One of the most dangerous myths we hear is:
“The dashboard’s not lit up, so the systems must be fine.”
Nope.Wrong.Absolutely not.
Your car’s warning lights only tell you if something is catastrophically wrong.They don’t tell you if your radar is a few degrees off, or your camera is pointing slightly downward.
That’s where calibration comes in.
Your Car Might Be Out of Alignment and You’d Never Know
Until:
Your auto-brake doesn’t kick in
Your blind spot system doesn’t warn you
You rely on your rear sensors and… crunch
Your lane-keep assist drifts you into the next lane
And all of it happens without a single light on the dash.
Why This Matters Post-Repair
If your car had any of the following worked on:
Bumper
Windshield
Suspension
Cameras
Radars
Mirrors
Any ADAS module
You need to ask if calibration was performed — and if not, why not.
Final Word: The Dashboard Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story
Don't wait for a light to come on.By the time it does? The system’s already failed.
