Ensure that parking brake is engaged and that selector 
lever is in position “P” or “N” (gearshift lever in 
neutral). Turn electronic key in starter switch to 
position 2.

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

Do not depress accelerator. Briefly turn electronic key in 
starter switch clockwise to the stop and release. The 
starter will engage until the engine is running.

If engine will not run, and the starting procedure stops, 
turn electronic key completely to the left and repeat 
starting the engine.

After several unsuccessful attempts, have the system 
checked at the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center.

Vehicles with manual transmission:

Do not depress accelerator. Fully depress clutch pedal, 
otherwise the engine cannot be started due to the 
integrated safety interlock.

Turn electronic key in starter switch clockwise to the 
stop. Release only when the engine is firing regularly.

Due to the installed starter non-repeat feature, the 
electronic key must be turned completely to the left 
before attempting to start the engine again.

In areas where temperatures frequently drop below -4

°

F 

(-20

°

C) we recommend that an engine block heater be 

installed. Your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center will 
advise you on this subject, see page 269.

Turn the electronic key in the starter switch to 
position 0 to turn off the engine.

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

The electronic key can only be removed with the
