ADAS means Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Depending on the vehicle, these systems may use a camera or sensors near the windscreen to support features such as lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, traffic-sign recognition or automatic emergency braking.
Why can calibration be needed?
A camera mounted to or viewed through the windscreen depends on a precise position and viewing angle. Removing or replacing the glass can change that relationship. If the vehicle manufacturer requires calibration after replacement, the camera and related systems need to be checked and adjusted using the correct procedure.
Not every vehicle has the same equipment or calibration requirements. The make, model, build year and options matter. A dashboard warning is not the only way to know whether calibration is needed, so ask the glass technician to check the vehicle requirements rather than relying only on warning lights.
What should you ask before booking?
- Does my vehicle have a forward-facing camera or other windscreen-mounted sensor?
- Does the manufacturer require calibration after this replacement?
- Who will complete it, and is it included in the quote?
- Will calibration be static, dynamic or both, and how much time should I allow?
- Will I receive confirmation that the required checks are complete?
High Class Windscreens’ service information says it does not perform ADAS calibration in-house; when needed, it refers the work to a qualified third-party specialist and coordinates timing with the booking. Confirm the arrangement and any associated cost before approving the job.
Book the right replacement
When requesting windscreen replacement, share the vehicle make, model, year and any safety features you know about. This helps the team identify the correct glass and determine whether calibration needs to be arranged. Do not assume calibration is unnecessary—or included—until it has been confirmed for your vehicle.
