Mercedes-Benz requires engaging the electronic parking brake after pressing P. Below is an introduction to Mercedes-Benz related content: 1. Mercedes-Benz SAM: The control unit refers to the Signal Acquisition and Actuation Module. If the SAM malfunctions, components such as headlights, turn signals, and wipers cannot be controlled while driving, posing safety hazards. 2. Mercedes-Benz: A German automotive brand recognized as one of the world's most successful premium car brands. It is renowned for its perfect technical standards, rigorous quality benchmarks, continuous innovation capabilities, and a series of classic coupe models. The Mercedes three-pointed star has become one of the most famous automotive emblems globally. Mercedes-Benz vehicles not only offer unparalleled quality but also a comprehensive model lineup, currently producing mainly A-Class (compact cars), C-Class (mid-range sedans/coupes), E-Class (executive sedans/coupes), S-Class (luxury sedans/coupes), and G-Class (SUV off-road vehicles).

I'm a tech enthusiast with a particular passion for automotive electronic systems. Most Mercedes-Benz models come equipped with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), where pressing the P gear automatically activates the handbrake function without requiring manual operation. This intelligent integration of sensors and controllers enhances locking automatically when the vehicle is on a slope or at risk of rolling. However, subtle differences may exist across Mercedes models—for instance, manual mode or vehicle startup might require pressing the handbrake button separately. In daily driving, you can confidently rely on Mercedes' automated systems. Their precision engineering minimizes human error risks, extends brake component lifespan, and makes parking safer and more convenient.

What are the consequences of not releasing a vehicle from mortgage?

The consequences of not releasing a vehicle from mortgage are as follows: Cannot be traded: A vehicle cannot be bought or sold, nor can the relevant transfer procedures be completed without releasing the mortgage. Even transferring the vehicle to a family member's name cannot be accomplished. Ownership belongs to the financial company: If a user has a loan with a financial company and the vehicle is not released from mortgage in time, the ownership of the vehicle remains with the financial company, which may lead to the vehicle being mortgaged again. Beneficiary is the lending institution: For a vehicle not released from mortgage, the beneficiary of the car insurance remains the lending institution, which may affect the claims settlement in the event of a car insurance accident.
