What is the purpose of the camera behind the windshield?

Does your car provide sound, vibration, or visual alerts to warn you of a collision risk, activate automatic emergency braking, or detect unintended lane departures? These advanced driver-assistance technologies (ADAS) depend on cameras mounted behind the windshield.

Why perform a recalibration after a windshield replacement?

When a new windshield is installed, the front-facing camera is moved from its original mount. Even a one-millimetre shift can alter its field of vision, which can prevent your ADAS from correctly detecting hazards. Recalibration is the essential step to synchronize the camera with your vehicle according to the manufacturer's specifications.
