ADAS Calibration FAQs — South Lake Tahoe
Why does a new windshield require ADAS calibration?
The safety camera looks through the glass from a precise position. Even a tiny change from a new windshield can throw off where the system thinks the road and other cars are — calibration re-aims it so automatic braking and lane-keep work as designed.
Static vs. dynamic calibration — what's the difference?
Static uses fixed targets in the shop; dynamic uses a road drive at set speeds. Your vehicle's make and model dictate which (or both) are needed. A South Lake Tahoe shop with the right equipment will know your requirement.
Is calibration really necessary, or can I skip it?
Skipping it leaves your driver-assist features mis-aimed — they may brake late or read lanes wrong. It's a genuine safety step, not an upsell, on any camera-equipped vehicle.
