Automakers are continuously finding new ways to keep drivers safe while operating their vehicles. In fact, in newer makes and models, manufacturers have begun adding Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). ADAS helps driver stay protected when they’re on the road, but it also protects everyone around them, including passengers and pedestrians. ADAS assists drivers with driving safely, by providing alerts, warnings, and detecting dangers that drivers cannot detect.
If you’re driving a vehicle that contains ADAS features, then you may be unaware of the fact that if you replace your windshield, your forward-facing camera must be calibrated. Many manufacturers require calibration after repair because it affects the overall operation of your vehicle. Calibration ensures that the sensors within your vehicle are functioning accurately. It can be a challenging process to understand calibration so not every auto glass shop offers this service. At Glass Doctor of Tampa Bay, we have trained specialists who have the equipment to calibrate your ADAS camera responsibly and keep you and your vehicle safe.
