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
