Camera and Sensor Calibration

Static and dynamic calibration that keeps your driver-assist systems accurate after glass work.

Modern vehicles rely on cameras and sensors mounted near or on the windscreen to power Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — including lane keeping, emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and pedestrian detection. After any auto glass replacement, these systems must be calibrated to ensure they work exactly as intended.

Why calibration is essential

Removing and refitting a windscreen alters the alignment of the cameras and sensors behind it — even by fractions of a degree. That’s enough to compromise how your ADAS features read the road. Calibration is required every time an ADAS-enabled windscreen is replaced or removed, even when no warning lights appear on the dashboard. Skipping it is a genuine safety risk.

Types of calibration we offer

Autoboys Glass Services provides all three calibration types to manufacturer specifications at outlets across South Africa. Where camera and sensor calibration (ADAS) is required, our team will confirm availability and arrange the appropriate in-store booking.

Camera and Sensor Calibration — Frequently Asked Questions

Every time an ADAS-enabled windscreen is replaced or removed, the system needs to be calibrated — even if no warning lights appear on the dashboard. Windscreen removal affects the alignment of the cameras and sensors that power Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Without calibration, these systems will not operate as they should, which is a safety risk.

We offer all three types of camera and sensor calibration (ADAS):

  • Static calibration — performed while the vehicle is stationary, in a specialised fitment centre using highly sensitive equipment. Each ADAS module is tested and returned to optimal functionality. No driving is required.
  • Dynamic calibration — performed by driving the vehicle for a prescribed distance, at a prescribed speed, and in suitable weather conditions. A technician attaches a handheld device to the vehicle to aid the process during the drive.
  • Static and dynamic calibration — a combination of both methods, required for certain vehicles and ADAS configurations.

Our team will advise which type of calibration is required for your vehicle at the time of booking.
