Can't switch to Individual Mode?

Hoping this is nothing but I was out running some errands in the car earlier today and on my last startup, the car wouldn't let me click up into Individual Mode. I could cycle through all other modes just fine, as well as make individual adjustments to each mode to "mimic" my Individual Mode. Anyhow, didn't stop and restart the car since I had other stuff to do when I got home, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

In my 2021 C63S with AMG drive unit you press the button to go to individual, you don't turn the dial.

I believe the op has a PFL model which does not have the drive unit. He’s using the switch on the center console.

Yes this is a bug. I occasionally get this issue. On top of that, sometimes all the settings in the Individual mode gets wiped and I have to redo it again. It's annoying but it is what it is.

Good to know I'm not the only one. Does it go back to working on its own?

The only time that ever happened to me was when it was low on fuel. I thought it might have been some way to force the car to stay in Comfort mode to conserve fuel when I was nearing the end of the tank, but never tested my hypothesis after that. As others have said, it might just be a glitch.

Curious how low you were? That's certainly not the case with me I still have just under half a tank.

The dynamic switch issue happens to me every 3-12 restarts of my c63S. Mercedes knows of the issue but will not fix it, because it would be massive recall. It’s actually an issue with your Comand system and if you can convince your dealership to back you up, Mercedes may change it since they know about the issue. It’s actually a safety issue, because sometime other systems in the car are go offline like ABS or airbags. There must be other that doesn’t give off any warnings.

For me when the dynamic switch doesn’t work, I make sure to shut the car down and turn the car back on. Then all the systems are back online.

I had a similar problem and changed the switch pack. Lots of how to's to pop up the center console. Then a single plug and a couple screws. Maybe don't overthink it. When you look closely at how it's made, it's definitely not a high quality switch. Not to mention it's directly in the spill zone if you use your cup holders.

Low enough that I got the flashing alert telling me to refuel. Could have been purely coincidental.

Ok yeah I was nowhere near being that low.
