WINDSHIELD CALIBRATION (ADAS)
in Chicago & Suburbs
On-Site Auto Glass Service
Automotive windshields have become more complex over the years with more safety and features built in your windshield. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the last 10 years have become more available in newer vehicles. The front windshield is an essential piece to these advanced safety features. When a windshield needs to be replaced, it is crucial that your windshield front camera system has been calibrated. Flash Auto Glass has the most advanced equipment and software to properly calibrate your ADAS after having a new windshield installed.
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) Features
ADAS is more common in newer cars. There are many functions we have become accustomed to such as backup cameras to more advanced features like auto parking. Some other common ADAS features include:
• Parking Sensors
• Detection Systems
• Rear Crash Warning
• Lane Departure Warning
• Sleepy Driver Detection
• Avoiding Collision Sensor
• Blind-Spot Monitoring
• Adaptive Cruise Control
Why Proper ADAS Calibration Matters
Your ADAS cameras are very sensitive, which is why they are so accurate. Even small misalignments can cause malfunctions in your safety features. After a windshield replacement, the camera must be realigned and calibrated so systems like Lane Departure Alert and Collision Warning Systems continue to perform accurately. Flash Auto Glass provides precise ADAS calibration for all types of vehicles. Using advanced equipment and technology, our goal is to keep drivers safe on the road. Contact Flash Auto Glass today to schedule your mobile ADAS calibration in the Chicagoland area.
ADAS Calibration FAQs
How Long Does an ADAS Calibration Take?
Most calibrations can be completed within 30–90 minutes, depending on whether your vehicle requires static or dynamic calibration, or both. Your auto glass technician will be able to tell you exactly what your vehicle requires.
What Is the Difference Between Static and Dynamic Calibration?
Static calibration involves specialized targets that we expose to your ADAS technology. We use advanced equipment to calibrate the system using these targets. Dynamic calibration occurs when a certified auto glass technician takes your vehicle onto the road, exposing it to traffic, signs, and road markings in real time.
Will My Insurance Cover an ADAS Calibration After My Windshield Replacement?
In most cases, comprehensive insurance policies will include windshield calibration in your replacement coverage. Many insurance companies even require it because it restores the safety of your vehicle.
What Happens If I Don’t Get an ADAS Calibration After My Windshield Replacement?
If you do not get an ADAS calibration after your windshield replacement, your safety features may be inaccurate or malfunction. This could put your safety, your passengers’ safety, and other drivers’ safety at risk, which is why calibration is so important.
