What is the purpose of the camera behind the windshield?
Does your car provide sound, vibration, or visual alerts to warn you of a collision risk, activate automatic emergency braking, or detect unintended lane departures? These advanced driver-assistance technologies (ADAS) depend on cameras mounted behind the windshield.
Why perform a recalibration after a windshield replacement?
When a new windshield is installed, the front-facing camera is moved from its original mount. Even a one-millimetre shift can alter its field of vision, which can prevent your ADAS from correctly detecting hazards. Recalibration is the essential step to synchronize the camera with your vehicle according to the manufacturer's specifications.
A tailored method for your vehicle
No two vehicles are the same, and each calls for its own set of specifications. Our certified experts conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the exact manufacturer-approved procedure, helping maintain the optimal performance of your advanced driver-assistance systems.
We use high-precision equipment while your vehicle is stationary in the service centre.
Recalibration is performed during a secure test drive. This allows us to reset your sensors' reactions using painted lane markings on the road.
Some car models require both steps: an in-center adjustment followed by on-road.
