SBC Hold function

Dear All,

I have E500, 10. 2004 - may this be that the car has not SBC Hold option? As I understand to activate Hold function I need to fully press brakes. I tried several times, but in vain - no malfunctions are on the dashboard. Mybe the car is not equipped with this function??

Thank you

Oleg

I am from Russia, but have US version. Do you know whether this function can be activated on US cars?

I don't know but since these cars aren't that heavily SCN coded, flashing the Euro SW to appropriate control units and version coding would likely do it.

I can tell you my 2005 US spec has this function.

I can also tell you I never noticed it until I had brake pads replaced. I think the dealership must have fixed whatever was causing it not to work before.
