Accent Auto Glass Windshield Re-Calibration in Mesa, AZ

ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are a family of safety systems that are designed to work together to automate and enhance vehicle safety by alerting the driver to potential problems and avoid collisions.

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Forward Collision Alert
• Lane Departure Warning System
• Lane Keep Assist

The ADAS system usually includes a front facing camera that is mounted to the front windshield and when a windshield is replaced the camera must be removed and re-attached. Due to the changes in placement when replacing the windshield, differences with the mount the camera rests and differences of glass clarity, it will be critical to have the camera re-calibrated correctly to make sure everything is operational.

Windshield re-calibration is the process of adjusting the parameters of a camera lens to capture a complete image of the vehicle and road, guaranteeing that in-car ADAS systems receive accurate and reliable information. It is absolutely critical that the vehicle’s ADAS system is re-calibrated any time there is a change in any way to the windshield.

Static re-calibration consists of setting up a vehicle-specific target board a precise distance from the vehicle and finding the center of the vehicle. The camera is then re-calibrated via the scan tool connected to the vehicle’s computer and the target board aligns the vehicle.
