Mercedes keys (1 Viewer)

[golly]

Hi
I have just changed our motorhome for a 2010 Auto-Sleeper Surrey which is on a Mercedes chassis. The ignition keys are the electronic type incorporating central locking and alarm, according to the dealer it doesn't have an ordinary type key for the cab doors, there is a key for the habitation door and lockers but not for the cab doors even though there is a key hole on the drivers handle. Does anyone know if there should be a "normal" type key for the drivers door.

Thanks John

look closely at the key fob / remote! on the cars at the back of the fob there is an inserted key which you pop out in an emergeny. ( you push in what looks like a metal edge to the fob and out it pops )

there must be some device! what happens when a battery goes flat on the cab? either cant get in or cant lock it.

so there will be an overide key somewhere..

Thanks Phill, can't see anything like that, My thoughts were that there should be some way of locking if the electronics went kaput .

our m/h is on a 2009 merc sprinter and the "key" part (just the metal bit) pulls out of the plastic remote part, for use in emergencies, there's a little grey plastic bit on the top of the remote that you slide back to release it.

A big big thank you:thumb: Just had a "fiddle" with the key and bingo!! Emergency key found. Feel like a right plonker nowoh:

Thanks again

Dont, the plonker is the dealer who doesnt know his product well enough to advise you.
Just imagine how much else he doesnt know about what hes sold you.

I had the same problem with my sprinter van, I found it after looking the manualoh:

RE-BOOTING THIS;- Because to-day It has happened to me!. Not an issue, you might think, as I had the "Spare" in the house?. NO WAY. the "spare" will not unlock ANYTHING. replaced the batteries, still "ZILCH". So now I am faced with breaking into the `van Tomorrow. Sliding side window looks favourite, as I can probably reach the keys in the dash!.

So unless anyone has (sensible) suggestions?. Tomorrow I am faced with breaking and entering. Thanks to the dealers NOT checking that BOTH sets of keys worked!. I just took one and handed the "Spare" set to SWMBO. Doh!!!.

Ring your breakdown company they won’t do any damage (hopefully)k

On an A class the only locks that are Mercedes originals are likely to be the glovebox and possibly the fuel cap. That's the case on mine and the hab key opens everything except the aforementioned. I keep a hab key hidden outside the MH ever since a dog locked me out .
