Got bored sitting in traffic this morning. Discovered on my e63 that if you pump the brake pedal it'll engage some kind of hold mode and will hold the brakes in traffic.

True enough. My 2007 Lexus LS460 had the same feature. If you just push hard enough it will engage, no pumping required.

my w204 does this its hill assist but you can use it anywhere. when u hit the break just push down a little more and it should engage, Hit the gas when you want to go it amazing. I think i use this on every red light hahaha.

If you pump and press - it'll show HOLD. Then, if you hit the accelerator, it'll release on it's own. If you press the brake again, it'll turn HOLD off.

Just an FYI, when in Hold mode, the brake lights do stay on.

i think my old Prius had this as well...

This feature had been present in all E classes and is listed in the user manual as well. It is seamless and I find this system more intuitive than "BMW hold feature" where you have to push a button on the steering wheel.

I use this feature almost every time I stop in my 2013 W204.

Nice find! This is my second E Class and I never knew you could do this. I tried it last night and loved it for those long traffic lights.

I wonder if this will work for race start.

Probably not. Touching the gas will probably turn off the hold, as designed.

The other day I was sitting in traffic and discovered a book in the glove compartment that explained the features of the car.
