Flat Key
The flat key fits all vehicle
locks. We recommend that
you carry the flat key with
you and keep it in a safe
place so that it is always
handy, if needed (e.g. in
your wallet). Never leave
the flat key in the vehicle.
Master Key - square headed - fits
all locks on the car.
Supplementary Key - rounded 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 com partm ent and trunk
with the master key.
Obtaining Replacement Keys
Replacement keys can be obtained
only via MERCEDES-BENZ service
stations. If the keys are lost,
assistance is rather tim e con­
suming and expensive.
