Safety Systems Recalibration (ADAS)
Ensure the proper functioning of your driving aids after a window replacement.
Modern vehicles incorporate advanced safety technologies, called ADAS ( Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ), such as:
- automatic emergency braking.
- lane departure warnings.
- distance sensors.
- traffic sign recognition.
These systems are directly linked to the windshield or other glass units equipped with sensors and cameras. After replacing a window, it is mandatory to recalibrate these devices so that they continue to operate accurately and safely .
When should ADAS recalibration be performed?
Recalibration is essential in the following cases:
* Windshield replacement (even if ADAS appears to be working)
* Front camera relocation or disconnection
* Bumper or chassis alignment work
* ADAS malfunction indicator light on dashboard illuminates
Some manufacturers systematically require recalibration after each replacement windshield . It is a safety and legal operation .
