If you've recently had your windshield replaced, your vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) may need recalibration to ensure all safety features work correctly. At CC Calibrations, we specialize in precise ADAS recalibration after windshield replacements, helping restore your vehicle’s safety and performance.
Why Is ADAS Calibration Necessary After Windshield Replacement?
Modern vehicles are equipped with cameras and sensors mounted on the windshield that power critical safety features, including:
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
When a windshield is replaced, these sensors can shift by just a few millimeters, leading to misalignment and inaccurate readings—putting you and others at risk. Proper calibration ensures these systems work as designed, keeping you safe on the road.
How Do We Calibrate Your ADAS After a Windshield Replacement?
At CC Calibrations, we follow a precise and manufacturer-approved process to ensure your vehicle’s ADAS functions correctly:
Step 1. Pre-Calibration Inspection
- Verify the new windshield is properly installed
- Check for any damage or obstructions affecting ADAS sensors
Step 2: Static Calibration
(In-Shop Setup)
- Performed in a controlled environment using OEM-approved calibration tools
- Targets and patterns are used to realign cameras and sensors
Step 3: Dynamic Calibration
(On-Road Testing)
- Involves driving the vehicle at specific speeds under set conditions
- Ensures real-time accuracy of ADAS sensors and cameras
Step 4: Final System Check & Verification
- Perform diagnostic scans to confirm proper alignment
- Test all safety features before returning your vehicle
How Long Does Windshield Calibration Take?
Most auto insurance policies cover ADAS recalibration after a windshield replacement, especially if the repair was done through your insurance claim. We work with all major insurance providers and can assist with the claims process.
