Which button is the auto hold for the Mercedes-Benz C260L?

The auto hold switch for the Mercedes-Benz C260L is located in the button area around the gear lever and is a mechanical button. To turn it off, simply press the corresponding button. Auto Hold: The foreign name is AUTOHOLD, which refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. Principle: The AUTOHOLD auto hold function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.
Speaking of the auto-hold button on the Mercedes-Benz C260L, I find its design quite thoughtful. The button is labeled "HOLD" and is typically located on the right side of the gear lever, possibly near the driver's leg area on the center console. When you come to a stop and press the brake, a gentle press of this button will illuminate a small light on the dashboard, indicating that the car is secured, eliminating the need to keep the brake pedal depressed. This feature is particularly useful in city traffic or at red lights, as it allows your foot to relax. However, it's important to note that on steep slopes, you should ensure the ground isn't too slippery, as the system relies on sensors to monitor wheel movement. Mercedes-Benz has positioned this button conveniently to avoid accidental presses. Always refer to the manual or test the button's feel before use—safety first. Familiarizing yourself with this function can significantly improve daily driving efficiency and reduce fatigue.
