2. This device must be able to
accommodate interference that is
received, including interference which
could cause unwanted functions.
Unapproved modifications to this device
may lead to withdrawal of permission to
operate it.
The product label with FCC ID and IC
certification number can be found in the
battery case of the SmartKey.
Important information for using
KEYLESS-GO
R You can use the KEYLESS-GO key as a
conventional key.
R You can combine KEYLESS-GO functions
with those of a conventional key, e.g. open
with KEYLESS-GO and close with the
& button.
R Always carry your KEYLESS-GO key on your
person.
R Never keep the KEYLESS-GO key with:
- electronic equipment, such as your
mobile phone or another key
- metal objects, such as coins or metal foil
This may impair the functioning of
KEYLESS-GO.
R To open or close the vehicle, the KEYLESS-
GO key should be no more than 3 ft (1 m)
from the door or trunk.
R If the vehicle is parked for more than
72 hours, the KEYLESS-GO function is
deactivated. Pull one of the outer door
handles and turn on the ignition to
reactivate the KEYLESS-GO function.
R When the KEYLESS-GO key is removed
from the vehicle, it is possible that the
system may not recognize it. In this case,
the vehicle cannot be locked or started with
KEYLESS-GO.
R If the KEYLESS-GO key has been removed
from the vehicle, e.g. if a passenger leaves
the vehicle with the KEYLESS-GO key:
- while someone is holding the Start/Stop
button or attempting to lock the vehicle
using the outer door handle, the Key
Not Detected message will appear in
the multifunction display.
- while the engine is running, the red Key
Not Detected message will appear in
the multifunction display as you pull
away. Find the KEYLESS-GO key and
change its position in the vehicle. Place
the KEYLESS-GO key in a location such
as the front-passenger seat, or carry it in
your shirt pocket.
R If you have started the engine using the
Start/Stop button, you can turn if off again
by:
- pressing the Start/Stop button again
- inserting the KEYLESS-GO key into the
ignition lock when the vehicle is
stationary and the automatic
transmission is in parking position P.
R You may accidentally unlock the vehicle if
the KEYLESS-GO key is within 3 ft (1 m) of
the vehicle and:
- a jet of water splashes an outer door
handle
or
- you are cleaning an outer door handle.
R Note that the engine can be started by any
vehicle occupant if a KEYLESS-GO key is in
the vehicle.
Option 1: there is a KEYLESS-GO key in the
vehicle and a KEYLESS-GO key outside the
vehicle. If you leave the KEYLESS-GO key
behind when you get out and lock the
vehicle, a message does not appear in the
multifunction display.
Option 2: there is a KEYLESS-GO key in the
vehicle but no KEYLESS-GO key outside the
vehicle. When you get out and try to lock
the vehicle, the Key Detected in
Vehicle message appears in the
multifunction display. The vehicle is not
locked in this case.
When starting the engine and while driving,
KEYLESS-GO also checks whether a valid key76SmartKeyOpening and closing

Fuses
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Only use fuses that have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and that have the
correct fuse rating for the systems
concerned. Do not attempt to repair or bridge
faulty fuses. Using fuses that have not been
approved or attempting to repair or bridge
faulty fuses could cause the fuse to be
overloaded and result in a fire. Have the cause
traced and rectified at a qualified specialist
workshop.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the
components on the circuit and their functions
stop operating.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognize by
the color and value. The fuse ratings are listed
in the fuse allocation chart.
If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which
have the correct fuse rating for the system
concerned. Otherwise, components or
systems could be damaged.
Before changing a fuse
XSecure the vehicle against rolling away
( Y page 289).XSwitch off all electrical consumers.XRemove the SmartKey from the ignition
lock.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
R Fuse box on the right and left-hand sides of
the dashboard
R Fuse box in the rear
