ADAS Calibration for Windshield Glass Services in Seneca, SC
An Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, is a standard feature common in newer models. This system has built in technology that is designed to enhance already present safety systems and is making an enormous difference to the safety of you, your passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers. ADAS technology is already prevalent in today’s market, from adaptive cruise control to smartphone connectivity, and automated breaking, and within the next few years these modern technologies will be implemented into every new vehicle. Glass Doctor of Seneca, SC employs trained technicians who are able to calibrate these systems.
If your vehicle needs to be repaired or a glass replacement is required, it is imperative that you have your ADAS calibrated after replacement. When front auto glass suffers damage, it can impair the view of the front-facing camera, causing problems with other systems. Your front facing camera is affected after a glass break and can affect the “lane-keep assist” and “lane departure warning” systems, which can be very dangerous. Your camera uses millimeters, which are equal to feet on the road, to keep your car from running between lanes or off the road. Every millimeter counts with these systems. When your camera has not been calibrated it will either overcorrect or under correct, causing dangerous driving conditions and increase the likelihood for accidents. Unfortunately, not all mechanics or glass repair shops are equipped to calibrate your vehicle’s driver assistance system.
