Driver assistance system calibration
Your experts for the precise calibration of front cameras and driver assistance systems after a glass replacement, mobile, to manufacturer specifications, with a report.
Why driver assistance systems matter
Driver assistance systems (ADAS) are built into most vehicles today, from emergency braking and adaptive cruise control to lane keeping and traffic sign recognition. Their camera sits behind the windscreen. Steinschlag.ch understands how important these technologies are for your safety and makes sure they work precisely again after every glass replacement.

- State-of-the-art, continuously updated software and diagnostic equipment
- Static or dynamic calibration according to manufacturer specification
- Calibration report for your records and your insurer
Why calibration is mandatory after a glass replacement
Precise calibration of the driver assistance systems after a windscreen replacement is essential: a deviation of just a few millimetres or a fraction of a degree causes the camera to misjudge lane markings, vehicles or pedestrians. We make sure the camera-based sensors behind the windscreen are adjusted exactly to prevent malfunctions.
Static or dynamic?
With static calibration the camera is measured while stationary using a manufacturer-specific calibration target. With dynamic calibration the system learns during a test drive with a connected diagnostic device. The vehicle manufacturer specifies which method is required, we master both.
The calibration process at Steinschlag.ch
We follow the manufacturer's specifications for calibrating driver assistance systems. After every glass replacement we calibrate the front camera precisely and document the process carefully.
- Diagnosis Reading the vehicle, checking for fault codes and determining the prescribed calibration method.
- Preparation Level surface, correct tyre pressure, alignment of the calibration target with the vehicle axis.
- Calibration Static with a calibration target or dynamic during a test drive, according to manufacturer specification.
- Function test Check of all assistance systems (lane keeping, emergency braking, adaptive cruise control).
- Report You receive a calibration report for your records and your insurer.
Questions about calibration
Does every windscreen replacement require calibration?
Yes, as soon as the vehicle has a camera behind the windscreen (lane keeping, emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition). A stone chip repair does not require calibration because the glass is not moved.
Does the insurance cover the cost of calibration?
Yes. Calibration is part of a professional glass replacement and is covered by the insurer with partial comprehensive cover. We settle directly.
Can the calibration be done mobile at my location?
Yes. Dynamic calibration takes place during a test drive; static calibration needs a level spot with enough room in front of the vehicle, if necessary we use one of our installation partners near you.
Which vehicle makes do you calibrate?
All common makes and models. Our diagnostic equipment and calibration targets are updated continuously.
