I've searched for web for some help and failed to find anything obvious so I am posting here...
When I engage distronic plus, the graphic changes in the cluster, and I am able to change the distance between myself and the car in front. After a couple of seconds the graphic reverts back to whatever it was prior to turning on distronic plus. Fine. No problem.
Once you are driving and distronic is already engaged, I used to be able to turn the distronic stalk, and the graphic would come up and I would be able to see the distances changing in the graphic as I turned the stalk.
However, 3 months ago, suddenly, for no reason, no graphic comes up when I turn the stalk. I now have no idea how turning the stalk relates to distance between me and the car in front.
Its been to two Mercedes dealerships, and Mercedes UK Technical have been involved. All are telling me that the system is working as it should and if distronic is engaged, turning the stalk to adjust the distance should not make the graphic pop up in the cluster. In which case I have no idea how you can tell the relationship between turning the stalk and distance from the car in front!
So, can someone who has distronic plus, preferably owning an e class around 2015 model year, tell me how their distronic plus acts when the system is engaged and the stalk is turned to change distance ? Does the graphic change in the cluster and show distances changing ?
Many thx in advance.
