24-GHz radar sensor system* (coun-
try 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 (Y page 226). The current country
overview can be obtained from a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Vehicles with COMAND and navigation
system*: the radar sensor system is deacti-
vated automatically near radio telescope
facilities. If Distronic Plus*, Park Assist*, Parking Guidance*, Blind Spot Assist* or
PRE-SAFE
®
Brake* 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 (Y page 226).
Vehicles without COMAND and naviga-
tion system* and vehicles for Australia:
deactivate the radar sensor system in the on-
board computer when you are near a radio
telescope facility (Y page 226). Country Radio telescope
