Sensor monitoring range
Blind Spot Assist is able to monitor a range
up to three meters to the rear and both
sides of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Assist sensors are built into
the front and rear bumpers. Make sure that
the area of the bumpers around the sen-
sors is free of dirt, ice and snow. The radar
sensors must not be obstructed, for exam-
ple, by bicycle carriers or overhanging lug-
gage.
Warning! G
Blind Spot Assist monitors certain areas in
the immediate vicinity of your vehicle. Vehi-
cles approaching and passing at increased
speeds will not be detected. There will be no
warning display and no audible warning.
When driving in a very wide lane, the sensors
may not be able to cover the entire width of
the neighboring lane. Vehicles driving on the
outside of the neighboring lane may not be
detected.
It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to
be attentive to road, weather and traffic con-
ditions and to provide the steering, braking
and other driving inputs necessary to retain
control of the vehicle. Failure to do so could
result in recognizing dangers too late, possi-
bly resulting in an accident and serious inju-
ry to yourself and others.
When driving in a very narrow lane, the sen-
sors may detect and display vehicles in the
second lane over. This will be the case if
there are vehicles driving on the inside edge
of their lane.
!
In the event of a significant impact or dam-
age affecting the bumpers, have the radar sen-
sors checked by a qualified specialist workshop
such as a Mercedes-Benz Center. Failure to do
so can result in Blind Spot Assist not functioning
correctly.
