Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind the Mercedes star. Keep these
parts free of dirt, ice and slush (/ page314).
The sensors must not be co vered, forex ample
by cycle rack s, overhanging loads, sticke rs,fo il
or foils toprotect against stone chipping. In the
