borders.
The two sensors for Blind Spot Assist are
integrated into the sides of the rear bumper.
Make sure that the bumper is free from dirt,
ice or slush around the sensors. For example,
the radar sensors must not be covered by
cycle racks or overhanging loads. Following a
severe impact or in the event of damage to
the bumpers, have the function of the radar
sensors checked at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Blind Spot Assist may otherwise not
work properly.
