2015 E63 Wagon
Hit a car backing up last. No sensor beep, no auto brake, no nothing!

Like the title says, last night I was backing up in a dark parking lot and couldn't see the back end of a Lexus. Next thing you know I hit his right rear bumper. No warning from my car whatsoever. Also I thought these cars would stop before you hit something?

Bummed,
Hector

Sorry man

No, they don't stop like the Cadillac and Infiniti

Not sure if your parktronic was inadvertently turned off? The button is on the dash

Do the AMG's come with parktronic standard or do you still have to add it?

Had this happen in my w211. I lightly tapped a 3ft cement barrier that couldn't be seen over the rear deck. Parktronic never said a thing!

Standard

The Eco button is just to the left of the parktronic button and I have pressed the parktronic button inadvertently as I often go for the Eco to shut it off
