Newer model Chevrolets have windshields that are much more than a piece of glass. These windshields have embedded technologies such as forward-facing cameras called the front view camera module. These technologies must be recalibrated according to specifications when the windshield is replaced to ensure that they are working properly. You can trust us at Libertyville Chevrolet to provide your windshield replacement with ADAS recalibration service including front view camera module programming and setup.
ADAS stands for advanced driver assistance system. This technology assists the driver’s visibility and safety. Newer models equipped with this system have it embedded near the windshield. Windshield replacement disrupts the system and this requires recalibration when installing new glass. We have certified technicians who can recalibrate the ADAS according to the technical service protocol issued by General Motors.
This often involves an inspection to determine if the windshield glass can be repaired or if the damages are too great. Minor chips and cracks can be repaired using a special glass restoration protocol. Damages that cannot be fixed with the repair protocol can only be fixed with replacement. Sometimes the damage is so severe from a collision with glass shattering that replacement need is obvious. You can always trust us at Libertyville Chevrolet to inspect your windshield and determine what service is needed to correct the damage and restore peak visibility and safety while driving.
Windshield damages come in many different forms and severities. Minor glass chipping or cracking can be repaired without needing to recalibrate the ADAS. Severe damage that requires windshield replacement also requires recalibration of the ADAS for it to work properly. We use specialized diagnostic technology with a technical service protocol to test and adjust the ADAS calibration to specifications. You will need ADAS recalibration if you drive an equipped model that has the windshield replaced.
This is a high-stakes safety service requiring a certified technician, specialized diagnostics, and technical service protocol. This involves removing the old windshield, installing the new glass, and using high-tech diagnostic equipment to recalibrate the ADAS. Rest assured that after the service your windshield integrity and ADAS performance will be restored to factory specifications.
