Windshield Sensor Types
Modern windshields often come equipped with advanced sensors designed to improve safety and comfort. Here are some of the most common windshield sensors and how they work.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
The lane departure warning system uses a forward-facing camera mounted near the windshield to track lane markings. If your car drifts without signaling, the system alerts you with sound or vibration. This helps drivers avoid accidents caused by unintentional lane changes.
Rain Sensor
Rain sensors detect moisture on the windshield using optical or infrared technology. When rain is detected, the wipers automatically activate and adjust their speed based on rainfall intensity, improving driver visibility and safety.
Humidity Sensor
Humidity sensors measure the amount of moisture in the air to help prevent windshield fogging and maintain interior comfort. They’re often integrated with climate control systems. For windshield sensor replacement or calibration, call (661) 208-2081.
