Winshield Camera recalibration
What Is ADAS reCalibration?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) rely on cameras, sensors, and radar technology to enhance driving safety. These systems support various safety functions, including:
Pedestrian Detection
Pedestrian detection technology continuously monitors a vehicle’s surroundings to identify potential hazards. When a pedestrian, cyclist, or animal is detected, the system alerts the driver through audible, visual, or haptic signals. In many advanced vehicles, this feature can also activate automatic emergency braking to help prevent collisions.
Traffic sign recognition
Similar to the pedestrian detection feature, the traffic sign recognition system detects and interprets road signs such as speed limits, “Do Not Enter,” and stop signs. The system then presents this information as a graphic or icon on the instrument cluster, infotainment screen, or another in-vehicle display, helping drivers stay informed and focused on the road.
Lane departure warning
While changing lanes isn’t always dangerous, failing to use turn signals can greatly increase the risk of an accident. Lane departure warning systems help prevent this by alerting drivers with an audible or visual warning when the vehicle unintentionally drifts into another lane without signaling.
Lane keep assist
Lane Keep Assist complements the lane departure warning system by automatically guiding the vehicle back toward the center of the lane after a warning is triggered. This feature is especially helpful when the driver is unable to react quickly enough on their own.
Forward collision alert
The forward collision alert system continuously tracks the distance between your vehicle and the one in front. If that gap narrows too much, the system issues a warning signal to alert the driver of a possible collision risk.
Adaptive cruise control
Conventional cruise control lets drivers maintain a steady speed over long distances without using the accelerator, disengaging when the brakes are applied. Adaptive cruise control offers the same convenience but goes a step further—it automatically adjusts the vehicle’s speed to keep a safe distance from the car ahead.
The Importance of Windshield Camera reCalibration
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) depend on the exact alignment of cameras, sensors, and radar units installed on your windshield. Even slight adjustments or replacements can throw these components out of recalibration. To ensure safety and accuracy, professional recalibration is necessary, as ADAS components do not self-adjust. Without proper expert calibration, these systems could malfunction—potentially causing accidents rather than preventing them.

does insuranance covers recalibration
Whether your car insurance covers recalibration depends on your policy. Many full-coverage plans do cover windshield replacement and windshield recalibration. Consumer has relationships with major insurance companies across the nation and can help you understand whether your policy will cover this expense.
RECALIBRATION, IS IT REALLY A CHOICE
If you choose not to have your vehicle calibrated after an installation, wheel alignment, or major auto body repair, your ADAS features may not function properly without the recalibration being completed, so this is something that really should be done. If your repair is being handled by your insurance company, this should be part of your claim and will be paid under the original claim with the one deductible. If you are unsure or need assistance with adding this to your insurance claim, our team of insurance experts would be glad to help you.
