Drive Safe After a Windscreen Replacement with ADAS Recalibration
If your windscreen’s been replaced, there’s one crucial step you can’t afford to skip: ADAS windscreen recalibration.
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) help keep you safe on the road, but they rely on perfectly aligned cameras mounted on your windscreen. A new windscreen, even if installed perfectly, can shift those cameras just enough to throw off their accuracy.
At Champion Autoglass, we make sure your safety tech is reset and ready, so you can drive away with confidence.
What is ADAS & Why Does It Matter?
ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are the smart safety features built into most modern cars. You might not think about them much until they prevent a crash or help you stay in your lane.
Here’s what ADAS can include:
- Lane Keep Assist: Helps steer you back if you drift across lines.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a safe gap to the car in front, even in traffic.
- Blind Spot Monitoring: Warns you about cars you might not see.
- Auto Emergency Braking (AEB): Brakes automatically if you don’t react in time.
- Traffic Sign Recognition & Auto High Beam: Reads signs and adjusts headlights.
These features rely on cameras, often mounted on your windscreen. Your windscreen isn’t just a piece of glass; it acts as a precise lens for these systems. When your car was first built, the cameras were calibrated exactly to that specific piece of glass.
Even a slight shift from replacing or reinstalling the windscreen can change the optical path and camera angle. A movement as small as a millimetre can cause Lane Assist to misjudge lines or AEB to brake too late.
That’s why, if your car has ADAS, recalibration isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’, it’s essential.
Why Your ADAS Needs Recalibration After Windscreen Replacement
Let’s say you’ve just had your windscreen replaced. It looks perfect, right? But behind the scenes, the ADAS camera, now reattached, may be sitting just a few millimetres off. That’s all it takes to cause serious problems.
Here’s why recalibration is critical:
- Incorrect Lane Positioning
Lane Keep Assist might think you’re centred when you’re not, or steer incorrectly. - Delayed Braking Response
AEB relies on a perfectly aligned view to judge distance. If the camera is off, it may brake too late or not at all. - Cruise Control Errors
Adaptive Cruise Control could follow too closely or brake suddenly if it misreads vehicles ahead. - Sensor Warning Lights
Your dashboard might light up with alerts. If you skip recalibration, your ADAS features might stop working altogether or shut down for safety.
That’s why ADAS windscreen recalibration is important. It’s a crucial safety step that makes sure all these life-saving features keep working exactly as they should, so you stay safe and your car stays compliant with manufacturer standards.
ADAS Recalibration Process
1. We Inspect Your Vehicle
Not sure if your car has ADAS? No worries. We’ll check your make and model, confirm what systems are in place, and explain what’s needed. You don’t have to worry about the tech, that’s our job.
2. Professional Windscreen Replacement
We use high-quality glass that meets all Australian safety standards. Your new windscreen isn’t just a piece of glass; it’s a key part of your ADAS camera system. Our team fits it with care and precision tools to avoid even tiny shifts that could affect your safety tech.3. Advanced Recalibration
Depending on your vehicle, we’ll perform:- Static recalibration, done in our workshop using precisely measured targets and laser levels. The car stays stationary while we reset the camera to the manufacturer’s specs.
- Dynamic recalibration, done on the road while driving at controlled speeds, so the system can learn real-world lane markings and objects.
Some vehicles need both methods to fully restore all functions. We follow your car’s exact manufacturer procedures; no guesswork, no shortcuts.
4. Testing & Diagnostics
We double-check every system. If your dashboard lights were on, they’ll be off now. If Lane Assist or AEB wasn’t working, it will be. We use advanced diagnostic tools and, when needed, road tests to confirm everything’s spot on before we hand the car back.
5. You’re Back on the Road
The job’s done properly, your car is safe, and you’re back doing what you need to do, whether it’s the school run, the worksite, or a weekend away.
