That sounds familiar I've got an EQV too, and I had almost the exact same thing happen a while back. The radar sensor issue can cause all sorts of weirdness with the safety systems. It's like the car suddenly loses its mind. Have you tried just giving the sensor area a good clean Seriously, sometimes that's all it takes Road grime can really mess with those sensors. Where is the error memory pointing to, if you know

I haven't actually tried cleaning the sensor yet I assumed it would be a more complex electronic issue. Do you know where exactly the radar sensor is located on the EQV And is it easy to access for cleaning I don't have the exact error code details to hand, but I can check if that helps.

Okay, so on my EQV, the radar sensors are behind the front bumper, usually near the Mercedes star logo. It might be worth checking behind the plastic. I was quoted a fortune for radar calibration before someone suggested cleaning it. Honestly, I thought it was a long shot, but it worked If cleaning doesn't solve it, then yeah, you're probably looking at a trip to the workshop. I bet they will perform the radar calibration.

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice I cleaned the sensor area, and that seems to have done the trick The error message has disappeared, and all the driving assistance systems are back to normal. I took it to a workshop to get it checked over anyway, and they confirmed everything was working correctly after a quick diagnostic. Cost me only 45€ for the checkup. Saved me a fortune
