How to Use the Handbrake on a Mercedes-Benz E300?

[Wendy]

For E300 models before 2015, the parking brake pedal is located near the A-pillar on the left foot side; simply press it down to engage. The newer Mercedes-Benz E300 offers two methods to activate the handbrake: one is via the handbrake switch located below the light switch on the left side of the dashboard—pulling it up engages the parking brake. The other method is automatic control; when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and the brake pedal is pressed while shifting into P gear, the parking brake will engage automatically. Additional information is as follows: 1. Exterior: The front face design is identical to the imported version, with split high and low beam lights featuring sharp lines, creating a youthful and dynamic overall effect. The LED light group below the front of the car further emphasizes its fashionable appeal. 2. Maintenance: The warranty period for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is 2 years with unlimited mileage. The first maintenance is due at 10,000 kilometers and is at the owner's expense. Subsequent maintenance intervals are every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, whichever comes first. In terms of maintenance, Mercedes also showcases the characteristics of a luxury car, with costs slightly higher than other brands in the same class. The simplest minor maintenance costs approximately 1,700, significantly higher than comparable models, which might be another major drawback affecting its sales.
