You may be surprised to know that your safety features are directly connected to your windshield—so if your car gets jostled or you replace your windshield, and your features aren’t working—it’s time for calibration. Should you need a windshield calibration installation & repair service in Bellevue, look no further than Joe’s Glass Co.
While you may have heard of windshield calibration before, you may not be completely familiar with what it means or why you may need one. If you’re driving an older car, likely, you wouldn’t need one. Still, if you’re driving a newer make or model of vehicle that has a safety features package and those safety features are not working, then it’s likely that you may need a tweak and a windshield recalibration.
There’s a safety features system installed in many vehicles known as ADAS, or Advanced Driver(s) Assistance System. It includes safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, parking assist, pedestrian protection, lane departure warning, automatic cruise control, headlight control, and others. If you notice that these features are suddenly not working (or you have replaced your windshield entirely, in which case they certainly would not work), then it’s time for a calibration.
The ADAS is connected to your windshield via radar, lasers, and cameras, so if you’re in a minor collision or the cameras get bumped accidentally, you’ll need a calibration. Sometimes you may get an error or fault code that will require calibration as well. It’s a quick and simple job that is an “in and out.”
