If you have a relatively new car, it probably comes with a list of handy features that your older car didn’t. These are features that you most likely are quite used to now and feel you couldn’t live without, such as parking assist, automatic cruise control, pedestrian protection, lane departure warning, headlight control, blind-spot monitoring, and collision warning. However, all of these features are connected to the calibration in your windshield. If this gets thrown off, then your features won’t work properly, and your windshield will need to be recalibrated. If you need a windshield calibration installation & repair service in Mountlake Terrace, Joe’s Glass Co. can help.
You may wonder what all of these features have to do with your windshield. These features (among others) comprise what is known as ADAS, or Advanced Driver(s) Assistance System. The entire system relies on small cameras and radar, all of which are typically mounted on the windshield. Should something happen to your windshield to throw this off course, your features won’t work properly, and likely, the entire system would be down.
What types of situations would cause the system not to work? A new windshield replacement would require a new calibration system to be installed. However, there are other things to think of, such as minor fender benders, the camera being bumped somehow, or if your system is displaying fault codes (some electrical problem). We can look at any of these situations and recalibrate the system for you, so it’s up and running again.
