Do we have auto-hold in our C63s?

I have a 2018 C63S coupe, and I am not sure if we have the auto-hold feature (when triggered, you can leave the car in Drive and foot-off brakes, the car would brake for you before you hit gas again).

Anyone have any idea?

I know on my 2019 C63S I can come to a stop and then press harder for a second and the brakes hold. I am then free to take my foot off the brake and the car will stay in place. Once the light changes, you just hit the gas and off you go.

Try it. Come to complete stop, the stab the brake pedal with your foot. The HOLD function is triggered by brake fluid pressure rise time. Slowly depressing the pedal to the floor will not activate HOLD.

Also read the owner's manual.

My 2016 C63S sedan has it, I thought it was standard on these cars?

So far has worked in every MB/AMG I've driven. It's all in the owners manual, but as explained above, once you come to a full stop push in the brake pedal some more with a bit of a stab and it will activate. The word HOLD will light up in the instrument cluster. Do it again and it will release or just step on the throttle.

Standard feature on all Mercedes. Even a base CLA250 has it. I find the most reliable way to activate it is wait until your car brakes to a complete stop, then give a little extra pump and it will engage.
