Do you use the electronic parking brake
The salesman that sold methe E400 was new to MB and knew next to nothing about the car. I have been dropping in on the tech guy in sales. Yesterday he told me I needed to turn the electronic parking brake on, I did not know it was there, before turning off the car. Is that a standard practice?

What I should have said was did you ask him why, or just take his word for it?
I Don't just accept everything I hear without questioning.
Sorry, but this company (MB) has some of the worst salespeople I’ve ever encountered in my life.
I don’t want a pushy, lying, car salesman, but at least keep me updated and work with me if I am interested.
Ive had two test drives so far and it’s like pulling teeth to get updates from these lazy imbeciles.
I hope the build quality provides a better experience.
The expectations, however, are low.

Most dealers should have a Technology Associate available for complimentary consultation/demonstration connected to the service department. I spent a full day with the one at my dealership learning how every feature of the car worked. They really know their stuff.

P.S. I actually have gotten so used to this feature that I have to concentrate to remember to move the shift lever into P, and apply the parking brake, on other cars/trucks I occasionally drive that don't have this feature.

Do I use the electronic parking brake? I don't really have a choice -- the car automatically engages it. FORTUNATELY, it also automatically disengages it. So, when I turn off the car the brake auto-engages. When I start the car and put it into reverse, the brake is still on. One light tap of the gas pedal and the brake automatically disengages. Completely seamless.
