How to use Mercedes e300 handbrake？

For Mercedes-Benz E300 before model year 2015, the use of handbrake is very simple. Just press the handbrake pedal to finish parking. If you need to release the handbrake, just pull the handbrake handle under the light switch on the left side of the instrument panel.

However, for the new Mercedes-Benz E300, the hand brake is used in a slightly different way. There are two ways to open the handbrake: one is controlled by the handbrake switch under the light switch on the left side of the instrument panel. As long as you press the switch, you can start the parking brake. When you need to release the parking state, just press the handbrake switch. Another way is that the vehicle will automatically control the handbrake. When the vehicle comes to a stop and steps on the brake pedal to shift into P gear, the vehicle will automatically start the parking brake. When it is necessary to release the handbrake, just shift into D or R and press the accelerator pedal.

It is worth noting that the hand brake is a very important safety device to prevent the vehicle from sliding or rolling when parking. Therefore, it is very necessary to use the handbrake correctly. When using the handbrake, you should first stop the vehicle completely, then pull up the handbrake pedal or handbrake switch, and finally put it into P gear. When releasing the handbrake, you should first shift into D or R gear, and then press the accelerator pedal, and the handbrake will be released automatically.

In short, the use of the handbrake of Mercedes-Benz E300 is very simple, no matter whether it is old or new, just follow the above steps. The use of the hand brake can not only ensure the safety of the vehicle, but also prolong the service life of the brake system, so the hand brake must be used correctly when parking.
