Static vs. Dynamic Calibration: What You Need to Know BEFORE a Windshield Replacement
Why ADAS Calibration Matters
Today’s vehicles rely on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to help drivers stay safe on the road. From lane departure warnings to emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, these features depend on precise camera and sensor alignment—often mounted directly to the windshield.
After a windshield replacement, even the slightest shift can throw these systems off. That’s why ADAS calibration is not optional—it’s required to ensure your car sees the road the way the manufacturer intended.
What Is Static Calibration?
Static ADAS calibration is performed indoors, using precisely positioned targets and specialized equipment while the vehicle remains stationary.
Key Facts:
Requires a controlled environment
Uses printed targets or alignment boards
Takes more time and space
Often required by European or high-end vehicles
Static calibration is extremely accurate, but due to its complexity, not every shop has the space or tools to perform it in-house.
Dynamic ADAS calibration takes place on the road. A technician uses OEM scan tools and drives the vehicle at specific speeds, allowing the system to detect road markings, signage, and environmental cues.
Key Facts:
Performed during real-world driving
Requires a diagnostic scan tool
Ideal for many mainstream vehicles
Typically faster and compatible with mobile service
Dynamic calibration is the go-to method for most domestic and Asian vehicles, making it more accessible for mobile service providers like True Auto Glass.
What is Dynamic Calibration?
The type of calibration depends on:
Your vehicle's make, model, and year
The complexity of the ADAS system
Manufacturer-specific guidelines
Some vehicles even require both static and dynamic calibration for complete accuracy.
