Question on the correct application of the Hand ( Foot ) brake in the w212.... As I understand it, to apply the hand/foot brake, just push it down firmly. To release,push it again, while pulling the release handle. Am I right in this? or is it only necessary to push the pedal when applying the Brake ? and just pull the release handle when you want to move off from parked position?I don't like relying on Park only unless it's very flat ground - I have a mental picture of holding the car with a finger in the auto drive plate!
Thanks for any advice, and Best Regards,
