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 should 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. Arms/
disarms the anti-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. Never leave
the flat 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 via an
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
Therefore, obtaining replacement keys
requires considerable time.
