Ryan Fowler

Hello-

I've done quite a few searches on Google and the forums here to see if anyone else has encountered this problem - while some have none are on the same model or circumstance that I am.

I purchased a new ML550 last week, 2013 that just came in off of delivery. The day I picked the vehicle up they had done a "quick" pre-delivery inspection and then the final delivery work. I noticed on the multi-function display "pre-safe functionality limited" when I started the car but I pressed OK and went on my way.

I've noticed after a week of driving that the message persists and things like the blind spot driver assist has the orange triangles solidly lit non-stop and do not indicate when an obstruction is in the blind spot.

The DIstronic cruise control is also entirely disabled unless I turn off distronic.

My question is - is there a delivery task that they forgot in the shop to enable these features, or is this indicative of faulty equipment right off the lot?

Thanks for any tips/insight,
-Ryan

Hey Ryan!

I just got the same car you're driving the GL550 2013.
And I am having the exact same problem. The pre-safe functions limited warning and the inoperable distronic warning.
I haven't been lucky to find anything for the matter except your post dated January.

Have you figured it out already?

Thanks
Vlad

You both may have more luck if you post in the correct forum: https://mbworld.org/forums/gl-class-x166-173/

Dear Ryan,

I purchased a new ML350 two months ago and I have exactly the same problem... Did you find out what was the root cause of these messages? I am from Slovak repbulic.

Many thanks for your response.

You wont believe that I have paid over 100.000,- EUR for this car in a country where the average income is arround 890,- EUR per month and I have a car which is a piece of crap...
