Location 

The front near and long-range radar sensor is located in the center, in front of the radiator.

Tasks 

The near and long-range radar sensor has the following tasks:

The control electronics integrated in the near and long-range radar sensor actuates the long range radar and evaluate the target data. The front short and long range radar sensor transmits the object data via the suspension FlexRay (Flex E) to the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive control unit.

This results in the following tasks for the near and the long-range radar sensor:

Reading in input factors 

The front near and long-range radar sensor receives amongst other things the following input signals via the chassis FlexRay:

Evaluation of input factors 

Input factors are evaluated by the integrated control electronics.

Actuation of components 

The short and long range radar sensor actuates the radome heater (R61) via a direct line.

Transmission of initial parameters 

The near and long-range radar sensor transmits amongst other things the following initial parameters via the chassis FlexRay:

Structure 

The front near and long range radar sensor contains control electronics for actuating and evaluating the long range radar.

IMPORTANT The front short and long range radar sensor must be readjusted after replacement (e. g. after an accident repair) via the integrated "Service Adjustment mode".
