Thumbs up Partime distronic plus- 2013 G550
Our 2013 G550 has blind spot assist and park assist available and functional all the time, but distance measuring and correspondingly distronic plus Seems to come in and out? ( both come up as unavailable) Radar lense is clean and alternator was just replaced (so I don’t think voltage is an issue)
any ideas on how to recover distance measuring without a trip to the dealer?
thank you and happy holidays

Go to a dealer. This is not a function to be "messed" with. Good luck.

Distronic is the cruise control distance separation regulating function, but you mention blind spot assist, park assist and distance measuring that are entirely separate functions. Are you referring to the lens at the top center of your windscreen? If Distronic is coming and going, does this mean your cruise control behavior is intermittent?

Distronic plus and distance measuring are both unavailable- they both have worked in the past 2 weeks. I had my tires rotated and balanced at the dealer then they both went out?

Yep - it's back to the dealer on this one.
