Why You Need ADAS Calibration

Shows the diagnostic step or calibration target in use.

ADAS calibration isn’t optional. It’s a required safety step every time your windshield is replaced or impacted. The sensors behind your windshield are designed to read the road and assist in split-second decisions that help prevent collisions. Even a minor misalignment can cause these systems to give inaccurate readings:

Lane departure warnings

Forward collision alerts

Lane Keep Assist

Automatic emergency braking

Adaptive cruise control

When calibration is skipped or done improperly, these features may fail to respond as intended. That puts you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road at risk.

At Advance Auto Glass, we ensure that every windshield calibration is completed with exact precision. Our goal isn’t just to replace your glass; it’s to make sure every safety system tied to it performs exactly as the manufacturer designed.

When You Need Windshield Calibration

Your vehicle needs ADAS recalibration whenever your windshield, camera, or sensor system has been adjusted or affected. Most commonly, calibration is needed after:

A Windshield Replacement

Even a perfect installation requires calibration for your safety systems to function correctly.

Camera Disconnection or Removal

If the camera has been unplugged for any reason, you’ll need recalibration.

A Collision or Impact

Small accidents or potholes can shift your cameras or sensors.

ADAS Warning Lights or Malfunction Indicators

You’ll need professional recalibration if your vehicle displays a safety system error message.

Even something as small as replacing a wiper arm can impact the position of your camera. That’s why Advance Auto Glass checks and calibrates all ADAS systems during every qualifying service.

If you’re unsure whether your vehicle needs calibration, our team can check for you on-site. We’ll verify your car’s systems and let you know exactly what’s required to keep you safe: no guesswork, no unnecessary steps.

At Advance Auto Glass, we do things differently. Our technicians handle both the windshield replacement and calibration in-house, during the same visit. There’s no outsourcing, no transferring your car from one shop to another, and no added downtime.
