Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, and Automatic Emergency Braking. These systems rely on forward-facing cameras mounted to your windshield for proper operation.

After a windshield replacement, recalibration is critical for your safety.

Why Recalibration Is Required

Many customers are told by other shops: "As long as the camera isn't disconnected, recalibration isn't necessary." This is incorrect.

Here is why:

• ADAS cameras are mounted to brackets that are attached directly to the windshield.
• These brackets are installed by humans at the factory, positioned by hand.
• Even the smallest change in glass placement affects camera alignment.
• No windshield can be installed in the exact microscopic position as the original.

Because of this, camera alignment changes every time the glass is replaced.

Small Shifts = Big Safety Risks

A camera that is only slightly out of position can create major problems.

At just 66 feet down the road, a misaligned camera may no longer be tracking your lane accurately. This can cause:

• Delayed or incorrect lane departure warnings.
• Inaccurate collision alerts.
• Reduced emergency braking effectiveness.
• False confidence in safety systems.

In many vehicles, the system may appear to be working normally, even when it is not.

Most Vehicles Will Not Warn You

Most manufacturers do not alert drivers when a camera is slightly out of alignment.

This means:

• Your ADAS system may stay active.
• No warning lights may appear.
• No error messages may display.

Often, the first sign of a problem happens during an emergency situation or accident.
