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 dealer.
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,
the system is not operational. Contact
an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer or
call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes.
