Windshield Replacement & ADAS Calibration | Broadway Auto Glass
When your windshield gets damaged, replacing it quickly is the obvious choice. But did you know that in modern vehicles, there’s another crucial step you can’t afford to skip?
It’s called windshield calibration, and it’s directly tied to your safety on the road.
At Broadway Auto Glass in San Diego, CA, we don’t just replace your glass — we make sure your vehicle’s safety systems work exactly as they should, so you can drive with complete confidence.
What Is Windshield Calibration?
Many newer vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — technology like lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, and adaptive cruise control. These systems rely on tiny cameras and sensors mounted near or behind your windshield.
When your windshield is replaced, even the slightest shift in the camera’s angle can throw these systems off. That’s where calibration comes in.
Calibration is the precise adjustment of these cameras and sensors so your ADAS continues to function as designed.
Why Skipping Calibration Is Dangerous
Imagine your lane departure warning going off too late… or your forward collision alert not triggering when it should.
A misaligned sensor might mean:
False warnings that distract you while driving
Delayed alerts that put you in danger
Automatic braking failure in a critical moment
In short, skipping calibration after a windshield replacement could compromise your safety — and in some cases, violate manufacturer requirements.
When Do You Need Windshield Calibration?
You need ADAS calibration whenever:
Your windshield has been replaced
Your vehicle has been in an accident, even a minor one
The ADAS cameras or sensors have been disconnected
Your vehicle’s suspension has been changed
You notice unusual ADAS behavior or warning lights
If your car was made in the last 5–7 years, there’s a strong chance it has ADAS technology — and calibration is not optional.
