The optional equipment supplied with your
vehicle includes two KEYLESS GO keys. KEY-
LESS GO allows you to lock/unlock and start
the vehicle simply by carrying the KEYLESS
GO key with you. When you touch the surface
of the sensors on the vehicle's door handles,
KEYLESS GO establishes a radio connection
between the vehicle and the key.
When you touch the inner surface of the door
handle or press the button on the tailgate
handle (Estate), your vehicle unlocks cen-
trally if the factory settings have not been
changed:
R the doors
R the boot lid/tailgate
R the fuel filler flap
When starting the engine and whilst driving,
KEYLESS GO also checks whether a valid
KEYLESS GO key is in the vehicle by periodi-
cally establishing radio contact. G
Risk of accident
If children are left unsupervised in the vehi-
cle, they could open a door from the inside,
even if it has been locked. Or they could
start the vehicle if a valid KEYLESS GO key is in the vehicle and they press the KEY-
LESS GO button on the gear selector lever.
They could endanger themselves and oth-
ers. Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle. Switch off the engine and take
the KEYLESS GO key with you, even if you
are only leaving the vehicle for a short time. 1

for your vehicle. For further information, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The remote control has a maximum range of
approximately 300 metres. This range may be
reduced by:
R sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavoura-
ble position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
i The optimum range can be achieved if you
hold the remote control vertically, pointing
upwards when you press one of the but-
tons.
i A battery symbol appears in the display
when the batteries in the remote control
are low. Replace the remote control bat-
teries (Y page 311). Controls
