Keys
Your vehicle is equipped with a special key
system. The engine can only be started using
the key coded to the vehicle.
If a vehicle key is lost, obtaining a replace-
ment is a time-consuming process. This can
only be done through a Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you always
keep an easily accessible spare key with you
for emergencies.

WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the key,
the key could be unintentionally turned in the
ignition lock. This could cause the engine to
be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
key. Remove any bulky keyrings before insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock.
