Remote door unlock
In the case you have your vehicle locked unintentionally
(e.g. key inside vehicle), and the reserve key is not
handy, contact the Mercedes-Benz Response Center at
1-800-756-9018 (in the USA) or 1-888-923-8367 (in
Canada). You will be asked to provide your password
which you provided when you completed the subscriber
agreement.
Then return to your vehicle and press trunk lock for a
minimum of 20 seconds.
The Response Center will then unlock your vehicle with
the remote door unlocking feature.
Note:
The remote door unlock feature is available if the
relevant cellular phone network and GPS signals are
available.
Vehicle location / stolen vehicle tracking services
Should you wish to locate your vehicle, contact the
Mercedes-Benz Response Center at 1-800-756-9018 (in
the USA) or 1-888-923-8367 (in Canada). You will be
asked to provide your password which you provided
when you completed the subscriber agreement.
In the event your vehicle was stolen, report the incident
to the police who will issue a numbered incident report.
Pass this number on to the Mercedes-Benz Response
Center.
The Response Center will then attempt to covertly
contact the vehicle’s Tele Aid system. The key in the
steering lock must be in position 1 or 2 and the cellular
and GPS signals must be available. The Response Center
will contact you at the phone number(s) provided in the
agreement once the vehicle is located. The Response
Center will attempt to contact the vehicle until located,
up to a maximum of 14 days or until the vehicle location
incident report is cancelled by you.
