WTF? Brand New ML says Blind Spot Sensor Deactivated?
I just picked up my brand new 2012 ML for wife and the coming baby..
However, the $800CAD option - Blind Spot assistant is NOT working and it says Blind Spot Assistant Sensor Deactivated? is there a setting problem or I am too stupid? the sales person told me it will activate once you drive over 30KM/hour but it's NOT working at all!!!

any idea?

You may have turned it off or have something covering a sensor. Snow will do that may leaf? Old ML had an on/off button. Manual time :-)

I'm still waiting for my ML order so these are all from the owners manual.

Activate the radar sensor system (page 236), then activate Blind Spot Assist (page 232).
