Nissan vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) require calibration after a windshield replacement to ensure proper functioning of the systems. In the USA, several companies offer Nissan windshield replacement and ADAS calibration services, including Safelite, Novus Glass, and Auto Glass Now.

The calibration method used for Nissan ADAS systems depends on the specific system being recalibrated. Generally, there are two types of calibration: static and 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 Nissan vehicle. 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 proper ADAS calibration is critical for the safety of the driver, passengers, and other road users. Failure to properly calibrate the ADAS systems after a windshield replacement can lead to malfunctions, potentially causing accidents or other safety concerns. Nissan recommends having the ADAS systems recalibrated by an authorized Nissan dealership or a certified technician using Nissan-approved equipment to ensure proper calibration.
