SYSTEMS ARE MORE WIDESPREAD AND SMARTER THAN EVER
Your current car is a lot smarter than the one you were driving ten years ago. This is true for all makes, from entry models to luxury SUVs. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming increasingly more common in vehicules… and for good reason! They greatly enhance both your safety and the safety of all others sharing the road.
RECALIBRATING THE CAMERA IS KEY
Most Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) operate, among other things, using a camera located on the windshield behind the rearview mirror. When you replace your windshield, it’s important to have your camera recalibrated by experts, according to the manufacturer’s standards. It’s a matter of safety.
Did you know that most Canadian insurers now cover camera recalibration costs along with windshield replacement claims?
