If your vehicle has suffered damage and requires a new windshield, it’s vital that the front-facing camera that controls many of the car’s ADAS systems is recalibrated. When your windshield is replaced, every millimeter counts. If the new windshield is even a couple of millimeters off-center, it will affect the view of your vehicle’s forward-facing camera. Millimeters off-center can equal feet in the view of your camera; meaning functions like “lane keep assistance” and “lane departure warning” will malfunction, either overcorrecting or under correcting, causing dangerous driving conditions and increasing the potential for accidents. It’s vital that every time your windshield is replaced or adjusted, that your vehicle’s front-facing camera is recalibrated.
With new technology comes new responsibilities. The ADAS technologies in your car are only as good as the way they’re calibrated. Home to sensors and small cameras, a car’s windshield is a vital component of its ADAS system. The replacement of a front windshield can have a major impact on the function of a car’s safety system. Even the smallest change to the position of the windshield can result in a dangerous change in the system’s function.
At CARCAL, we’ve taken a proactive approach to vehicle technology advances and are proud to serve the needs of modern car owners.
