Where is the sensor for Mercedes-Benz Collision Prevention Assist System located?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz Collision Prevention Assist System sensor is located inside the front bumper of the vehicle. Below are relevant details: 1. Collision Prevention Assist System: The Collision Prevention Assist System is an intelligent device designed to prevent vehicle collisions. It can automatically detect vehicles, pedestrians, or other obstacles that may potentially collide with the car, issuing alerts and simultaneously taking measures such as braking or evasive actions to avoid collisions. 2. Components: The system consists of monitoring elements, an information processing center, and an actuator. The monitoring elements use sensing technologies such as radar, laser, and sonar to detect the vehicle's speed, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the distance between the two vehicles. The information processing center, a computer, processes the distance between the two vehicles and their instantaneous relative speed to determine the safe distance. If the distance between the two vehicles is less than the safe distance, the information processing center will issue commands. The actuator implements the commands from the information processing center, sounding an alarm to alert the driver to brake. If the driver does not execute the command, the actuator will take measures such as closing windows, adjusting seat positions, locking the steering wheel, and automatic braking.
Last week when I went to the 4S店 for maintenance, I specifically asked the technician about Mercedes-Benz's collision avoidance radar system. It's mainly hidden behind the emblem and on both sides of the bumper. That oversized three-pointed star emblem actually serves as a protective cover for the millimeter-wave radar. If you crouch down and look at the honeycomb-patterned grids on the left and right sides of the bumper, you'll find auxiliary radar probes hidden behind them. When washing your car, never blast these areas with high-pressure water jets, as water entering the sensors can cause false alarms. Last time, my friend's car kept alerting about obstacles ahead because the bumper radar was caked with mud. I recommend everyone pay attention to these three key areas during car washes – keeping the sensor surfaces clean is more important than anything else.
