Calibrating the ADAS after a windshield replacement could save lives.
Advanced driver assistance systems are taking over, utilizing sensors and cameras to identify potential danger before you do. They’ll even take corrective action where needed – like keeping you between the lines when lane-drifting or maintaining speed along with traffic for maximum convenience (and safety!) These features are critical to your safety and your car’s performance, so call Moxie Auto Care & Glass Repair at 620.416.0008 when it’s time to get your windshield replaced or you need your ADAS system calibrated after an accident.
Calibration is the process of adjusting the sensors and cameras in an ADAS system to ensure that they are properly aligned and able to accurately detect the surrounding environment. This is an important step because even a slight misalignment can affect the performance of the system and potentially compromise its ability to provide assistance to you, the driver.
Calibrating an ADAS system typically involves placing the vehicle on a specialized calibration machine and using specialized tools and software to align the sensors and cameras. This process can be complex and time-consuming, and it is best performed by the trained professionals with the appropriate equipment and expertise at Moxie Auto Care & Glass Repair.
There are a few reasons why ADAS calibration may be necessary. One common reason is if the vehicle has been in an accident and the sensors or cameras have been damaged or knocked out of alignment. In this case, the ADAS system may not work properly until it is calibrated.
Another reason for ADAS calibration is if the vehicle has had any work done that could potentially affect the sensors or cameras, such as a front-end collision repair or a windshield replacement. In these cases, the ADAS system may need to be calibrated to ensure that it continues to function properly.
It is also important to note that ADAS systems can lose their calibration over time, even if the vehicle has not been involved in an accident or had any work done. In these cases, it may be necessary to have the system calibrated periodically to ensure that it is functioning properly.
ADAS calibration is an important step to ensure that these systems are working properly and providing the maximum benefit to the driver. If you have an ADAS-equipped vehicle, it is important to have the system calibrated by a trained professional to ensure that it is functioning properly and providing the added safety and convenience that it was designed to provide.
