How to Release the Foot Brake on a Mercedes-Benz?
2 Answers
To release the foot brake on a Mercedes-Benz after pressing it down, you need to use the handbrake switch located on the left side of the steering wheel. The parking brake is a foot brake, and its operation method is as follows: press the pedal all the way down with your left foot to engage it; press it firmly again with your left foot and then release to disengage the handbrake. Below is some related information: 1. Mercedes-Benz is a German automobile brand and one of the premium car brands, renowned for its perfect technical level, rigorous quality standards, innovative capabilities, and a series of classic coupe styles. 2. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the top luxury model in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, winning the favor of many successful individuals with its elegant and stable exterior design and luxurious features. The new S-Class is only a mid-cycle facelift model, with minor modifications to its appearance.
Oh, releasing the handbrake on a Mercedes is actually quite simple. I've driven quite a few Mercedes cars, and the process feels like this: after stepping on the foot-operated parking brake pedal to engage the parking brake, to release it, you sit in the driver's seat, fasten your seatbelt, start the car, then press the brake pedal while gently tapping the foot-operated parking brake pedal—it will pop up and release the parking brake on its own. If it doesn't fully release, you can try pressing the foot-operated parking brake pedal deeper and then releasing it, or look for a small lever under the steering wheel and pull it. Mercedes designed this system with safety in mind, so when parking on a slope or when the auto start-stop function is active, this operation prevents the car from rolling. Remember, if the foot-operated parking brake gets stuck, don't force it—check the braking system or take it to a dealership for maintenance. It's not a complicated job, but it shouldn't be taken lightly.
