What does "All Assistance Systems Deactivated" on a Mercedes benz Vito

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
May 14, 2025

"All Assistance Systems Deactivated" on a Mercedes-Benz Vito 2015 means that the vehicle's driver assistance systems—such as Crosswind Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and others—are not active. This may occur due to manual deactivation, system malfunction, or if certain conditions (like system checks or faults) are not met. It is recommended to visit a qualified specialist workshop to diagnose and resolve the issue.
