ADAS and Windshield Calibration

Recalibration is the vehicle-specific process used to return affected cameras and sensors to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Calibration depends on the exact vehicle, installed equipment and current manufacturer procedure rather than a universal rule.

Arizona law requires clear notice about calibration need, scope, manufacturer-specification results and insurance coverage.

Arizona requires written or electronic notice and directs the customer to a qualified facility when required calibration is incomplete.

The manufacturer determines whether calibration uses stationary targets, a prescribed road drive or both methods.

Aftermarket glass may be suitable when it meets glazing requirements and is compatible with the vehicle’s exact system and procedure.

Keep a vehicle-specific calibration outcome with the itemized work order rather than relying on a verbal statement.

Mobile work is possible only when the site, adhesive, equipment and manufacturer procedure can all be satisfied.

A warning light can identify a problem, but its absence does not prove that a manufacturer-required calibration was completed successfully.
