Vehicle key

The vehicle is equipped with a special key system. The engine can only be started using the vehicle key coded to the vehicle.

If a vehicle key is lost, obtaining a replacement is a time-consuming process which is only possible through a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you always keep an easily accessible spare key with you for emergencies.
