What ADAS means
The windscreen can be part of the safety system.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems use cameras and other sensors to interpret the road. Calibration aligns relevant sensors with the vehicle so supported functions receive accurate information.
Collision warning
Some vehicles use forward sensors to identify potential hazards and provide alerts.
Automatic braking
Emergency-braking functions may rely on accurately aligned cameras, radar or combined sensor data.
Traffic-sign recognition
Supported vehicles may use a windscreen camera to detect and display road signs.
Adaptive lighting
Some headlight functions use camera information to respond to traffic and road conditions.
Vehicle-specific systems
Features, procedures and calibration triggers differ by manufacturer, model and equipment level.
When to check
Calibration may be required after the camera position changes.
Replacing a windscreen can alter the relationship between a forward-facing camera and the vehicle. Manufacturer procedures determine whether calibration is required and which method applies.
Windscreen replacement →- ✓ After relevant windscreen replacement
- ✓ If the camera or bracket is disturbed
- ✓ Following certain geometry or suspension work
- ✓ When manufacturer instructions require it

How the ADAS process works.
Send vehicle details
Share the registration, postcode, windscreen work completed and any warning messages.
Requirements checked
The relevant vehicle specification and manufacturer procedure are reviewed.
Correct route arranged
We explain the likely calibration method, practical requirements and available next step.
Static and dynamic methods
The correct method depends on the vehicle.
Some systems use stationary targets and controlled workshop conditions. Others use a road-based procedure with diagnostic equipment. Certain vehicles require a combination of both.
Check calibration requirements →Static calibration
The vehicle remains stationary while approved targets, measurements and diagnostic equipment are used.
Dynamic calibration
A specified driving procedure is completed under suitable road, weather and traffic conditions.
Service coverage
ADAS support across the region.
Assessment and service options are available across our core postcode areas, subject to the vehicle and required calibration procedure.

Quick answers
ADAS calibration FAQs.
Does every windscreen replacement need calibration?
No. It depends on whether the vehicle has relevant sensors and what the manufacturer procedure specifies.
What is the difference between static and dynamic calibration?
Static calibration uses targets with the vehicle stationary. Dynamic calibration uses a prescribed driving procedure. Some vehicles require both.
Can I drive if an ADAS warning light is showing?
Check the vehicle handbook and seek professional advice. Do not assume affected driver-assistance features are operating normally.
How long does calibration take?
Timing varies with the vehicle, method, setup and road or weather conditions. The likely duration is confirmed after assessment.
What information do you need?
Your registration, postcode, details of recent glass or repair work, and any dashboard warning messages.
Can calibration be completed at my location?
That depends on the vehicle and procedure. Static methods need suitable controlled space; dynamic methods need appropriate driving conditions.
