Going up a hill....

When I go up a hill and let go of my brakes, the CLK immediately falls backwards.
This does not happen with my ML.

Is there a setting or something to turn this feature on?

The 209 does NOT have Hill assist ...You will have to use your foot on the brake pedal

Set the transmission to comfort mode. In most circumstances it provides you with the equivalent of hill assist and you don't roll.

yes it does..

Put your car into "C" or "W" mode and you have hill assist for about 3 secs after you let off the brake.
