DISTRONIC radar sensor group - GF30.30-P-0005-04GZ
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL550, 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450, 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63, 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML550, and 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Detection range of radar sensor (schematic)
With a low radar beam divergence 9° (sharp focussing), the radar sensor covers a very narrow area in front of the vehicle. For this reason, it is only used above a speed of 30 km/h (at greater safe distances).
Its detection range measures up to 150 m.
The radar sensor, which functions according to the "Pulse Doppler Principle", can measure the distance and the speed of individual objects (vehicles) independently of each other.
