I have a W212, E250 AMG with Blind Spot Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Distronic Plus.
I have noticed that on the M6 between Knutsford services and Sandbach services both North and Southbound i receive a warning message on the instrument display that says 'Distronic Plus Inoperative
Blind Spot Assist Inoperative, Pre-Safe functions limited'.
This has happened on every occasion on this stretch of motorway.
Has anyone else had the same issues?
 
Distronic functions will be disabled when close by radio/radar installations. Should be noted in the handbook.
Anything of that nature in the vicinity?
 
Similar happened to me same stretch for very brief moment

Distronic airfield radar interference

Evidently uses GPS co-ordinates to switch these systems off. Jodrell Bank is a passive device it receives signals rather than broadcasts them. Air traffic radar is the opposite of course but I believe the MB systems also are deactivated if they detect strong interference signals
