MFD error/warning

[mcmaddy]

Im well aware of that but you still dont get either on mfd!

Unless the Park Pilot sensors had failed, and if that was the case I would expect a warning in the MFD.

A picture from the op would be handy

Sorry for delay.

To clarify this displays on the mfd between speedo and Rev counter.

The symbol is the same one as when you press and hold the button to turn ESP off and put it into sport mode (was playing around at the w/e whilst sat in a car park waiting for my wife and daughter).  It showsa smaller version of the symbol, in white, of the vehicle with two semi circles at the same positions mentioned above and says something like ACC and front assist deactivated or unavailable (wife has got the car at the mo so can't be specific)

So looks like a prob with the radar function?  Next time it flashes up car will go into the dealers for checking and software upgrade.

If its the same as the ESP button then have you simply not lost traction and this has flashed up on the display?

[Silvadadi]

nope

Silvadadi: Sounds like the symbol you see at the bottom of the MFD when your car has determined that you are closer to the car in front than it would advise, but also letting you know that front assist is off and so it won't intervene (by braking). You can go into the car menu and switch front assist back on.

Or I think you just press the left hand stalk in and it allows you to toggle Front Assist on and off

Someone read the manual - I really should get around to it one of these days, i'm sure there's allsorts the MK7 can do that i'm unaware of.

hmmm must admit I haven't checked to see if front assist is still ticked but to reiterate this has flashed up when nothing was directly in front of me however cars were on both near side and offside at the time but neither they or I encroached on the other.  I will check front assist and ACC out later tomorrow when I get the keys back from "command module"
