Vehicle keys

Included with your vehicle are 2 electronic keys with integrated radio frequency and infrared remote controls plus removable mechanical key.

The locking tabs for the mechanical key portion of the two electronic keys are a different color to help distinguish it.

Warning!

When leaving the vehicle always remove the electronic key from the steering lock, and lock your vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause serious personal injury.

P80.35-2031-26

The electronic key has an integrated radio frequency and infrared remote control, plus removable mechanical key.

The remote control (1) operates all locks on the vehicle.

The mechanical key (2) works only in the driver’s door, trunk, and storage compartment locks.

When using the mechanical key (2) for lock operations, it can be removed by sliding it out of the remote control. To do so, move locking tab (3) to the right and slide the mechanical key (2) in direction of arrow (4).

The remote control transmitter is located in the electronic key.

The infrared receivers are located in the front door handles.

Note:

Remove the mechanical key from the electronic key when using valet parking service. To prevent access to trunk or storage compartments lock them separately and retain the mechanical key.

See page 37 for separate locking of trunk and page 163 for locking of glove box.

Obtaining replacement keys

Your vehicle is equipped with a theft deterrent locking system requiring a special key manufacturing process. For security reasons, replacement keys can only be obtained from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

General notes on the central locking system

 

Important!

Removing the electronic key from the steering lock activates the start lock-out. The engine cannot be started.

Inserting the electronic key in the steering lock deactivates the start lock-out.

Note:

In case the engine cannot be started (vehicle’s battery is in order), the system is not operational. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call 1-800-FOR- MERCedes (in the USA), or 1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).

If the electronic key is inserted in the steering lock, the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked with the remote control.

If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked:

Aim transmitter eye at a receiver of either front door handle. Check the batteries of the electronic key, see page 294 or to synchronize the remote control, see page 296.

Use the mechanical key to unlock the vehicle. To start engine, insert the electronic key in the steering lock. There could be a slight delay until the electronic key can be turned in the steering lock.

Important!

When unlocking the driver’s door with the mechanical key, the exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will sound.

To cancel the alarm, insert the electronic key in the steering lock or press button Œor ‹on the electronic key.

Central locking system

Radio frequency and infrared remote control

The electronic key has an integrated radio frequency and infrared remote control.

Due to the extended operational range of the remote control, it could be possible to unintentionally lock or unlock the vehicle by pressing the transmit button. If one of the transmit buttons is pressed, the battery check lamp lights up briefly – indicating that the batteries are in order. See page 294 for checking batteries.

The vehicle doors, trunk and fuel filler flap can be centrally locked and unlocked via remote control.

Opening and closing the windows and sliding/pop-up roof remotely can only be done with the infrared portion of the remote control. Aim transmitter eye at a receiver (6 or 7), press and hold transmit button Œ or ‹.

With vehicle centrally locked, the trunk can also be opened by using the remote control.

If the electronic key is inserted in steering lock, the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked, and the trunk lid cannot be opened with the remote control.
