2006 Mercedes-Benz C280 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your C280 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your C280 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
