Where is the handbrake of the Mercedes-Benz e300?

The handbrake of the Mercedes-Benz e300 is located on the left side of the brake pedal, where there is a small brake pedal—this is the handbrake. The handbrake generally refers to the parking brake, whose function is to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. Parking brakes come in different types, such as mechanical mechanisms operated by hand or foot, and electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes. The Mercedes-Benz e300 is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the Mercedes-Benz brand, with a body length, width, and height of 4947 mm, 1860 mm, and 1470 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2939 mm. The Mercedes-Benz e300 uses three engines in total: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
When driving the Mercedes-Benz E300, I particularly love its electronic parking brake design. That small P button is located on the left side of the center console, just below the steering wheel on the driver's side. You just need to gently press it with your fingertip to engage the brake, and press it again to release - it's extremely convenient. Compared to traditional handbrake levers, it not only saves space but also looks particularly elegant. Moreover, this car is quite intelligent - it automatically engages when you park and turn off the engine, and releases automatically when you press the accelerator to start, completely eliminating the old problem of forgetting to release the handbrake and damaging the brake discs. However, do note that the button position might feel slightly off in rainy weather, and first-time drivers might need to feel around a couple of times to locate it precisely. This positioning truly reflects German thinking about driving experience.
