Why ADAS Calibration is Critical After Windshield Replacement

When your windshield is replaced, it’s easy to think the job is done once the new glass is installed. However, if your vehicle is equipped with an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), there’s one critical step you should never skip: recalibrating your ADAS.

ADAS systems, such as Lane Departure Warning, Emergency Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), rely on cameras and sensors mounted on your windshield to function correctly. Even the slightest shift during windshield replacement can throw these systems out of alignment — compromising your safety on the road.

What Happens If You Skip ADAS Calibration?
Failing to recalibrate your ADAS after a windshield replacement can result in:

🚫 Incorrect lane assist alerts
🚫 Delayed or non-functioning emergency braking
🚫 Malfunctioning traffic sign recognition
🚫 Poor adaptive cruise control performance
These issues not only increase your risk of an accident but could also affect your vehicle insurance or MOT test results.

When is ADAS Calibration Needed?
You should always schedule a calibration if:

✅ Your windshield was replaced
✅ You were involved in a collision
✅ Suspension, wheel alignment, or steering components were repaired
✅ Your dashboard warning lights related to driver assistance features come on

At ADAS Yorkshire, we recommend recalibrating immediately after any of these events to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems are working as intended.
