Where is the handbrake on a Mercedes-Benz with a column shifter?

[HarperMarie]

In Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with a column shifter, the electronic parking brake is located on the center console between the driver and front passenger seats. Many cars are equipped with electronic parking brakes, which are particularly convenient to use. The structure of an electronic parking brake differs from that of a mechanical handbrake. Electronic parking brakes do not have a handbrake lever or cables. Instead, cars with electronic parking brakes feature an electronic parking brake button on the center console and two parking brake motors on the rear wheels. Below are the usage methods for electronic parking brakes: 1. The operation of electronic parking brakes is generally similar, all activated and deactivated via a single button. The electronic parking brake can be engaged under any vehicle condition. Even if accidentally pressed while driving, the electronic parking brake function will immediately disengage as long as the accelerator is still in operation. 2. If pressed during emergency braking, most electronic parking brake systems will provide additional braking force to assist, with some models featuring electronic brake-force distribution and speed-limited stop functions.
