Why ADAS Calibration Is Required After Windscreen Replacement
Introduction
Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) designed to improve safety, driver awareness and collision prevention. Many of these systems rely on forward-facing cameras mounted directly to the windscreen. When a windscreen is replaced, even slight changes in camera positioning can affect system accuracy and vehicle safety.
At National ADAS Calibrations, we provide professional post-glass ADAS recalibration services across Melbourne for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and trucks using OEM-level calibration equipment and manufacturer-compatible procedures.
What Is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS calibration is the process of restoring the alignment and accuracy of safety systems such as:
- Lane Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Forward Collision Warning
- Driver Attention Monitoring
These systems rely on radar sensors and forward-facing cameras to operate correctly.
Why Windscreen Replacement Affects ADAS Systems
Many modern vehicles have cameras mounted to the inside of the windscreen. When the glass is removed and replaced, the camera position can shift slightly, causing the system to become misaligned.
Even small variations can impact:
- Distance calculations
- Lane detection accuracy
- Object recognition
- Emergency braking response
- Adaptive cruise control operation
Without recalibration, the system may:
- Trigger warning lights
- Stop functioning correctly
- Provide inaccurate driver assistance responses
- Reduce vehicle safety
When Is Recalibration Required?
ADAS recalibration is commonly required after:
- Windscreen replacement
- Front-end accident repairs
- Suspension repairs
- Wheel alignments
- Camera replacement
- Radar replacement
- Steering repairs
