SBC Stop ... anyone tried this??
Has anyway tried this? I found this described under the 'Driving Systems' part of the manual - but can't seem to be able to activate it.
See this link - page 226 onwards.
Apparently if you activate the cruise system at stationery, SBC Stop starts up. It's intended for use in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and applies brakes automatically once your foot is off the accelerator until the car comes to a full stop - it then holds the car in a braked mode until you step on the accelerator again. It's meant to turn itself off once you go past a certain speed.
Perhaps it hasn't gone past local regulator's approval??
What about SBC Hold?? I can't activate this one either! [This systems is not marked as an asterisk to show that it is optional equipment]. It is meant to hold the brakes on an incline to stop the car from slipping backwards.
Cheers

I don't that that is it! Mine does that too, but it doesn't come to a complete stop ... and hold the stop! It does slow down, I admit, when you lift your foot off the gas.
You're meant to get "SBC S" on the dash-display as well when activated ... I don't get that!

Although there's no reason why that feature can't be just 'turned on' for the sedans - it's only a matter of turning the electronics on, right?
bmms8 - thanks for trying! I've been doing that too but without success!

i tested the "SBC Hold" on friday in the new E-class estate.
- push brake normal to stop the car
- then push short the brake pedal to activate "hold" an SBC hold icon appears in your multi-display
- now you can take of your feet from the pedals, the car will stay in that position. hill up or down, doesn´t matter.
- simply accelerate to deactivate SBC hold.
really a nice new feature, i used it on nearly every traffic-light.
here are our first 8 T-modell´s:
and, nice to see that the DVD-command is ready now! it works great!
