If you’re experiencing problems with your ADAS and need a windshield calibration installation & repair service in Monroe, Joe’s Glass Co. can help.
Having a newer vehicle certainly comes with its benefits. Not only do you get luxury features, but your vehicle is likely equipped with safety features as well. Whether you have a car, truck, or SUV, your vehicle likely has features such as automatic cruise control, pedestrian protection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, parking assist, collision warning, and other features. These new technologies are meant not only for your safety on the road but for other drivers as well, in addition to pedestrians. However, you may be surprised at the way the system is designed.
The system, collectively known as ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance System, is actually integrated with your windshield via cameras, lasers, and radars. Since a windshield is pretty sturdy, your ADAS usually runs well. However, if there is a problem with the windshield, it can cause problems with the ADAS, leading to a procedure you’ll need what is known as windshield calibration.
If you have your windshield fully replaced, or even if you have it patched, this can affect your ADAS and can cause it to need to be calibrated. This is a simple operation that only takes a short amount of time, and it can get your safety features working properly again. Also, if the camera is bumped or if you are involved in a minor fender bender, this can knock the ADAS out of whack as well. Sometimes you may get fault error codes as well that require the system to be recalibrated.
