CAMERA & ADAS CALIBRATION
Modern vehicles may use cameras and sensors around the windshield to support driver-assistance features. When the windshield is replaced or the camera position is disturbed, the system may require calibration so the camera is correctly aligned for the vehicle.
Autoglass Maestro provides windshield camera and ADAS calibration in Hamilton and surrounding areas for compatible vehicles.
If you’re unsure whether your vehicle requires calibration, send us your year, make and model and we’ll help confirm the service requirements.
WHAT IS ADAS CAMERA CALIBRATION?
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.
Many newer vehicles use a forward-facing camera mounted near or behind the windshield. Depending on the vehicle, this camera may support features such as:
- Lane departure warning
- Lane keeping assistance
- Forward collision warning
- Automatic emergency braking
- Traffic sign recognition
- Adaptive driver-assistance functions
Camera calibration is the process of correctly aligning the camera system after work that may affect its position or view.
The exact calibration requirements depend on the vehicle make, model, year and equipment.
WHEN MAY CAMERA CALIBRATION BE REQUIRED?
Calibration may be needed when work affects the position, alignment or view of the windshield-mounted camera.
Common situations can include:
- AFTER WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT — Replacing a windshield can affect the position or viewing angle of a camera mounted to or around the glass.
- CAMERA REMOVAL OR REINSTALLATION — Some windshield replacements require camera-related components to be removed and reinstalled.
- ADAS WARNING OR SYSTEM MESSAGE — A warning light or driver-assistance system message may indicate that the system needs attention.
- VEHICLE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS — Some vehicles require calibration as part of the windshield replacement procedure even when no warning is displayed.
NOT SURE? Provide your vehicle year, make and model and we’ll help identify whether calibration applies to your vehicle.
