P80.30-2029-26

The KEYLESS-GO-card (1) does not have a removable mechanical key. The functions of the KEYLESS-GO-card (1) are identical to those of the electronic key. Carrying the card with you permits the use of the vehicle.

The validity of the KEYLESS-GO-card is checked every time when grasping a door handle or pushing the trunk lid release. Once the KEYLESS-GO-card is recognized outside the vehicle, the doors, trunk lid and fuel filler flap are unlocked, depending on the selected mode (global or selective unlocking mode, see page 42). Starter switch KEYLESS-GO, see page 230. Starting and turning off the engine with KEYLESS-GO, see page 234 and page 234.

Note: In the case of a malfunction in the KEYLESS-GO-system, we recommend that you carry the electronic key plus mechanical key with you and keep them in a safe place so that they are always handy. Never leave the electronic key or a KEYLESS-GO-card in the vehicle.

Obtaining replacement keys Your vehicle is equipped with a theft deterrent locking system requiring a special key manufacturing process. For security reasons, replacement keys or the KEYLESS- GO-card can only be obtained from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Note: In case the engine cannot be started (vehicle’s battery is in order), 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 If the electronic key is inserted in the starter switch, the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked with the remote control or a KEYLESS-GO-card. If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked: • Aim transmitter eye at a receiver on either door

handle. Check the batteries of the electronic key, see page 369, or synchronize the remote control, see page 371.

• Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO only:

A KEYLESS-GO-card must be recognized by the system as being outside the vehicle to enable the vehicle to be locked or unlocked (maximum distance between card and doors or trunk is approximately 3 ft. (1 m). Check the location of the KEYLESS-GO- card, see page 37. Check the batteries of the KEYLESS-GO-card, see page 372. The trunk lid will open automatically if a KEYLESS-GO card is detected in the trunk, see page 38.

Note: If neither the remote control nor KEYLESS-GO system functions, use the mechanical key to unlock or lock the vehicle. To start engine, insert the electronic key in the starter switch. There could be a slight delay until the electronic key can be turned in the starter switch.

Important! When unlocking the driver’s door with the mechanical key, the exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will sound. To cancel the alarm: • insert the electronic key in the starter switch, • press button Œ or ‹ on the electronic key or • vehicles with KEYLESS-GO:

when carrying the KEYLESS-GO-card, grasp the door handle or press the start-/stop button on the gear selector lever.

Central locking system

Radio frequency and infrared remote control The electronic key has an integrated radio frequency and infrared remote control. Due to the extended operational range of the remote control, it could be possible to unintentionally lock or unlock the vehicle by pressing the transmit button. If one of the transmit buttons is pressed, the battery check lamp lights up briefly – indicating that the batteries are in order. See page 369 for checking batteries. The vehicle doors, trunk and fuel filler flap can be centrally locked and unlocked via remote control. Opening and closing the windows and sliding/pop-up roof and switching on the driver’s seat ventilation can only be done with the infrared portion of the remote control. Aim transmitter eye at a receiver (6 or 7), press and hold transmit button Œ or ‹, see page 44. With vehicle centrally locked, the trunk can also be opened by using the remote control. If the electronic key is inserted in starter switch, the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked, and the trunk lid cannot be opened with the remote control.

Locking and unlocking with remote control

Unlocking: Press transmit button Œ. All turn signal lamps blink once to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked. The remote control can be programmed for two kinds of unlocking modes (see below): Selective unlocking mode – Press transmit button Œ once to unlock driver’s door and fuel filler flap. Press transmit button Œ twice to unlock both doors, fuel filler flap, and trunk. Global unlocking mode – Press transmit button Œ once to unlock both doors, fuel filler flap, and trunk.

Notes: If the trunk was previously locked separately, it will remain locked, see page 52. The presently active unlocking mode (selective or global) can only be determined by unlocking the vehicle with the remote control (see below for changing mode).

If within 40 seconds of unlocking with the remote control, neither door nor trunk is opened, the electronic key is not inserted in the starter switch, or the central locking switch is not activated, the vehicle will automatically lock.

Locking: Press transmit button ‹ once. All turn signal lamps blink three times to indicate that the vehicle is locked. If they do not blink three times, a door or trunk is not properly closed.

Note: If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked by pressing the transmit button, then it may be necessary to change the batteries in the electronic key (if ok, battery check lamp in electronic key will light briefly when pressing transmit button) or to synchronize the remote control, see pages 369 and 371.

Choosing global or selective mode on remote control Press and hold transmit buttons ‹ and Œ simultaneously for approximately 6 seconds to reprogram the remote control. Battery check lamp will blink two times indicating the completed mode change.

