Your vehicle is equipped with a theft deterrent locking
system requiring a special key manufacturing process.

Note:
In case the engine cannot be started, and Á and
î are shown in the odometer display field, the
system is not operational. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in
the USA), or 1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).General notes on the central locking system

vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked with the remote
control.

Emergency unlocking in case of accident
The doors unlock automatically a short time after a
strong deceleration is detected, such as in a collision

key must still be in the steering lock.
