24-GHz radar sensor system* (country overview)
The 24 GHz radar sensor system requires separate approval for each country. When you are driving in a country in which the radar sensor system is not approved, you must deactivate the system using the on-board computer more. The current country overview is available from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Vehicles with COMAND and navigation system*: when you are near a radio telescope facility, the radar sensor system is deactivated automatically. If Distronic Plus*, Park Assist*, Park Guidance*, Blind Spot Assist* or PRE-SAFE® brake system* are activated at this point, a corresponding warning will appear in the multi-function display to tell you that the radar sensor system is being switched off. BAS PLUS* is also no longer available. If the deactivation does not occur automatically you must deactivate the radar sensor system using the on-board computer more.
Vehicles without COMAND and navigation system* and vehicles for Australia: when driving near radio telescope facilities you must deactivate the radar sensor system using the on-board computer more.
