What Are Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) & Why Calibration Matters
ADAS – a common feature in modern vehicles – is designed to enhance safety and reduce the risk of accidents. These systems include technologies such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), and Automatic Emergency Steering (AES). Each of these relies on precise input from sensors and forward-facing cameras—often mounted on or behind your windshield. Accurate ADAS calibration ensures these sensors are aligned to manufacturer specifications and function correctly after a windshield replacement service, where required.

ADAS Sensors & Windshield Camera Alignment: What You Need to Know
Your windshield does more than protect you from wind and debris—it houses essential ADAS sensors and cameras that interpret the road ahead and enable advanced safety functions.
Even a small misalignment can disrupt these systems. That’s why camera alignment and ADAS recalibration are necessary after a windshield replacement—if your vehicle has cameras and sensors built into the windshield.
ADAS sensors & cameras may include:
Forward-facing cameras
that support features like Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), and pedestrian or obstacle detection.
Windshield-mounted radar sensors
used in systems such as Collision Detection Warning (CDW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB).
Rain and light sensors
that automatically activate windshield wipers and adjust headlight intensity based on driving conditions.

FAQs – ADAS Calibration
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration is the process of resetting or adjusting the sensors and cameras integrated into a vehicle. These systems enhance vehicle safety and provide features such lane departure warning, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and automatic emergency steering. At NOVUS Glass, we specialize in windshield replacement and prioritize your safety by accurately recalibrating any ADAS features that rely on sensors or cameras mounted in the windshield.
ADAS sensors should be calibrated any time their accuracy may be compromised, including after windshield replacement, repair or following a collision. Many manufacturers also recommend periodic ADAS recalibration as part of routine maintenance to ensure continued system accuracy.
Recalibration is typically only required after a windshield replacement. Replacing the windshield can shift their alignment, making recalibration necessary to maintain features like Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
Windshield repair usually doesn’t interfere with these systems. At NOVUS Glass, our expert technicians use proprietary NOVUS Glass resin to restore the strength and clarity of your windshield without affecting the ADAS sensors, helping you avoid unnecessary and costly recalibrations whenever possible.
*Some locations may offer calibration services beyond windshield-related ADAS calibration.
When completing ADAS calibration, there are two main methods to calibrate your vehicle’s advanced driver assistance systems: Static (In-Shop) and Dynamic (On-Road).
Static calibration is performed in a controlled workshop using specialized targets and tools for precise camera alignment and sensor recalibration, ensuring all safety features meet manufacturer standards. Dynamic calibration, on the other hand, takes place on the road at specific speeds, allowing the advanced driver assistance features to adapt in real-world driving conditions.
Both methods are essential for accurate ADAS calibration, especially after collisions or windshield replacement, to keep your vehicle’s safety systems fully functional.
The type of calibration your vehicle needs depends on its make and model. Some vehicles require only one method, while many need both to ensure all safety features work correctly. That’s why we follow your vehicle manufacturer’s specified method of ADAS calibration carefully, so your advanced driver assistance systems function properly and your warranty remains protected.
The cost of ADAS calibration varies based on the type of calibration needed—static, dynamic, or both—as well as the make, model, and year of your vehicle.
At NOVUS Glass, ADAS calibration is included in the price of your windshield replacement, ensuring cost transparency and full compliance with manufacturer safety standards. If your replacement is covered by insurance, calibration is too—so there are no surprise costs. You can count on us to manage the entire process from start to finish.

In many cases, yes – especially when it’s part of a windshield replacement service. Our team at NOVUS Glass will work directly with your insurer to make the entire process seamless.
Driving without proper ADAS recalibration can result in system errors, false warnings, or total failure of critical safety features. Misaligned sensors may cause these systems to respond incorrectly—or not at all—in situations where they’re needed most. Skipping recalibration could compromise your safety and increase the risk of an accident. Proper recalibration ensures your safety systems perform as intended, helping protect you and everyone on the road.