Opening the trunk The trunk lid will swing open automatically. You should always make sure there is sufficient clearance. A minimum height clearance of 6 ft. (1.85 m) is required to open the trunk lid. Press transmit button Š until trunk lid is open.

Important! Do not place remote control in trunk since trunk is locked when the lid is closed if the vehicle is centrally locked.

Notes: If the trunk was previously locked separately, it will remain locked, see page 52. Vehicles with optional trunk lid opening/closing system (see page 57): The switch operated opening/closing procedure can be immediately halted by pressing button Š on the electronic key.

J_OM_215.book Seite 37 Mittwoch, 30. Mai 2001 2:01 14

KEYLESS-GO

Important! For the KEYLESS-GO-system to function properly, the operator should observe the following: • The driver should carry the KEYLESS-GO-card with

him/her.

• To avoid radio transmission interference, never store the KEYLESS-GO-card together with other electronic items (e.g. cellular telephones, other KEYLESS-GO- cards) or metallic objects (e.g. coins, metal foil). • To lock or unlock the vehicle, the card must be

recognized by the system as being located outside the vehicle. The card must be in close proximity to a door or the trunk lid (approx. 3 ft. [1 m]). To activate the start/stop button function, the KEYLESS-GO- card must be recognized by the system as being located inside the vehicle.

• If the KEYLESS-GO-card is positioned farther away from the vehicle (e.g. inside clothing or a briefcase) and can no longer be recognized by the system, the vehicle cannot be locked or the engine started via the KEYLESS-GO-system.

• If the KEYLESS-GO-card is removed from the vehicle while the engine is running, or by placing the card in front of the center armrest (see page 195), the message “CHIP-CARD – NOT RECOGNIZED!” will appear repeatedly in the multifunction display, see page 324. Find the card or change its present location (e.g. place it on the front passenger seat or insert it in shirt pocket).

• If the message “CHIP-CARD – NOT RECOGNIZED” is ignored for an extended period of time (approx.15 minutes), the engine could stop by itself during a vehicle stop (e.g. traffic light). The vehicle can then no longer be centrally locked or the engine restarted. You must first find the card or change its present location (e.g. place it on the front passenger seat or insert it in shirt pocket). Start the engine again. See page 230.

• Do not forget, the engine can be started by anyone

with a KEYLESS-GO-card that is left inside the vehicle. Leaving the chip-card behind when exiting and locking the vehicle, the message “CHIP-CARD – STILL IN VEHICLE” appears in the multifunction display, see page 324.

• Opening the driver’s door with the engine shut off

and no electronic key in the starter switch, the message “CHIP-CARD – DO NOT FORGET” appears as a reminder, see page 324.

Important In the case of a malfunction in the KEYLESS-GO-system, we recommend that you carry the electronic key plus mechanical key with you and keep them in a safe place so that they are always handy. Never leave the electronic key in the vehicle.

Notes: The KEYLESS-GO-function also permits closing of windows and sliding/pop-up roof (convenience feature), see page 45. With the KEYLESS-GO-card in close proximity (approx. 3 ft. [1 m]) of the vehicle, aiming a jet of water at a door handle (e.g. when washing the vehicle) or cleaning snow from a door, could lock or unlock the vehicle inadvertently. To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout, the trunk lid will open automatically if a KEYLESS-GO-card is recognized in the area of the rear shelf or inside the trunk.

J_OM_215.book Seite 39 Mittwoch, 30. Mai 2001 2:01 14

Locking and unlocking with KEYLESS-GO-card

Unlocking: Grasp either door handle. All turn signal lamps blink once to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked. The KEYLESS-GO-card can be programmed for two kinds of unlocking modes (see below): Selective unlocking mode – Grasp driver’s door handle to unlock driver’s door and fuel filler flap. Grasping the passenger door, centrally unlocks the vehicle. Global unlocking mode – Grasp either door handle to unlock both doors, fuel filler flap, and trunk. For choosing global or selective mode on KEYLESS-GO- card, see page 42.

Notes: The door which was unlocked, can be opened immediately after the audible click. The other door can be opened after its lock button rises up. If the trunk was previously locked separately, it will remain locked, see page 52. The presently active unlocking mode (selective or global) can be determined by pressing the button on the KEYLESS-GO-card (see page 42 for changing mode). If within 40 seconds of unlocking with the KEYLESS-GO-card, neither door nor trunk is opened, the electronic key is not inserted in the starter switch, or the central locking switch is not activated, the vehicle will automatically lock.
