parthiban 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.

LS400 is push pedal on, pull lever off :thumbup1:

How weird is it they did that for a while and then changed it? Maybe it was confusing americans, as american cars generally have the push on push off system :laugh:

On the auto Mercs I think the parking brake works ok, I test drove a manual C220CDI- its a bit tricky trying to do a hill start in that as there is no hand brake lever (even though there is a system called hill assist?) on the manual mercs.

And besides if you have a Merc its got to be an auto Smile

Technically it should be the same, find bite and then pull release lever but I've heard it's a bit of a faff.

True, buying a manual merc is a good way of losing an extra 10% at least in value :biggrin:
