Achtung!! Driving on Slick Streets w/ Drive-By-Wire!

Guys, I noticed today that the drive-by-wire braking system keeps the ABS from creating a pulsation of the brake pedal and clicking sound. I didn't realize it until this morning, but I've become conditioned to rely on those two subtle cues to slow down and drive more conservatively. If you’re driving your Benz in winter weather for the first time, watch out for the blinking of the triangle on the cluster to indicate you need to increase stopping distances.

My brake pedal pulsates a bit
