Vehicles nowadays have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which enhance safety and boost driving confidence. These systems rely on cameras and sensors strategically placed around the vehicle—many of which are attached to the windshield. When a windshield is replaced, the forward-facing camera must be recalibrated to ensure these safety features continue to function accurately. At Yuma Auto Glass & Window Tint in Yuma, AZ, we provide expert ADAS calibration services alongside our auto glass services.
Safety Calibration in Yuma, AZ
If your vehicle is equipped with ADAS features like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, or forward-collision alerts, these systems depend on a properly aligned camera to function correctly. Even the slightest misalignment, as little as a few mm, can lead to incorrect readings.
When your windshield is repaired or replaced in Yuma, the calibration process is necessary to ensure that your vehicle's safety systems continue to operate as intended by the manufacturer.
Failure to recalibrate the system can result in:
- Malfunctioning or disabled safety features
- False alerts or warning signals
- Incorrect lane departure and collision detection responses
- Increased risk of accidents due to inaccurate sensor readings
ADAS Calibration in Yuma, AZ
At Yuma Auto Glass & Window Tint, we perform both static and dynamic recalibrations, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications. Some vehicles require one method, while others need both to ensure accurate sensor alignment.
Dynamic Calibration
– This method involves driving the vehicle on well-marked roads at specific speeds while the camera system self-adjusts. It typically takes an hour or longer, depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
Static Calibration
– This method is performed in a controlled environment using specialized target images mounted in front of the vehicle. The system recalibrates based on these targets, ensuring precise alignment. Like dynamic calibration, this process can take an hour or longer.
