At Harrs Auto Glass, we understand that your vehicle’s windshield does more than protect you from the elements; it plays a crucial role in the operation of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Modern vehicles come equipped with sensors and cameras integrated into the windshield that support features like lane departure warnings, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control. When a windshield is replaced, these systems need to be re-calibrated to ensure they function correctly. That’s where windshield re-calibration comes in.
Why Windshield Re-Calibration Matters
At Harrs Auto Glass, we understand that your vehicle’s windshield does more than protect you from the elements; it plays a crucial role in the operation of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Modern vehicles come equipped with sensors and cameras integrated into the windshield that support features like lane departure warnings, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control. When a windshield is replaced, these systems need to be re-calibrated to ensure they function correctly. That’s where windshield re-calibration comes in.
Why Windshield Re-Calibration Matters
For example:
• Lane departure warning systems may fail to detect a car drifting into your lane.
• Adaptive cruise control could react too late to sudden stops.
• Automatic emergency braking might not engage when necessary.
Ensuring that these systems are precisely re-calibrated is vital for your safety, and at Harrs Auto Glass, we have the technology and expertise to handle the job.
Our Windshield Re-Calibration Process
At Harrs Auto Glass, we follow a meticulous re-calibration process that includes:
1. Pre-Scan Diagnostic: Before starting the re-calibration, we perform a diagnostic scan of your vehicle’s ADAS to check for any existing issues.
2. Re-Calibration Procedure: Using specialized equipment, we adjust the cameras and sensors to meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
3. Post-Scan Verification: Once the re-calibration is complete, we conduct a final diagnostic scan to ensure all systems are working properly and error-free.
Types of Re-Calibration
• Static Re-Calibration: This process is done in a controlled environment using special equipment and targets to ensure that the ADAS system is perfectly aligned.
• Dynamic Re-Calibration: For some vehicles, re-calibration requires driving the vehicle at specific speeds on a well-marked road to allow the sensors to re-calibrate in real-time.
