Windshield Calibration FAQs

Wondering about windshield calibration? We've got you covered! Here, you'll find answers to the most common questions about the process, why it's essential, and how it ensures your vehicle’s safety systems are functioning at their best

What is Windshield Calibration?

Windshield calibration ensures that the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in a vehicle are correctly aligned with the windshield’s cameras and sensors, particularly after replacement or repairs. At Land Auto Center, we can replace windshields for all makes and models, ensuring precise calibration for optimal functionality and safety. This process is vital for features like lane departure warnings and emergency braking. Calibration can be static, controlled, or dynamic, often requiring a road test. Neglecting this step can compromise vehicle safety, emphasizing the importance of maintaining ADAS integrity through proper windshield calibration and replacement

Do I truly need to recalibrate after replacing my windshield?

Absolutely, the system requires calibration each time the windshield is replaced. While you might think you can skip this step, it's not worth the risk. Your lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and possibly parking proximity sensors will not function with complete accuracy without the necessary calibration.

Can you decline windshield calibration?​

No, you cannot. A reputable and certified auto glass shop will advise you that windshield calibration is crucial after replacing a windshield. If your vehicle has ADAS technology and requires a windshield replacement, recalibrating your ADAS is vital for maintaining your safety.
