Driving and driving safety systems
Driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
whic
h assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐
vring the vehicle. The driving systems are tools
and do not relieve you of your responsibility. Pay
att
ention to the traffic conditions at all times
and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the
limitations regarding the safe use of these sys‐
tems.
Function of the radar sensors
Some driving and driving safety systems use
r
adar sensors to monitor the area in front of,
behind or next to the vehicle (depending on the
vehicle's equipment).
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the radar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind the radiator grille/Mercedes star.
Keep these parts free of dirt, ice and slush
(→ page 384). The sensors must not be covered,
for example by bicycle racks, overhanging loads
or radar-reflecting stickers. Following an impact
and in the event of associated damage, which
may not be visible, to the bumpers or radiator
grille, have the function of the radar sensors
checked at a qualified specialist workshop. The
driver assistance system may no longer work
properly.
