ADAS Recalibration: Why High-Tech Vehicles Need Specialized Windshield Service

If your vehicle has lane assist, adaptive cruise control, or automatic emergency braking, a simple windshield replacement isn’t enough — ADAS recalibration is critical to keep you safe.

What is ADAS and Why Does It Matter?

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems — a collection of safety features that use cameras, sensors, and radar to help prevent accidents. Common ADAS features include:

• Lane Departure Warning – alerts you if you drift out of your lane

• Forward Collision Warning – detects potential obstacles ahead

• Automatic Emergency Braking – applies the brakes if a collision is likely

• Adaptive Cruise Control – automatically adjusts your speed to traffic flow

These systems depend on precise calibration. Even a millimeter shift in your windshield’s position can affect how your ADAS reads the road — and your safety.

Why Windshield Replacement Requires ADAS Recalibration

When your windshield is replaced, the cameras and sensors mounted behind it are disturbed.If they’re not recalibrated:

• Your vehicle’s safety features may not work correctly

• Lane assist could misread lane markings

• Collision avoidance systems may react too late — or not at all

At Kale’s Auto Glass, we ensure that every windshield replacement on an ADAS-equipped vehicle includes proper recalibration.

Two Types of ADAS Recalibration

There are two main methods for restoring accuracy:

1. Static Calibration – Performed in a controlled shop environment using specialized equipment.

2. Dynamic Calibration – Performed on the road, driving the vehicle under specific conditions to allow the system to relearn.

Our certified technicians handle both methods depending on your vehicle’s requirements.

What Can Go Wrong Without Recalibration?

Skipping this step can lead to:

• False alerts or warning lights

• Failure of automatic braking or steering assistance

• Increased risk of accidents

• Insurance liability if safety systems are proven non-functional

Your car may look fine — but its invisible safety net could be gone.
