Front-Facing Camera Calibration After a Windshield Replacement

Front-Facing Camera Calibration After a Windshield Replacement

Your windshield may look perfect after a replacement, but on many newer vehicles, there is another important question:

Was the front-facing camera properly aligned after the windshield was replaced?

Many vehicles use a camera mounted near the rearview mirror to support features such as lane departure warnings, lane keeping assistance, forward collision warnings, and other driver-assistance functions.

That camera is positioned in relation to the windshield. When the windshield is removed and replaced, the camera and its mounting position can be affected by the replacement process.

That is why front-facing camera alignment and calibration can be an important part of a windshield replacement.

When should you ask about calibration?

If your vehicle has a camera mounted behind the windshield, ask whether it requires a calibration procedure after windshield replacement.

It is especially important to check when:

• The windshield was recently replaced
• The camera or camera bracket was removed or disturbed
• A warning light or driver-assistance message appeared
• Lane-assistance or collision-warning features are not operating normally
• The replacement windshield has different camera-related markings or mounting features
• Your vehicle manufacturer specifies calibration following windshield replacement

Not every vehicle is the same

Calibration requirements vary by year, make, model, windshield configuration, camera system, and manufacturer procedures.

A windshield replacement is not simply a matter of making the glass fit.

The correct windshield, correct camera mounting position, proper installation, and appropriate calibration procedure all matter.
