Where is the parking brake release on the Mercedes-Benz E260?
1 Answers
The parking brake release button on the Mercedes-Benz E260 is located on the right side of the steering column, marked with a 'P' symbol. Introduction to parking brake: This refers to the manually operated brake installed in vehicles, commonly known as the handbrake. It is used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a complete stop, preventing accidents on inclined road surfaces. Most conventional handbrakes are positioned at the lower right side of the driver's seat for easy access. Causes of parking brake failure: Parking brake failure mainly occurs due to excessive clearance between the friction pads and brake drum, or when oil contamination causes severe wear of the friction pads, leading to surface slippage. If the control lever cannot be fixed in the braking position, you can test by moving the handle up and down to check whether the control lever is bent.
