What is the cause of the protection system failure in the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz GLC260 protection system failures are usually caused by issues such as airbag damage. Below is relevant information: Common causes: Damaged airbag, faulty seat belt sensor, defective airbag sensor, anti-tow hitch issues, vehicle battery depletion, spark plug damage. Mercedes-Benz Protection System: The Mercedes-Benz pre-collision safety system is called PRESAFE, also known as the pre-safe protection system. It provides the vehicle with the ability to react, making certain self-protection adjustments upon detecting danger to avoid or reduce the degree of injury.
I often deal with vehicle maintenance, and for the Mercedes-Benz GLC 260's protection systems, such as the Pre-Safe Assist function, malfunctions are commonly caused by sensor issues. For example, the radar or camera at the front of the car might be covered by dust or mud, leading to false alarms. Additionally, electronic modules like the ECU control unit can trigger sudden system alerts if the software version is outdated or has errors. I once handled a case where a minor software bug caused the issue. Poor wiring connections are also not uncommon, especially the sections connected to these sensors, which may loosen due to vibration or water erosion. Battery aging can also cause voltage instability, making the entire protection system flash red. It's best to first visit a professional shop to read the fault codes for confirmation. When driving, avoid going too fast in heavy rain or muddy roads to reduce sensor dust accumulation.
