Tip - Brake hold W207

Maybe I just missed it in the manual or maybe its an add on. I have never seen it mentioned on tips or feature pages.

When stopped in traffic or on a hill push hard on the brake and it puts the car in to HOLD so you do not need to apply the hand(foot)brake.

Just thought I would mention it.

Been a few threads on it, standard on Mercs and in the manual. Very useful though and something people should know about.

You don't need to push hard, just past a certain point once stationary.

I discovered that feature by accident, too. Note that the word HOLD appears on the dash once you press the brake hard at a stop. Interestingly there's no noticeable hesitation or jerk when you again step on the gas. Nice feature!

you are right it disengages really well even in hard takeoff.

Brake Hold

Hey. Thanks for the 'HOLD' tip.
I use it all the time now.
Question for everyone: We have a 2013 e350 cab (A207). Has anyone replaced the backup camera with something with higher resolution?
Also, does software exist to allow selection of the rear camera while driving.
Thanks,
John
