Note:

We recommend that you carry the electronic reserve key plus mechanical key with you and keep it in a safe place (e.g. your wallet) so that it is always handy. Never leave the electronic reserve key in the vehicle.

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.

Start lock-out

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-FORMERCedes (in the USA) or 1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).

General notes on the central locking system

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 door handle. Check the batteries of the electronic main key, see page 264 , or synchronize the remote control, see page 266.

• Use the mechanical key to unlock the driver’s door. To start the engine, insert the electronic main key in the steering lock. There could be a slight delay until the electronic main key can be turned in the steering lock.

Instruments and controls

Central locking system

Radio frequency and infrared remote control

Locking and unlocking with remote control

Unlocking:

Press transmit button Œ. All turn signal lamps blink once to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked.

The remote control can be programmed for two kinds of unlocking modes (see below):

Selective unlocking mode – Press transmit button Œ once to unlock driver’s door and fuel filler flap. Press transmit button Œ twice to unlock both doors, fuel filler flap, and trunk.

Global unlocking mode – Press transmit button Œ once to unlock both doors, fuel filler flap, and trunk.

Notes:

If the trunk was previously locked separately, it will remain locked, see page 38.

The presently active unlocking mode (selective or global) can only be determined by unlocking the vehicle with the remote control (see below for changing mode).

If within 40 seconds of unlocking with the remote control, neither door nor trunk is opened, the electronic key is not inserted in the steering lock, or the central locking switch is not activated, the vehicle will automatically lock.

Locking:

Press transmit button ‹ once. All turn signal lamps blink three times to indicate that the vehicle is locked.

If they do not blink three times, a door or trunk is not properly closed.

Note:

If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked by pressing the transmit button, then it may be necessary to change the batteries in the electronic main key (if ok, battery check lamp in electronic main key will light briefly when pressing transmit button) or to synchronize the remote control, see pages 264 and 266.

Choosing global or selective mode on remote control

Press and hold transmit buttons ‹ and Œ simultaneously for approx. 6 seconds to reprogram the remote control. Battery check lamp will blink two times indicating the completed mode change.

Opening the trunk

The trunk lid will swing open automatically. You should always make sure there is sufficient clearance.

A minimum height clearance of 5.9 ft. (1.8 m) is required to open the trunk lid.

Press transmit button Š until trunk lid is open.

Important!

Do not place remote control in trunk since trunk is locked when the lid is closed if the vehicle is centrally locked.

Note:

If the trunk was previously locked separately, it will remain locked, see page 38.

Opening and closing windows and sliding/pop-up roof from outside

Aim transmitter eye of remote control at a door receiver.

To o pen:

Continue to press transmit button Œ after unlocking the vehicle.

The windows and sliding/pop-up roof begin to open after approx. 1 second.
