What owners wrote

My 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ repeatedly showed "Active Brake Assist Functions Limited," "Active Emergency Stop Assist Inoperative," and Blind Spot Assist warnings, photographed by September 23, 2026. On September 24, I reported these issues and showed photos to an authorized dealer. Electronic repairs were performed, but warnings returned. The repair record lists Blind Spot Assist as "not verified"; I have no record of an Active Brake Assist test.
