Windshield Replacement and ADAS Recalibration in Portsmouth, NH

WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT & ADAS RECALIBRATION SERVICE

NEW WINDSHIELDS AND ADJUSTED SAFETY FEATURES

Windshield replacement is harder than it looks sometimes. There are situations where the dealership will need to order the glass for the windshield, and it takes some time to get almost any windshield installed. However, the addition of the modern ADAS complicates things further. The vehicle's entire safety system will have to be recalibrated after the car's windshield is replaced. Otherwise, there could be some problems with the vehicle's safety system. Seacoast Mazda technicians have experience with this recalibration process.

RECALIBRATING AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS

Portsmouth residents may have had car windshields replaced in the past without having to worry about any other system adjustments. Getting a new windshield seems like it should be much simpler than getting almost any other replacement part. However, the ADAS of the vehicle should have cameras that influence systems related to car accident avoidance and the monitoring of the vehicle's blind spots. These systems can even help estimate whether or not the driver is becoming sleepy or starting to drive erratically.

ADAS recalibration is necessary as these sensors and cameras are highly dependent on visual information. Changing the windshield could make a difference regarding that visual information. The cameras and the safety sensors are also frequently mounted on the vehicle's windshield itself, although the exact configuration of these sorts of safety systems will vary. When North Hampton technicians calibrate the safety system, they will literally test the sensors and the cameras in order to confirm that they're still functioning effectively. The technicians can make important adjustments if necessary.

SAFER VEHICLES

Vehicle safety systems have improved tremendously over the years. The ADAS cameras and sensors that a lot of cars now have can prevent a very wide range of different collisions and accidents. Most drivers will replace their windshields automatically if something happens to the windshield, but they might not think that they need to be as careful with the ADAS. Cars did not always have features like these, and this can make a lot of people feel as if those features are beneficial but not required.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SEACOAST MAZDA

It's important to note that most of the safety features in cars were treated like that at one point or another historically. People once believed that seat belts were superfluous. Older cars were much less safe than newer cars on many different levels. Some Seacoast Mazda technicians are experienced enough to remember these sorts of vehicles. Now, individuals in Portsmouth and elsewhere tend to treat modern safety features for granted, and that includes the safety features that were created in the last few decades. The very newest safety features are just as important and valuable. They need to be upgraded with the windshields.
