Anti-Theft Protection

Function of the Immobilizer

The immobilizer prevents the vehicle from being started without the correct SmartKey. It is automatically activated when the vehicle is switched off, and deactivated when switched on. Always take the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Anyone can start the vehicle if a valid SmartKey is left inside.

% If the engine cannot start but the battery is charged, the system is not operational. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (USA) or 1-800-387-0100 (Canada).

Function of the ATA (Anti-Theft Alarm) System

If the ATA system is armed, a visual and audible alarm is triggered in the following situations:

• When a door, trunk lid, or hood is opened
