SBC Hold = when this is active you can let you foot of the brake and the car will remain stationary in drive
SBC Stop = this is active ony when speeds are less than 5 mph such as stop and go traffic. you take your foot the gas and the brakes are gently applied automatically to stop the car.

yes it only came on 03 models. if you want to get the feaure the dealer has to flash the central gateway and SBC control module for a 03 car on a newer model.

Here you all go. This is a write up on the SBC features. I forgot about dry brakes. I think US spec cars had this feature disabled. My car is canadian spec that is why I have it
SBC STOP
The system offers several additional functions besides a new braking behavior, due to its electronic brain: In stop-and-go traffic the vehicle brakes automatically, when the foot is lifted off the accelerator pedal (“Traffic Jam Assist”). It can be engaged under 10 MPH, using the the cruise control lever and switches off automatically at higher speeds. It remains active under 40 MPH. When engaged the instrument cluster indicates “SBC S”. One can also activate it on downhill slopes via cruise control, so the car won’t speed over the set limit. It was deleted starting with MY 2005.
SBC SOFT STOP
is not yet released, though few people are aware of it since Mercedes advertises it already. It might be released lateron. In city traffic soft-stop supposedly allows soft, jerkless stopping. Not sure if it’s needed since SBC brakes can be modulated well, with good feel.
SBC HOLD
A “drive-away assistant” prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards or forward when starting on a hill or steep incline. A firm push onto the brake pedal, and the car remains stopped, even when taking the foot off the brake pedal, until the driver accelerates and the vehicle begins to roll. When set, the instrument cluster indicates SBC HOLD. I like using this function and miss it when switching back to other cars. As far as I know it was first introduced in the spring of 2003 in the 04 E-class Estate and lateron in the 2004 SLs.
DRY BRAKE
And finally there is the dry brake function. It is always activated when the windshield wipers run. The system then knows, that it rains and, with short brake pulses unnoticed by the driver, keeps the brake discs always dry and fully functional.
Cars with SBC
Mercedes SL roadster (R230)
Mercedes E-Class sedan (W211) and Estate (S211) until mid 2006
Mercedes E-Class 4matic sedan (W211) and 4matic Estate (S211) until mid 2006
Mercedes SLR (C199)
Maybach 57 and 62 (W240)
Mercedes CLS coupe (C219) until mid 2006

The only one I've noticed on my 06 is the hillside feature but that never requires a push of my brake pedal at all.. The tranny just has to be in C or S with foot off pedals. Downhill cruise control also brakes to prevent over-speeding. Otherwise, none of the others ever worked for me. I gave up on this pursuit earlier this year.

Does anyone know what to ask the dealer specifically to flash your car to have sbc hold, stop, etc...my dealer looked at me crooked when I asked.
I have a US spec 2006 E55. I would love these features. All I have is the cruise control limit when going downhill and hill assist in comfort mode.

I know it's an old thread but from searches it seems to be the most comprehensive.

Recode the Central Gateway to ROW (Rest of the world) it also deactivates the side marker lights. Pretty much a necessary recode when you do the E63 bumper conversion
