Default New Windshield - is calibration needed?

I'm getting my windshield replaced on my 2015 ES. The car has dynamic cruise control, but the lane departure assist wasn't a feature until 2016. As far as I understand, I don't need to have anything on the windshield recalibrated. Do I have that right? Thanks.

AFAIK the radar cruise was available only together with lane departure alert and pre-collision system. Check if you have a forward-looking camera on top of the windshield. If you do - then it would need to be recalibrated after windshield replacement..

I have a 2014 ES/UL fully loaded (i.e., with all the above). They had to recalibrate things. Especially since it is a safety device, I would not take chances--if you use/depend on those safety devices (I do and they work well!)
