What Is ADAS Calibration?

ADAS calibration involves aligning the vehicle’s cameras and sensors to ensure the ADAS features work accurately.

These systems are highly sensitive, and even a minor misalignment can result in incorrect readings and potentially hazardous situations.

When your windscreen is replaced, the differences in the internal properties of each glass panel require ADAS realignment.

Our calibration process uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your vehicle’s ADAS is perfectly aligned with the new glass and functioning as the manufacturer intended.

The Importance of ADAS Calibration

Proper ADAS calibration is essential for several reasons:

  • Safety: Ensures all safety features, such as lane-keeping assist and collision avoidance systems, operate correctly.
  • Accuracy: Maintains the precision of your vehicle’s systems, preventing false alarms or missed warnings.
  • Compliance: Adheres to manufacturer specifications, ensuring your vehicle remains within acceptable guidelines.

When Is ADAS Recalibration Needed?

Recalibration is necessary after:

  • Windscreen Replacement: Any time the windscreen is replaced, the ADAS sensors and cameras must be recalibrated.
  • Significant Impacts: After events like a collision or severe pothole impact, recalibration ensures continued accuracy.
  • Routine Maintenance: Periodic checks ensure the long-term reliability of ADAS features.
