Modern vehicles on Las Vegas roads are packed with smart safety tech. Lane assist, collision alerts, emergency braking — all great, all helpful, all dependent on one thing: your windshield. That’s why ADAS calibration is non-negotiable after windshield replacement.

At Preferred Auto Glass, windshield work isn’t just about installing new glass. It’s about making sure your vehicle’s safety systems work exactly as they should when you drive away.

Understanding ADAS and Why It Matters

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance System. These systems rely on cameras and sensors often mounted directly to the windshield. Even a tiny shift during a replacement can throw them off.

ADAS features include:

Lane departure warning
Automatic emergency braking
Adaptive cruise control
Forward collision alerts

If these cameras are even slightly misaligned, your car may not respond correctly. That’s where professional Advanced Driver Assistance System calibration comes in.

Calibration brings everything back to factory accuracy. No guesswork. No risks.

When ADAS Calibration Is Required

ADAS calibration is needed any time the windshield or related components are disturbed. Common scenarios include:

Full windshield repair or replacement after cracks or impact damage
Repairs following severe windshield crack repair
Damage caused by rocks or debris before or after rock chip repair
Any service involving auto windshield glass repair

Skipping calibration puts your safety systems at risk — plain and simple.

How the ADAS Calibration Process Works

Pre-Calibration Inspection

Technicians inspect the vehicle to identify all ADAS components. Cameras, sensors, mounts, and connections are checked before calibration begins.

Calibration Setup

Using manufacturer-approved equipment, calibration is performed either statically in a controlled environment or dynamically during a test drive. The process follows exact vehicle specifications.

Testing and Verification

Once complete, systems are tested for accuracy. Lane assist, braking response, and collision alerts are verified to ensure everything works as designed.
