Recalibration, and When Does My Car Need It?
Vehicle manufacturers require that when replacing a damaged windshield, the forward-facing camera connected to it must also be recalibrated.
Replacing a cracked or damaged windshield is an important part of keeping yourself and your family safe in your vehicle. But did you know that when doing this, vehicle manufacturers require that the camera connected to your windshield be recalibrated as well?
What Do Advanced Safety Systems Do?
Most new cars come equipped with advanced safety features. These advanced systems — sometimes called advanced driver assistance safety systems (ADAS) — offer a range of safety features. These include:
- lane keep assist, which helps drivers stay in their lanes
- forward collision warning, which warns drivers with audio or visual signals when they need to brake
- automatic emergency braking, which activates the brakes if the system detects an imminent collision.
- adaptive cruise control, where drivers can set a speed and the car will automatically keep an adequate distance from other drivers
- lane departure warnings to stop drivers from drifting; and more.
Together, these safety systems are designed to reduce the risk and severity of collisions by creating a safety net around the vehicle. The features work together to look out for the driver from every direction, helping to keep them safe and alert while on the road.
Because most of these safety features are enabled by the forward-facing camera, recalibration is required when replacing a windshield, so these features continue to work properly.
