A new windshield needs to be calibrated to ensure that the vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) work properly. ADAS features include lane departure warning, collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. [1]
When a windshield is replaced, the cameras, sensors, and other ADAS equipment are removed and reattached to the new windshield. The angle and position of the windshield changes, so the cameras need to be adjusted to fit the new glass. If the cameras aren't calibrated, the ADAS features could malfunction, leading to an accident. [2, 3, 4]
Calibration is a complex process that requires special equipment and expertise from a professional. The process involves adjusting and testing all the cameras and sensors on the windshield. The calibration typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes and can be done during the windshield replacement visit. [2, 4]
The cost of windshield calibration varies depending on the make and model of the vehicle, and where the service is done. Estimates can range from around $300 to $600. [5]
Even though cars should show any malfunction on the screen, they won't always show error codes for mis-calibration. This is why it's important to ensure that your vehicle's systems work correctly. [6, 7]
