Blind spot sensors

I don't know about anyone else but I find the "blind spot" sensors woefully weak...I almost got nailed backing out of a parking spot. I came from a '14 Avalon that had sensors that would alert me in that circumstance. And now the audible alert doesn't work. I like the '16 glc 300 but don't think that feature is up to par...definitely not worth the cost

Is blind spot assist even suppose to be used as an aid in this situation?

Do you have the the driver assistance package? I believe you need that in order to get rear cross-traffic alert. Otherwise you only get blind spot assist.

I find most MB owners are willing to put up with Mr. Benz's idiosyncrasies in fact, even make excuses for them. Whether they're truly in step with him or are embarrassed for spending so much and finding out it's still not enough is open for debate...

People here are trying to help you. Why the attitude? Your post clearly shows you don't know how blind spot assist works.

"spending so much"? I would say not spending enough. Like an expensive steak house, everything is à la carte. If you dont pay for the feature, its not included. No value meals here.
