So youâre driving through Auburn, and itâs snowing. Not a soft, movie-magic flurry. No, this is that sideways, aggressive snow that turns your windshield into a frosted funhouse mirror.
Your wipers are flailing, youâre gripping the wheel like it owes you money, and every time your car beeps, youâre thinking, âIs that a lane warning? Is my tire low? Am I dying?â
Sound familiar?
Thatâs your carâs ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) trying to help⌠or trying to have a panic attack of its own because itâs out of calibration. Which, by the way, can happen any time you get a windshield replaced, have a minor accident, or even just sneeze wrong near the sensors.
Alright, not that last one. But you get the point.
If you live in or around Auburn, WA, and havenât had your ADAS recalibrated lately, letâs fix that. Because icy roads, thick fog, and a glitchy lane assist system? Not a trio you want to take on the road together.
Great question.
ADAS is the blanket term for all those helpful features in your car like:
Lane departure warnings
Adaptive cruise control
Forward collision alerts
Automatic emergency braking
Parking assist (aka âplease donât let me scratch this rentalâ)
These features rely on cameras and sensorsâusually mounted right behind your windshield. And guess what happens when you replace that windshield, hit a pothole hard enough to knock your soul out, or change anything about the ride height?
Your ADAS goes out of alignment.
Itâs like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription. Things look mostly okay, but if you squint too long, youâre going to drive into a bush. Or worse.
ADAS calibration is the process of re-tuning those sensors so they work like theyâre supposed to. And yesâitâs important. Especially in the winter.
If youâve driven through Auburn in December, you already know what Iâm talking about. One day itâs raining, the next day itâs snowing, and suddenly youâre hydroplaning into a fog bank that looks like it was brewed in a wizardâs basement.
And in those moments, when visibility is low and traction is iffy, you want your safety systems working perfectly.
Lane assist that lags?
Collision alerts that go off ten seconds too late?
Adaptive cruise that doesnât adapt?
Thatâs a problem. Especially when youâre driving on Highway 18 and every semi-truck is flying by like itâs auditioning for a Fast & Furious reboot.
Letâs say you recently had a windshield replacement (and if you havenât, letâs be honestâyou probably need one). If the shop that replaced it didnât also recalibrate your ADAS⌠well, thatâs like baking a cake and forgetting the flour.
