ML 350 2014
auto electronic park brake

So i have seen this forum before and want some help, I have ML 350 MY 2014 and i heard that the parking brake automatically disengages when you put D and press the gas which mine doesnt.

Some guy also said there is a way to activate such thing and also make the parking brake automatically engaing when turning off the car which also my car doesnt.


In a nutshell, my car doesnt automatically engage the parking brake once i turn off the car ( i have to do it manually)


and when i want to drive i have to disengage it manually

should my car be doing this features or is there a way to activate it

If you apply the park brake manually I think from memory you have to disengage it manually. I could be wrong. It might actually make you do that if your door is open and in D thinking about it. I only ever use my park brake if I’m on a hill , other than that I never use it. But it does automatically release when you hit the gas. The GLC applies it automatically when you hit park.

My 2013 requires manual engagement, but automatically releases with doors closed, put in R and touch gas. I dont recall if D will release.

It also depends on where the door is when you put the car into R or D. If the door is open (or you have a bad switch) you have to release it manually.
