Airmatic Shuttering?
Just bought a 2005 E500 with the airmatic feature. When I start the car and put the trans in reverse, I can feel some sort of shuttering in the brake pedal, does anyone know if its just the airmatic adjusting? It does it sometimes when I have my foot on the brake at a stoplight as well.

The SBC is a busy little rascal, frequently recharging or doing something that feels like a vibration through the brake pedal, as well as emitting buzzing-type noises. I wouldn't call the vibration a shuddering, but we're probably talking about the same thing - and so something normal.

Thanks.
The SBC STOP feature seems like it would have been useful for me in all the traffic I drive in. Too bad it was deleted in MY05.

This calls for another of my good news, bad news themes.
The good news is SBC Stop was NOT deleted in MY05.
The bad news is that it has never been included on US imported 211's.
Sorry for my sense of humour, but I have just got up,
Morning everyone,
