    Am travelling at a fast pace going to towards the exit... not really a parking lot manuever. Hehe. Really caught me off guard!!!

    MB's Brake Assist works differently. It will try to "learn" the braking habits of a driver. Then assess whether or not you are braking normally or if it is an emergency case. If it detects that it is the latter, it will electronically "assist" you in applying full braking power (since most of us don't have enough reflxes to apply full braking power).

    Will though experiment which braking technique would be better (either clutch w/ brake or brake first, clutch later) for a manual tranny.

Cruising in Neutral: Bad?
