Safety features in a car and there to help keep you safe and other drivers on the road, but another feature is making driving less frustrating and more seamless for you. If you need a windshield calibration installation & repair service in Seattle, look to Joe’s Glass Co. for everything you need when it comes to auto glass.
Should you have a newer vehicle with a bundle of safety features, you’ve likely gotten used to them and certainly don’t want to live without them. But like all electronics, sometimes things go haywire. If they do, they can be easily fixed. Your safety features are probably linked to your windshield via lasers, radar, and cameras, so if something does go wrong, you need calibration or recalibration.
Safety features such as parking assist, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, collision warning, and pedestrian protection, among others, are all part of a collective system known as ADAS, or Advanced Driver(s) Assistance System. Because these are connected to your windshield, if something happens to your windshield, it will affect the ADAS, which will, in turn, affect your safety features. For example, you may see certain features not working, or perhaps none of them will be working. You need a windshield calibration.
Things that can cause this are a complete windshield replacement, where we need to calibrate the windshield from scratch, or sometimes a minor fender-bender can knock things loose even if the windshield wasn’t touched. Sometimes the camera can get bumped and needs to be reset, or you may get a fault code that’s unrelated to anything but still requires the windshield to be recalibrated.
