there should be a STOP feature too.

When activated the brakes will be gradually applied when the user is off the throttle.

No to that STOP feature as described
Something I like to get off the gas and have the car roll to a point naturally.
My friend Tesla does that self braking once off the gas and he kept stopping short and having to give the car gas ( electric) to move up in traffic.
I drove it a few time I dont like it..I like the rolling

Driving a 2011 E63. No such feature on mine. I will try it on my 2013 GLK later and see if it has it.

Well, unless I am not doing something correctly. Tried pushing down the brake pedal pretty darn hard and then even holding it. No "hold" indicator and the car started rolling when I released the brake. Am I supposed to do something other than pressing the brake extra hard? Perhaps I missed something.

OK, so make me feel like a loser! lol

I guess I could have checked the manual. Oops.

I will try the stabbing action you described. I did try various methods yesterday with no luck, but not exactly what you described.

Thanks Peter. I will report back later.
