WINDSHIELD CALIBRATION (ADAS)
ADAS calibration, short for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems calibration, is essential for ensuring the effective operation of a vehicle's safety features. This process is crucial as ADAS involves a variety of technologies like sensors, cameras, and radar, all requiring precise alignment to enhance vehicle safety and optimize the driving experience.
WHY WINDSHIELD CALIBRATION?
When your windshield sustains damage and requires replacement, it's not just a matter of installing a new piece of glass. The intricate system that makes up your vehicle's ADAS demands meticulous attention to ensure optimal performance.
SENSOR REALIGNMENT
Many modern vehicles have sensors and cameras embedded in the windshield that are integral to ADAS. When the windshield is replaced, these sensors may be shifted or misaligned. Calibration is necessary to precisely realign these sensors.
CAMERA & RADAR CALIBRATION
ADAS features such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking rely on accurate data from cameras and radar systems. Calibration ensures that these components are calibrated according to the set manufacturer’s specifications.
ACCURACY OF SAFETY FEATURES
Proper calibration is essential for the accurate functioning of safety features. Misalignment or incorrect calibration may result in safety systems providing inaccurate information or not activating when needed, compromising the safety of the vehicle.
WINDSHIELD CALIBRATION AT LONDON AUTO GLASS
We understand the critical role ADAS plays in your safety. That's why, when you choose us for windshield replacement, you're not just getting a new windshield – you're getting a comprehensive service that includes expert recalibration.
PREVENTION OF MALFUNCTIONS
ADAS features are designed to enhance safety, but they can only do so if properly calibrated. Without calibration, there’s a risk of malfunctions, false readings, or unintended activations, leading to potential safety hazards.
MANUFACTURER STANDARDS
Recalibrating your windshield post-replacement ensures that your vehicle adheres to the manufacturer's safety standards. This not only safeguards you but also helps retain the resale value of your car.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE
ADAS calibration is a specialized task that requires professional expertise and specialized equipment. Trained technicians use calibration tools to ensure accurate sensor alignment and calibration.
