ADAS Features and Windshield Replacement: ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features such as lane departure warning and forward collision alert have become common in modern vehicles, including the Audi 100/A6. These systems often rely on sensors and cameras mounted near or on the windshield to function effectively.

During windshield replacement, it is crucial to ensure that these ADAS features are recalibrated to ensure proper functionality. Recalibration is typically performed by authorized service centers or technicians who use specialized equipment to align and calibrate the sensors and cameras to the new windshield’s position.

It’s important to consult the vehicle’s manufacturer guidelines and recommendations for ADAS recalibration after windshield replacement to maintain the safety and performance of these systems.

Please note that the availability of specific ADAS features and the recalibration process may vary depending on the generation and trim level of the Audi 100/A6. It is always recommended to consult the vehicle’s manual or contact an authorized Audi dealer or service center for accurate and up-to-date information regarding ADAS features and recalibration.
