensor contribute to functions like adaptive cruise control and emergency braking. Misalignment or improper calibration of these systems can lead to errors, reduced functionality, or even dangerous driving conditions. Proper calibration ensures that all ADAS features operate harmoniously and maintain the vehicle’s safety and efficiency standards.
Common Features of ADAS:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
Parking Assistance
Driver Monitoring Systems
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
