It confused me the LS lol. First time I drove it around was with the handbrake still on!

Pull that to release the parking brake.

How do you activate the parking brake? Do you push it in, pull it out, or does it automatically activate?

See that little pedal by the foot brake? push that to put the parking brake on.

Ah ok, bit weird, why couldnt they use the same pedal to release it. I like the car, very nice.

Thats how the Prius one works - would have thought you would know that!!!

I do, the Prius brake you push the pedal to activate, and push the pedal again to release it.
The C-Class you push the pedal to activate and pull the handle to release it.

Lol yeah pretty much every car with a foot brake is push pedal on, push pedal off.
Mercs are the only cars I've come across with push pedal on, pull lever off. I actually prefer this as I've always found the push pedal off quite a clumsy manouvre for a luxury car.
Obviously the days of all these pedals are numbered with electronic parking brakes becoming more common.
