ADAS is standard on every S-Class ever made. Here's what calibration involves.
| ADAS Feature | Uses Windshield Camera? | Affected by Replacement? |
|---|---|---|
| PRE-SAFE Brake | Yes — stereo camera | Camera angle may shift |
| Active Lane Keeping Assist | Yes — stereo camera | Camera angle may shift |
| Active Blind Spot Assist | Radar + camera | Camera angle may shift |
| Distance Pilot DISTRONIC | Radar + camera | Camera angle may shift |
| Active Steering Assist | Yes — stereo camera | Camera angle may shift |
| Heads-Up Display | Projection only | Glass spec matters — not camera |
| Rain-Sensing Wipers | Sensor on glass | Sensor housing must match |
Every S-Class has ADAS standard — calibration is mandatory, no exceptions. The stereo camera + radar system requires precise alignment using static calibration targets after every windshield replacement.
Our recommendation: Always use insurance for S-Class windshield replacement. The total cost ($1,200–$2,200) is fully covered by comprehensive policies, and there's no reason to pay out of pocket when your coverage handles everything.
