Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my vehicle need ADAS calibration after a windscreen replacement?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems rely on cameras and sensors that are often mounted to or aligned with the windscreen. When the glass is replaced, even a slight shift in position can throw these systems out of alignment. Calibration ensures features like lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control and emergency braking continue to function as designed. Without it, safety systems may give false alerts or fail to activate when needed.
How long does an ADAS calibration usually take?
Calibration can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Some vehicles require static calibration in a workshop setting, while others need a dynamic road test using specialised equipment. The process is detailed, as precise alignment is critical to ensure accuracy of safety systems. It’s best to allow extra time in case multiple tests are required for confirmation.
What could happen if ADAS calibration is skipped?
If calibration is not completed, your vehicle’s safety systems may not perform correctly. Cameras could misread lane markings, sensors may misjudge distances, and automated emergency responses might not trigger. This not only reduces the effectiveness of safety features, it could also impact your vehicle’s roadworthiness and insurance compliance. Skipping calibration puts both the driver and passengers at unnecessary risk.
What does an ADAS do?
Utilising camera and radar technology, these systems take in data from your surroundings and are often used in conjunction with features like automatic emergency braking and cruise control.
Many systems can also provide information about road closures, congestion levels, driving performance and precautionary alerts, as well as helping the driver perform manoeuvres like parking and overtaking.
The features of your system depend on the type and age of your vehicle. Some newer systems exchange information with centres of infrastructure and transportation, which in turn facilitates future development and road planning.
Why Does It Need To Be Calibrated?
To ensure the precision of your system and the safety of your vehicle, our team will calibrate your ADAS in accordance with the specifications outlined by the manufacturer.
We believe in providing the best possible service for our clients, which is why we check your system is running exactly as intended. If your car needs a windscreen replacement and also has an ADAS, contact Roadrunner Windscreens in Grafton today.
