Mercedes Collision Prevention assist plus inoperative?

Got this message this morning, thought I felt some sort of braking or hesitation but it was super super minor going maybe 25 mph right down the hill from my house. Pulled over restarted the car and the message was gone car drove fine rest of the way, I even pushed it a bit. So wtf was that all about? Everything I find on this forum puts it on some limp mode and something major happens but it wasn’t limp, should I be worried? Of course no warranty, Dammit 2020

I have the same thing on my 2017 GLC-300 4 Matic - no performance issues, noted, only the instrument cluster warning "Collision Prevention Assist Plus Inoperative". There are a number of threads on this subject over the years. I found this article interesting: https://xenons4u.co.uk/blog/collisio...rative-message
Seems plausible. My car still has a few months of the MFG warranty on it, and I've made a service appt. with the local dealer for next week. Fingers crossed!

I only had that happen that one time, it was weird. It’s probably because I didn’t put my front bumper back completely right installing the new grille and star. Although it looks fine lol. Car still runs great, I think I’m just really paranoid after the wrist pin nightmare. I have a 2018 engine block now, but it’s a MY15 so it still has that sport exhaust! I just hit 60k miles(on the car not the engine) yesterday and have an appointment to get it serviced. B service with transmission service. It’s with an Indy shop who was like $400 bucks cheaper than the dealer and had 5 stars on Yelp so fingers crossed.
