Does Mercedes C-class have a parking brake?

Currently in Malaysia, the Mercedes - AMG C 63 S E Performance (chassis code W206) is the most powerful C - class model. It is equipped with a 2.0L four - cylinder turbo engine and a high - performance PHEV system, with a combined output of up to 680PS and a torque of 1,020Nm, it can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. This C63 S inherits AMG's racing genes and is newly added with a rear - axle electric drive, a 4MATIC+ all - wheel - drive system, and an AMG dynamic handling configuration, which significantly improves the handling. At the same time, it has an all - electric range of about 13 kilometers (WLTP standard), meeting the needs of short - distance emission reduction. Compared with the previous V8 C63 S (510PS) of the W205 generation, although the new model has sparked controversy by switching to a four - cylinder engine, it comprehensively surpasses the previous one in terms of power data and acceleration performance and is more in line with the electrification trend. In terms of price, the C63 S E Performance is expected to be priced over RM900,000 in Malaysia (subject to configuration and taxes), belonging to the top - tier performance sedan category. If your budget is a bit lower but you still pursue high performance, you can consider the C43 AMG (408PS).

The engine start-stop function of Mercedes-Benz C-Class is typically enabled by default. To verify its status or reactivate it, find the button marked with an "A" inside a circular symbol in the cabin - usually located above the left side of the gear lever - and press it to toggle the feature. For touchscreen operation, navigate to the vehicle settings, select either energy management or eco mode, and ensure the start-stop function is checked. Some variants additionally allow control through the Mercedes me app (requiring phone connection to the car's hotspot before accessing the "Settings" menu), through the instrument cluster display (specific procedures vary by model - consult the owner's manual), or through the central console's driving computer (press the "Menu/Back" or globe-shaped button on the steering wheel to enter settings, then locate the "Engine" or "Engine Start/Stop" option). The system automatically shuts off the engine when stationary at traffic lights or in congestion after a few seconds of brake application, restarting upon releasing the brake to accelerate or gently turning the steering wheel, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

The Mercedes C-Class uses a timing chain. The main timing drive methods for engines include timing belts, timing chains, timing gears, etc. Nowadays, most civilian gasoline vehicles use timing belts or chains. Among them, the timing chain is widely used because it requires no maintenance. The Mercedes C-Class models are equipped with timing chains. Compared with the timing belt, although it generates more noise, it has lower long-term usage costs as it doesn't need to be replaced regularly like a timing belt. Generally, you only need to check and adjust its tension every 100,000 kilometers or so. However, even though the timing chain is claimed to be maintenance-free, regular vehicle maintenance and inspections of relevant components are still necessary to ensure the normal operation of the engine.

The Mercedes C-Class models are generally equipped with Harman Kardon or Burmester audio systems. Harman Kardon was founded in 1953 and is a division of Harman International Industries that specializes in producing home and car audio. Brands like BMW and Land Rover also frequently use its audio systems. It also owns several well - known brands such as JBL and AKG. The Burmester audio system was founded in Germany in 1978. As a high - end brand, it is renowned for its excellent sound quality and a pursuit of audiophile - level sound, and is a favorite among audio enthusiasts. Both of these brands can provide high - quality auditory enjoyment for passengers inside the car. For example, the 2018 Mercedes - Benz AMG C - Class Coupe is equipped with 21 speakers of Burmester and the Sound Plus function.

The Mercedes C Class is equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). It has reached the Level 2 driver assistance level and adopts five exterior cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, and one millimeter - wave radar. When driving on the highway, the car - following and full - speed adaptive cruise control functions are stable, which can automatically adjust the vehicle speed according to the speed of the vehicle in front, maintain a safe following distance, and relieve the driver's fatigue during long - distance driving. In addition, the Mercedes C Class also comes with systems such as active braking/active safety systems, forward collision warning, electronic stability control, and automatic parking. For example, the active braking system can automatically apply the brakes when necessary to reduce the risk of collision; the automatic parking system can help the driver easily complete the parking maneuver. However, when facing complex road conditions such as on - ramps and road construction, the system's response ability is limited. The driver still needs to stay focused and be ready to take over the vehicle manually at any time.

The Mercedes C-Class is equipped with multi-link independent suspensions both at the front and rear. The front and rear multi-link independent suspensions have numerous advantages in many aspects. They can effectively filter out road vibrations and bumps, providing a smoother driving and riding experience whether you're cruising on rough city streets or uneven rural roads. Additionally, this suspension setup enhances the vehicle's handling characteristics, allowing for better control during turns and maneuvers. The use of this suspension in the C-Class means that passengers can enjoy a more comfortable journey, while drivers can experience superior driving dynamics. For car enthusiasts, this suspension system is also a hallmark of the vehicle's precision engineering, which helps to improve the overall performance and reputation of the Mercedes C-Class.

The Mercedes C-Class doesn't provide spare tire. Instead, it's typically equipped with run - flat tires. These tires are designed to keep going even when they lose air pressure. With run - flat tires, the vehicle can still keep moving for a certain distance after the loss of tire pressure, without the need to install a spare tire right away, which provides a certain level of convenience and peace of mind for drivers, as they don't have to worry about changing a tire by the roadside immediately. To some extent, this also helps to reduce the vehicle's weight, which may potentially improve fuel efficiency. These run - flat tires usually have special markings like RSC to indicate their technical features.

For some models without an SOS button, there will be a dedicated button for opening the sunroof in the car, which usually has a pattern similar to a sunroof , press it and then the sunroof will be automatically opened. Besides this opening method, in some models, there is a switch in the center of the roof to control the opening and closing of the sunroof. You can operate it by toggling this switch. After the vehicle is turned off, you can also point the key at the driver - side door and long - press the lock button to close all windows, including the sunroof. Alternatively, you can get close to the driver - side door and long - press the sensor on the outside of the door handle to close them. Knowing these ways to open and close the sunroof allows passengers and drivers to enjoy the comfort brought by the sunroof more freely, such as rapid temperature reduction, fog removal, and improved air circulation.
