ra dar or ultrasonic sensors tomonitor the area
in front of, behind or next totheve hicle (depend‐
ing on theve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integ rated behind the bumpers
and/or behind the Mercedes star. The ultrasonic
sensors are located in the front and rear bump‐
ers. Keep these parts free of dirt, ice and slush (/
page 469). The sensors must not be cov‐
ered, forex ample bybicycle rack s, overhanging
loads, sticke rs,fo il or foils toprotect against

can li kewise impair the function of the ultrasonic
sensors. In theeve nt of dama getothe bumpers
or radiator grille, or following a collision impact‐
ing the bumpers or radiator grille, ha vethe func‐
tion of the sensors checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. If the sensors are damaged,
