Everything You Need to Know About Windshield Calibration After Replacement
If your vehicle has advanced safety features like lane assist, adaptive cruise control, or forward collision warning, there's one important step you can’t skip after a windshield replacement: calibration.
At Dynasty Glass in Langley, BC, we don’t just replace windshields—we make sure your vehicle’s safety systems are working perfectly when you drive away. Here’s what windshield calibration is, why it matters, and how we do it right.
🔍 What Is Windshield Calibration?
Modern vehicles come equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), which rely on cameras and sensors—many of them mounted on or near your windshield. When we replace your windshield, those cameras may be removed or slightly shifted.
Calibration ensures those systems are realigned properly, so they continue to detect lanes, cars, pedestrians, and obstacles just like they were designed to.
⚠️ Why Does It Matter?
If your cameras are off by even a few degrees, it could impact how your vehicle interprets the road—leading to:
Incorrect lane departure warnings
Delayed emergency braking
Faulty cruise control or distance monitoring
Insurance or safety inspection issues
In short: it’s not just about tech—it’s about safety.
🛠️ Static vs. Dynamic Calibration
At Dynasty Glass, we offer both types depending on your vehicle:
Static Calibration is done in-shop using specialized targets and tools.
Dynamic Calibration involves road testing the vehicle under specific conditions to reset sensors.
Some vehicles require both. Don’t worry—we’ll let you know what your specific make and model needs.
