What Is Windshield Camera Recalibration?

Windshield camera recalibration is critical for ensuring the proper functioning of a vehicle's advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). These systems, including features like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking, rely on cameras and sensors mounted on or near the windshield to function accurately. When the windshield is replaced or removed, or when the vehicle undergoes certain repairs, it can disrupt the positioning and calibration of these cameras. Windshield camera recalibration involves precisely aligning and calibrating these cameras to ensure they accurately interpret the vehicle's surroundings and operate effectively.

Why Is the Recalibration Required With Windshield Replacement?

Recalibration is necessary when a windshield is replaced because modern vehicles' advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) rely on highly precise camera and sensor placement. These systems, including features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and collision avoidance, must interpret the vehicle's surroundings to function accurately. When a windshield is replaced, the camera or sensor mounting position may shift, even by a small amount, which can significantly impact the accuracy and reliability of these systems. Without proper recalibration, ADAS features may provide incorrect information or fail to work altogether, potentially compromising the vehicle's and its occupants' safety.

Types of Windshield Camera Recalibration

Different types of recalibration methods are used depending on the make and model of the vehicle and the specific ADAS systems in place. Here's a list of common types of windshield camera recalibration offered at PayLess Glass:

Static Recalibration – Static recalibration involves positioning the vehicle and camera in a controlled environment, often a service bay, and using specialised equipment to align the camera to predetermined reference points.
Dynamic Recalibration – Dynamic recalibration is performed during a test drive where the vehicle's sensors and cameras collect data as the car is driven under specific conditions. This data is then used to recalibrate the ADAS systems, accounting for real-world driving scenarios.
Laser-Guided Recalibration – Laser-guided recalibration uses laser technology to ensure precise camera alignment. A laser is projected onto a target board, and the camera's position is adjusted until it aligns precisely with the laser reference points, ensuring accuracy.

Signs a Vehicle Needs Recalibration

Recognizing the signs that a vehicle requires recalibration is crucial for maintaining the functionality and safety of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Here are four common signs:

Windshield Replacement – After a windshield replacement, recalibration is necessary as the positioning of ADAS cameras and sensors may change, affecting their accuracy and functionality.
Warning Lights or Messages – When your vehicle displays warning lights or messages related to ADAS sensor malfunction or system errors, it indicates that recalibration is required to restore proper operation.
Changes in ADAS Behavior – If you notice that your ADAS features, such as lane-keeping assistance or adaptive cruise control, are not performing as expected or providing inconsistent responses, it's a sign that recalibration is needed.
Vehicle Collisions or Impact – Any impact or collision, even minor ones, can disrupt the positioning of ADAS components, requiring recalibration to ensure safety and consistent ADAS performance.

How Long Does Windshield Recalibration Take?

The duration of windshield recalibration can vary depending on the type of recalibration needed and the specific make and model of the vehicle. For some vehicles, dynamic recalibration may be required, which involves driving the vehicle at a certain speed on well-marked highways while the cameras and sensors recalibrate. This process can take up to an hour or more. On the other hand, static recalibration typically involves positioning the vehicle in a specific location with a precise target picture in front of it, which can take up to an hour or longer based on the vehicle's make and model.
