If you are replacing your rear brake pads then you will need to use this function in order to release the electronic handbrake mechanism so that you can access the brake pads and then if required removed the disc
The GLC shares its under pinnings with the C which shares virtually all of its floorplan with the E, so i suspect it will. Even if the sizes were different then the methods of changing would be the same.
Hey if I am trying this and the car tells me fitting position not met what should I do?. I took the caliper pistion off and changed the breaks like you would on a normal car not knowing of this process. Now i cant get the piston to retract in.
No. You use this to release the “handbrake” (it clamps the pads on to the disc) and then you proceed as normal to repair the pads/discs like another car. There is a video on how to do the rear brakes on my channel aswell 👍
@@mercedes_and_more thank you. I’ve seen some videos on RU-vid, that said that you always need to set a gear in N, because you can’t get out of break pad replacement mode if you don’t do it. But you have already done it, that’s why I asked you. Thank you for helping
So i said i would Check. Car in park and handbrake on it said conditions not met. So pressed the key again to get all lights on and then released the handbrake. Pressed key start again to go back to ignition and went into fitting mode when asked (car in park). Clearly doing this in N would not be good as the car is free to roll if not on level ground👍
Correct. This frees the pads for the discs, although you still need to wind them back in (as per the video). In reality, this is releasing the electronic handbrake in a way that will not allow it to be reapplied during the brake pad change 👍
