Anyway to shut off the crash nanny?
here is my situation.
While manuvering at high speed the car thought it knew better than I did and applied the brakes during the manuver.....not cool and almost messed up my manuver.
Any way to turn this off?

What kind of maneuver? Maybe some after market device? I haven’t seen anything in the menus.

I found it in the menus on how to turn off the little red triangle that pops up on the speedometer when it thinks your going to crash.

Which menu exactly? I’d like to look at it. Probably in the CAR/SYSTEM settings I would think? Thanks!

You may have a bad radar sensor as these nannies should be very quiet unless you are about to really hit something. I had that problem on my S63 where the car would think something was about to hit it and go into a reactionary mode. Very dangerous actually. MB Dealer replaced a rear radar sensor and the car behaves perfectly now.

I have run into the situation where::
----------------------------
There is 2 car lengths between (well) 2 cars, and I want to get out from behind a truck and in between these 2 cars.
The 2 cars are going slightly faster than me, and the tuck is slightly slower.
As I toe in some throttle and steer from behind the truck aiming for between the 2 cars, the brakes go on hard almost causing the trailing car to run into me.
{If this was on an icy road, the braking even would have put the car out of control.}
----------------------------
I would also like to setup Distronic+ such that it NEVER uses the brakes to slow the car. Any options here ?

I was close, but only I know how big my car is and where it will fit.
The sensors are good, no issue there.
I was very close, but only I know where my car can fit.
I disabled it in the vehicle menu.
