Do You Need ADAS Calibration After a Repair?
Why replacing a windshield or repairing a bumper can require recalibrating your safety systems.
What the systems do
Lane-keeping, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise rely on cameras and radar that must be aimed precisely.
Repairs that trigger calibration
Windshield replacement, bumper or grille work, mirror replacement, structural repair and some alignments can all move or disturb a sensor.
How to tell
A warning light is one sign, but not always. Your vehicle's service information lists when calibration is required, and we check it for every repair.
Why not skip it
A sensor that's slightly off may not throw a warning, yet still misjudge distance or lane position when you need it most.
