I have a 2016 B Class W146. It has proximity alert systems for Front, Rear and each corner of the car - and I can't turn them off. I live in a rural setting with narrow roads, often having to pull in to allow other vehicles going the other way, to pass by. Now, I don't mind the system which warns if you are travelling too close to the car in front, or the rear-view camera system. However, I find myself constantly telling the alert system to 'STF up' and as I often carry young, impressionable grandchildren around, I am worried that I may forget that I am not alone in the car. The system also has a habit of alerting me for no reason!
It has got to the point where I may have to change the car to keep my sanity (I like the car!)
One of my neighbours (a GLE owner) said "just press the button on the console..." - I have no button. In a brief discussion with my mechanic (when I had a tyre burst on me!), he said, basically, "join the club!"
Please tell me that it is possible to switch off the proximity alert system!!!!
thanks
Andy
