Brakes questions?
Ok on my dad’s e class it has a hold function. Could that be retrofitted? And when I use cruise control and slow down with it it feels like its braking I do not think it’s down shifting. And for the 08 w204 does it use the brakes to dry off the brake disk? So what I am guessing is can the car apply brake force on its own? so maybe it can be programmed to have a hold function.

i honestly dont know...but that would be pretty cool if it could be retrofitted

When you press hard on the brakes at a stoplight or long stop it will hold the brake so you can let your foot off and when you press on the gas it lets go.

It is called HOLD function, hill assist is another function. My car has it.

Yes my mother's 2010 E350 has the HOLD function, but my 2011 C300 does not.

Hill start assist
[QUOTE=W204Man;5448735]No I used it in an e class it will hold the brakes indefinitely until you press on the gas. /QUOTE]
In the W204, on an upslope only, the brakes are held about two seconds, just long enough to move your foot to the gas pedal so as to prevent a rollback. This was widely discussed about five years ago since the owners were so confused about how it works. Yes, the E-Class and above do not release the brakes until the gas pedal moves. |
My '13 C250 Coupe has the hold function. Press hard on the brake after stopping, a small indicator "hold" appears and you can take your foot off the brake. Something that I never knew I wanted but that I use all the time now.

I was told by the sales guy when test driving a 2013 that all C classes had that function now. |
