Noise from Brake or Xenon lamp???
I have just collected my E350 yesterday. I heard some noise when using the "SBC HOLD". Even when i was driving down to the hill, i head noise from the brake. Is it normal or problem? Or will the noise come from the Xenon lamp when changing the angle???
Thank you!
Thank you!

Well, is it a squeal? I doubt the Xenon lamp can produce a louder pitched noise than the brakes. If it is the brakes, I guess they're normal because even I experience brake squeals braking at low speeds.

I've read about this on the post before...I would assume your car, being relatively new has this feature. It's quite possible it's a brake hold feature so when your vehicle is sitting on an incline, its weight will be sitting on the brakes, versus the transmission.
