What causes the advanced driver assistance systems ADAS like lane assist and collision prevention to malfunction in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

Features such as lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision prevention sometimes stop working o r give false warnings. This is often due to sensor misalignment, camera obstruction, software glitches, o r damage caused by rough road conditions prevalent in Pakistan.

ADAS malfunctions occur due to:

Sensor Misalignment o r Obstruction: Cameras and radar sensors can get misaligned by impacts o r become blocked by dirt, dust, o r weather conditions.

Software Glitches: Outdated o r corrupted software can cause false warnings o r system failures.

Damage from Rough Roads: Vibrations and shocks from poor road surfaces in Pakistan can damage sensors.

Improper Repairs o r Modifications: Aftermarket parts o r unprofessional repairs can interfere with system calibration.

Calibration Needs: After wheel alignment o r suspension repairs, ADAS sensors may need recalibration.

Regular cleaning of sensors, software updates, and professional calibrations help maintain ADAS reliability.
