ADAS Recalibration Explained: When, Why, and How It Works
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) like lane-keeping, automatic braking, and collision warnings save lives—but only if properly calibrated. Windshield replacement or repairs can misalign these critical sensors.
LAMAR AUTO GLASS in Ellenboro, NC provides expert ADAS recalibration with every glass service. Here’s everything you need to know.
When ADAS Recalibration is Required
Recalibration is mandatory after these events:
| Trigger | Why It Affects ADAS | Urgency |
|---|---|---|
| Windshield Replacement | Camera position shifts | Immediate |
| Minor Accident | Sensors jarred out of alignment | High |
| Wheel Alignment/Suspension Work | Changes vehicle geometry | Medium |
| Side/Rear Glass Repair | Affects secondary sensors | Check required |
Manufacturer requirement: Most brands demand recalibration after windshield work.
