HOW DOES ADAS IMPACT WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT?

Although new windshields may seem like simple glass, many incorporate sensors or forward-facing cameras. These components enable the vehicle to perceive its surroundings. Even a slight displacement of these sensors can disrupt the entire system. Some vehicles feature corrective systems that automatically respond to road conditions or hazards. Despite a sensor misalignment possibly being minuscule, it can translate to significant deviations on the road.

ADAS is not solely affected by windshield replacement; calibration becomes necessary whenever there's a change in the vehicle's centerline, including bumper replacements and wheel alignments. For instance, if your airbag deploys and deflects off the windshield, calibration is likely required. Calibration of vehicle warning systems can vary in complexity, ranging from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the vehicle model.
