Windshield camera calibration service, ensuring ADAS accuracy & driver safety in Burnaby, BC

What Is an ADAS Camera?

Your vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is a camera system that gathers visual data about your environment as you drive. It provides various driver assistance features and safety features. The cameras are positioned in strategic locations around your vehicle and capture images of the road, traffic, pedestrians, and objects. This data is then sent to the ADAS to trigger safety alerts, initiate automatic safety functions, and assist with lanekeeping.

What Is ADAS Camera Calibration?

ADAS camera calibration is a process that tests your ADAS functions and safety features and then precisely adjusts them to maintain their accuracy and ensure optimal function and operation. Camera recalibration will ensure features like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and automatic braking are working as intended.

When Do You Need Auto Camera Calibration?

Even if your vehicle seems to be driving properly after a collision or accident, there may be damage to internal components or systems, like your ADAS. Here are some of the signs that you may need camera calibration:

Windshield Repair or Replacement

If your vehicle recently had windshield repair or replacement, your ADAS system will need to be recalibrated, as the process of removing and reinstalling the windshield can disrupt the precise positioning of the camera.

Incorrect Lane Warnings

If your vehicle’s lane departure warning system is giving false alarms or failing to activate when needed, this could indicate a misalignment in the system’s camera. Misalignment can occur due to impacts, windshield replacement, or wear and tear over time.

Erratic Cruise Control Performance

When your vehicle brakes unexpectedly or fails to maintain a set speed on adaptive cruise control, it could be a sign of a misaligned camera. This can happen when the camera’s field of view is obstructed or if its mounting position has shifted.

Blind Spot Detection Malfunctions

Another indicator of a misaligned windshield camera is if your blind spot detection system isn’t functioning properly. This can lead to dangerous situations on the road as you may not be alerted of a vehicle in your blind spot.

Dashboard Warnings

Most modern vehicles have built-in systems that will alert you if there’s an issue with your windshield camera. If you see a warning light on your dashboard, it’s important to get your camera calibrated as soon as possible to ensure your safety.

Malfunction of Automatic Emergency Braking System

Your vehicle’s automatic emergency braking system relies on the windshield camera to detect potential collisions and automatically apply the brakes. If this system is malfunctioning, it may indicate that the camera needs calibration.

Why Is Windshield Camera Calibration So Important?

Windshield camera calibration ensures your vehicle’s ADAS can accurately read, measure, and interpret data regarding your surroundings. Calibration will restore proper function so that the cameras on your vehicle can detect lane markings, other vehicles, pedestrians and animals, and obstacles. If your camera is not properly calibrated, the ADAS may malfunction, which can affect your safety and the safety of your passengers and others on the road.
