Modern vehicles use Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to improve safety through features such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking. These systems rely on accurately aligned cameras and sensors.

After a windscreen replacement, suspension work, or accident repair, ADAS calibration is essential to ensure these systems function correctly. At 1st Glass Windscreens & Tinting Services, we provide professional ADAS calibration to manufacturer standards, helping keep your vehicle safe and your driver-assistance systems working as they should.

ADAS Calibration – Frequently Asked Questions

What is ADAS calibration?
ADAS calibration is the process of aligning and adjusting the cameras, sensors, and radar systems used by your vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems so they operate accurately and safely.

When is ADAS calibration required?
Calibration is usually required after a windscreen replacement, accident repair, suspension work, wheel alignment, or if sensors or cameras have been moved or replaced.

What happens if ADAS isn’t calibrated correctly?
If the system isn’t calibrated properly, safety features such as lane assist, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control may give incorrect warnings or fail to respond to hazards.

Do all vehicles need ADAS calibration after a windscreen replacement?
Not all vehicles require it, but many modern cars with front-facing cameras mounted near the windscreen will need calibration after replacement.

Is ADAS calibration required for MOT or insurance?
While it may not always be part of the MOT test itself, proper calibration is important to ensure your vehicle meets manufacturer and insurance safety requirements after repairs.
