Safety features have made modern cars more reliable than ever. Many innovative features rely on accurately calibrated windshield mounted cameras and sensors that ensure the proper functioning of driver collision, lane departure, cruise control and other systems. While modern advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are widely recognised as being state-of-the-art, their reliability is entirely dependent on proper windscreen calibration. Contact EW Windscreens in Melbourne for ADAS recalibration for all types of vehicles, especially after replacement or repair.
The Importance of ADAS Windscreen Calibration
ADAS technology is designed to alert drivers to potentially dangerous hazards on the road. In some cases, the system may go a step further and take control of the vehicle. As these systems rely almost entirely on windshield mounted cameras, ADAS windscreen calibration should be a top priority after a windscreen repair.
Why Calibrate After ADAS Windscreen Replacement?
To function optimally, the cameras and sensors on the windshield must be properly aligned. As more and more car manufacturers include ADAS as a standard feature, the need for properly calibrated cameras will continue to grow. That’s why automobile professionals must recalibrate the entire system after a vehicle has been through significant repairs or an ADAS windscreen replacement.
Improper camera calibration is more than a safety hazard; it can negatively impact insurance claims in the event of an accident and lead to legal issues.
Windshield Camera Calibration
Whether your car is in for a simple ADAS windscreen chip repair or needs to be entirely replaced, the team at EW Windscreens treats each recalibration with the same level of care.
- Our experts will perform a pre-scan assessment to determine the extent to which recalibration is required.
- Using specialised equipment and software, our professionals utilise the car’s in-built computer to make the necessary adjustments, all of which are determined with digital precision.
- The calibration is completed by positioning a specific image in front of the vehicle camera.
- Depending on the degree of calibration needed, the entire process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
- To ensure seamless, reliable results, a post-scan verification is conducted to double check that ADAS features are working correctly.
If you believe that your vehicle requires professional windscreen calibration, contact EW Windscreens today.
Why is Professional Calibration so Important?
Although it is possible to perform a DIY windscreen camera calibration, we advise against it for the following reasons:
- Even a minor ADAS windscreen chip repair can cause calibration to change
- The team at EW Windscreens has more experience and better tools than any DIY setup
- Improper calibration can negatively impact the insurance claim process
To ensure that your ADAS system is working correctly, trust your car to the experts.
