Depending on the version and thickness, paints or
film coatings can cause dampening of radar waves.
This could lead to malfunction or system failure. The
driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an
accident.
The area of or around the sensor must not be
painted or covered with a film.

Note
If the areas of the sensors are damaged, please
have the settings and function of the radar sensors
checked at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Center. This also applies to
mild collisions at low speeds, where no damage in
the areas of the sensors is visible.
