Mercedes-Benz GLC : Parking / Information on collision detection on a parked vehicle
If a collision is detected when the tow-away
alarm is armed on a locked vehicle, you will
receive a notification in the multimedia system
when you switch on the ignition.
You will receive information about the following
points:
- The area of the vehicle that may have been
damaged.
- The force of the impact.
The following situations can lead to inadvertent
activation:
- The parked vehicle is moved, e.g. in a twostory
garage.
Deactivate the tow-away alarm in order to
prevent inadvertent activation. If you deactivate
the tow-away alarm, collision detection
will also be deactivated.
If the battery is severely discharged, the
function for detecting a collision on a parked
vehicle is automatically deactivated to facilitate
the next engine start.
System limits
Detection may be restricted in the following situations:
- The vehicle is damaged without impact, e.g.
if an outside mirror is torn off or the paint is
damaged by a SmartKey
- An impact occurs at low speed
- The electric parking brake is not applied
Function of the electric parking brake (applying automatically)
WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due to children left unattended in the
vehicle
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle,
they could, in particular:
open doors, thereby endangering other
persons or road users...
If you leave the vehicle parked for longer than six
weeks, it may suffer damage through disuse.
The 12 V battery may also be impaired or damaged
by heavy discharging...
Other information:
How the restraint system works is determined by
the severity of the impact detected and the type
of accident anticipated:
Frontal impact
Rear impact
Side impact
Rollover
The activation thresholds for the components of
the restraint system are determined based on
the evaluation of the sensor values measured at
various points in the vehicle...
