The consequences of not recalibrating your ADAS system after a windshield replacement can be serious. Here are some of the risks:
Inaccurate readings and false alarms
If the ADAS system is not properly calibrated, it may not be able to accurately detect objects in its field of view. This could lead to inaccurate readings, such as thinking that there is a vehicle in your lane when there is not, or false alarms, such as triggering the automatic emergency braking system when there is no danger.
Reduced safety benefits
ADAS systems are designed to improve safety by helping drivers avoid accidents. However, if the system is not properly calibrated, it may not be able to function as intended. This could reduce the safety benefits of the system and increase the risk of an accident.
Voided warranty
Many car manufacturers require that the ADAS system be recalibrated after a windshield replacement. If you do not have the system recalibrated, you may void your warranty. This could leave you responsible for the cost of repairs if the system malfunctions.
In Conclusion
To avoid these risks, it is important to have your ADAS system recalibrated after a windshield replacement. The recalibration process is typically quick and easy, and it can help to ensure that your ADAS system is working properly and providing you with the safety benefits that it was designed to offer.
