Some Mercedes-Benz S550 owners report experiencing issues with the blind spot indicator, such as receiving the "Blind Spot Assist Inoperative" message due to electrical crises or damaged sensors in the active lane. Additionally, the blind spot system may work intermittently, causing messages like "Blind Spot Assist Currently Unavailable." If the blind spot sensors behind the rear bumper fail, owners may also notice impacts on the turn signals. Furthermore, some owners encounter cruise control malfunctions indicated by the "Cruise Control Inoperative" message, often linked to a defective brake pedal switch. To address these concerns, it is recommended to use diagnostic tools like the Xentry scan tool and to replace faulty blind spot radar sensors, ensuring that maintenance and repairs are performed by qualified mechanics to resolve these malfunctions effectively.
