ADAS Calibration in Phoenix
Keep Your Safety Systems Performing Optimally
Many modern vehicles use an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) to keep you safe. This system consists of cameras, sensors, and other advanced technology that work together to identify threats on the road and respond accordingly. However, when you need windshield replacement or repair services, these delicate systems must be recalibrated to ensure they can perform properly.
At Max Auto Glass, we not only provide world-class windshield repair and replacement services, but we also offer ADAS recalibration services to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems continue to keep you safe.

What Is ADAS?
If you drive a late-model vehicle, chances are your vehicle is equipped with an ADAS system. While this system operates under different names for each manufacturer, its overall function is generally the same: to provide driver assistance notifications or interventions to minimize the chances of a collision.
ADAS is typically powered by forward-facing cameras and sensors located high on your windshield. These cameras and sensors can power a multitude of safety features, including:
- Forward collision warning
- Adaptive cruise control
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane keeping assist
- Following distance indicator
- Roadside reading
- Lane departure warning
- Blind spot warning
Why Your ADAS Systems Need To Be Recalibrated
Your ADAS system requires laser precision to accurately gauge depth, distance, and other important information to ensure your vehicle can accurately prevent collisions. When your windshield is repaired or replaced, these delicate systems can become misaligned and fail to recognize danger when needed. Failing to recalibrate your system after windshield replacement services can lead to false alerts and other issues while driving.
If your cameras or sensors are even a single degree off-center, this can cause serious issues with your vehicle’s safety systems. For this reason, it’s important that windshield calibration is performed by a qualified professional.
When Should ADAS Recalibration Be Performed?
Many drivers are unaware of how their vehicle’s ADAS features work and are unsure when windshield calibration should be performed. Here is when we recommend performing ADAS recalibration:
- After a collision: An impact from a collision can easily knock your vehicle’s forward-facing cameras out of place. Even after cosmetic repairs, performing ADAS recalibration is important to restore your vehicle’s safety systems.
- After windshield replacement: Because your forward-facing cameras that control your ADAS system are located at the top of your windshield, it is important that the systems are recalibrated after any work has been done to this delicate glass.
- After tire replacement: Many drivers are shocked to hear that they should perform ADAS calibration after tire replacement. Changing the size of tires or wheels that your vehicle originally used can change its ride height, potentially giving inaccurate readings to your ADAS system.

FAQs
How long does it take to calibrate ADAS?

What are the different types of windshield calibration?
There are different types of ADAS calibration, each offering its own list of benefits to serve a set of needs:
- Static recalibration: This type of calibration is typically performed in a stationary setting and is the most common type of windshield calibration.
- Dynamic recalibration: This type of recalibration is performed while the vehicle is moving. Typically performed on a special type of road or closed track, this type of ADAS recalibration requires a certain speed and distance to accurately recalibrate your vehicle’s driving assistance systems.
- Camera calibration: This type of calibration is performed solely on your vehicle’s camera systems, leaving its sensors and radar systems alone.
Do I need to recalibrate my ADAS if I replace my windshield?
If your front windshield has been replaced, we strongly recommend performing an ADAS recalibration. This is vital for ensuring that your vehicle’s safety and driver assistance systems perform optimally. Repairing or replacing your windshield without performing windshield calibration can cause your safety systems to operate improperly or fail to work at all. For this reason, anytime your windshield has been repaired or replaced, we recommend performing an ADAS calibration in Phoenix.
