Remember, this is the worlds' first production "brake by wire" system, and it requires special attention. Gilly is right on the money. Don't attempt any repair/maintenance on this system unless it is first de-activated!!! This system will, at times perform a "Pre-Drive Check". In other words, it will momentarily pressurize the system to check for leaks. If this were to occur during service ( replacing brake pads ) it could result in injury/damage, etc. As far as vapors2k question? It sounds like the parking brake isn't fully released.

ah, the parking brake is fully released otherwise there would be a warning lamp to indicated it is on. The front pads are worn and my guess is this car only has sensors for the front? That's why I was assuming that the rear pads should not need changing unless MB set brake biasing on this car different than the rest. The car makes all these mechanical sounds when the door opens and such, thought it was the air suspension but then it could be the brake system too? Very good info!
