Demystifying the Intricacies of Windshield Calibration with Folsom Mobile Glass
The concept of windshield calibration may seem intricate and unrelated to the actual glass, but it’s vital due to the complex technology incorporated into contemporary windshields. Modern vehicles necessitate windshield recalibration that primarily interfaces with the Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). This groundbreaking automotive technology enhances safety on the road, offering features like:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Collision warning systems
- Parking assist systems
- Rearview cameras
- Lane departure warning systems
- Intelligent speed adaptation
These advanced systems function optimally by using dynamic sensors and cameras positioned throughout your vehicle. The data they gather is transmitted to the ADAS, offering drivers audio or visual alerts to potential dangers. In some circumstances, ADAS may intervene to prevent collisions or guide the vehicle away from potential harm.
Upon replacing an ADAS windshield, the calibration process optimizes the sensors and cameras, verifying their proper functionality.
The Necessity of Windshield Recalibration
During the windshield repair or replacement process, technicians may have to disconnect or remove components related to ADAS. Considering these components require exact alignment for a proficient ADAS system, recalibration according to manufacturer specifications after any repair or replacement is essential.
Consequences of Overlooking Windshield Calibration
Disregarding the need to recalibrate your windshield’s ADAS components can result in:
- The malfunction or total failure of safety features, escalating the risk of accidents
- Deceptive warning signals, causing unnecessary stress and potential hazards
- Diagnostic codes flashing on your dashboard, potentially leading to unwarranted worry and extra diagnostic costs
ADAS Calibration Timeline
The on-site calibration process typically takes a minimum of 2 hours and often coincides with your windshield replacement appointment. The calibration procedure begins with camera alignment, ensuring optimal coordination with your vehicle’s computer, resetting the system to factory specifications, and confirming precise calibration. In some instances, a dynamic calibration might be necessary, where the vehicle needs to be driven to calibrate the camera. We will inform you if this step is applicable to your vehicle.
Investing in Windshield Calibration & Insurance Factors
Investing in windshield recalibration after replacement or any repairs affecting ADAS functionality is crucial. The cost for this service fluctuates based on your vehicle’s make and model, and where the service is performed. Average estimates hover around $400 to $700. However, many car insurance policies can potentially cover these costs.
