Changing the batteries
Notes
If the batteries in the key are discharged,
you will only be able to lock or unlock the
vehicle using the emergency key element
(
e page 279).
It is then advisable to have the batteries
replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.

Risk of poisoning
Batteries contain toxic and caustic substan-
ces. For this reason, keep batteries away
from children.
If a battery is swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
H
Environmental note
Do not dispose of batteries with the house-
hold rubbish. They contain highly toxic sub-
stances.
Take discharged batteries to a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, or to a special collection
point for old batteries.

Always replace the batteries in pairs.
You can obtain suitable batteries from a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
