Car Keys

Included with your vehicle are two
master keys, one valet key and one
flat (master) key.
Master Key - square head with a red
dot - fits all locks on the car. Arms/
disarms the anti-theft alarm system.
Valet Key - round head - fits only the
door locks and the steering lock. This
key is intended to be used whenever
the car is left with an attendant. Be
sure to lock glove compartment and
trunk with the master key. The valet
key cannot be used to de-activate the
anti-theft alarm after the car is locked
with the master key.
Flat Key
The flat key with a red dot
fits all vehicle locks.

theft alarm system. We
recommend that you carry
the flat key with you and
keep it in a safe place so
that it is always handy (e.g.
in your wallet). Never leave
the flat key in the vehicle.
Obtaining Replacement Keys
Your car has a theft deterrent locking
system. For security reasons, replace­
ment keys can only be obtained via
an authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer. Therefore, obtaining replace­
ment keys requires considerable time.
