Vehicle remote opening
If you have unintentionally locked your vehicle (e.g. the SmartKey is still in the vehicle) and a replacement SmartKey is not available, the vehicle can be opened by a Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center.
The vehicle can be opened remotely up to four days after the ignition was last switched off.

- USA: Mercedes-Benz Customer
Assistance Center under 1-800-FORMERCedes (
1-800-367-6372) or
1-888-990-9007
- Canada: Customer Service at
1-888-923-8367
You will be asked for your password.

Vehicle remote unlocking is only possible if the corresponding mobile phone network is accessible.
