If your vehicle has features like lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control, you are relying on a complex network of safety systems every time you drive. This is known as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).

Many of these advanced safety features rely heavily on a forward-facing camera mounted directly behind your rearview mirror. When we replace your windshield, even a fraction of a millimeter of misalignment can throw off your vehicle's safety systems.

At Auto Glass Xperts, we perform professional, certified ADAS calibration alongside your windshield replacement to keep you safe on the road.

What is ADAS and Why Does It Matter?

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems act as an extra set of eyes on the road. They use cameras, radar, lasers, and ultrasound sensors to monitor your surroundings.

If your camera's angle is off by just one degree, its view of the road ahead could be off by several meters down the highway. This tiny error can cause your car to:

Drift out of its lane before warning you
Apply emergency brakes too late, or when there is no hazard at all
Fail to maintain a safe distance when using Adaptive Cruise Control

When Is ADAS Calibration Required?

Your vehicle's forward-facing camera must be recalibrated whenever its physical position or the angle of the windshield changes. You will need a calibration if:

You replace your windshield: The camera must be detached from the old glass and mounted to the new one.
Your vehicle is in an accident: Even a minor fender bender can shift sensitive radar and camera mounts.
You change your suspension: Raising, lowering, or leveling your vehicle changes the camera's height relative to the road.
You get a wheel alignment: This alters the vehicle's thrust line, meaning the camera's forward-looking path must be adjusted.

How We Calibrate Your Vehicle

Depending on your vehicle's make and model, we use two highly precise calibration methods to restore your safety systems to exact manufacturer specifications.

Static Calibration

This takes place in a highly controlled environment. We set up physical target boards at mathematically precise distances and heights in front of your vehicle. Using specialized diagnostic tablets connected to your car's computer (OBD-II port), we command the camera to lock onto these targets and reprogram its baseline.

Dynamic Calibration

This requires driving your vehicle on the road at a set speed under specific weather and road conditions. Our certified technicians plug a handheld diagnostic device into your car and drive it on clearly marked roads, allowing the camera to naturally map the lanes and traffic flow to recalibrate itself.
