Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are revolutionizing road safety, from automatic braking to adaptive cruise control. But here’s the catch: replacing your windshield can throw these high-tech features out of whack. Without proper calibration, your car’s “smart” systems become unreliable. At Strada Auto Glass, we’re experts in post-replacement calibration, ensuring your vehicle performs as designed. Let’s break it down.
What is ADAS and How Does Windshield Replacement Affect It?
ADAS relies on cameras, radars, and sensors mounted behind the windshield. A new glass installation shifts their alignment, potentially disabling features or triggering warning lights.
Common ADAS Features at Risk
- Forward Collision Warning: Misaligned cameras could fail to detect obstacles.
- Lane Departure Assist: Slight offsets lead to false alerts or ignored drifts.
- Adaptive Headlights: Uneven calibration causes poor night visibility.
The Stats That Matter
- Over 80% of new vehicles have ADAS, per IIHS data.
- Uncalibrated systems contribute to 15% of tech-related failures.
- Proper calibration reduces accident risk by 40%.
