Distance Pilot not working in Individual setting

If I'm using Individual setting and try to engage Distance Pilot, I get flashing blanks where the speed would normally be and it will not engage.

I'm guessing user error but does anyone else have that problem?

Do you happen to have ESP in Sport? DISTRONIC will not engage if ESP is in Sport or off.

In fact I do. I'll need to experiment, I thought it worked in Sport when I was not in I.

Will it work in I if I have sport+ programmed in?

Good to know, thanks.

Manual seems to indicate it should work in Sport mode...

Additional advantages of Distance Pilot DISTRONIC:

Dynamics just as you wish.

The choice of "Economy" or "Sport" driving mode also influences the driving characteristics of the automatic proximity control function. In "Sport" mode, for example, the vehicle accelerates more decidedly and dynamically when changing lanes. The system places more emphasis on comfort in the "Economy" mode.
