Jeep ADAS
Jeep vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) rely heavily on sensors and cameras mounted on the windshield to function properly. As such, any windshield replacement on a Jeep vehicle with ADAS requires recalibration of these systems to ensure they work as intended.
In the USA, several companies offer Jeep windshield replacement and ADAS calibration services, including Safelite, Novus Glass, and Auto Glass Now. These companies use state-of-the-art equipment to perform the calibration, which can be either static or dynamic.
Static calibration involves using a specialized target or pattern placed in a specific location relative to the vehicle to recalibrate the ADAS sensors and cameras. This method is typically used for systems such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning.
Dynamic calibration, on the other hand, involves driving the vehicle on a specific route that triggers the ADAS systems to recalibrate themselves. This method is typically used for systems such as automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
The specific ADAS systems impacted by a windshield replacement will depend on the year, make, and model of the Jeep vehicle. However, some common systems that may require recalibration include lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. It is important to note that failure to properly calibrate these systems after a windshield replacement can result in their malfunction, potentially leading to accidents or other safety concerns.
