If you have a newer car, chances are it has Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, features. Some of these features are more noticeable than others, but all ADAS features are important safety systems to help protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. ADAS includes features that alert the driver of their surroundings, add smartphone connectivity so you can stay focused on the road, help avoid collisions by braking automatically, and more.
One of the main components of your vehicle’s ADAS features is the forward-facing camera, which is typically located behind the windshield. After having your windshield replaced, this camera must be calibrated to ensure the camera and other sensors are working properly. Calibrating this camera requires special training and equipment, and not every auto glass repair shop can calibrate ADAS. Our specialists at Glass Doctor of Sarasota are equipped to repair or replace your windshield and properly calibrate your ADAS systems.
