Why Camera Calibration Matters After Windshield Replacement
Proper calibration is a critical safety step for any vehicle equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). When a windshield is replaced, the forward-facing camera mounted to the glass may shift in angle or position, which can cause ADAS features to produce inaccurate readings.

Skipping calibration after a windshield replacement can compromise features that drivers rely on daily. Systems that may be affected include:
▸ Lane departure warning, which alerts drivers when drifting out of their lane without signaling.
▸ Forward collision detection, which monitors the distance between vehicles ahead.
▸ Automatic emergency braking, which may apply the brakes when a hazard is detected.
▸ Adaptive cruise control, which adjusts speed to maintain a safe following distance.
▸ Blind spot detection, which warns of vehicles in adjacent lanes.
