How To Unlock Your Mercedes-Benz When The Key Fob Battery Is Dead

If your key fob is unresponsive, you can still unlock your Mercedes-Benz using the hidden mechanical key. The steps involved are as follows:

• Slide the release switch on your key fob to pull out the emergency metal key.
• Look for the key slot on the driver's door handle.
• Insert the key and manually unlock the door. No special tools are required.

How to Start Your Mercedes-Benz Without A Key Fob Battery

Once inside your vehicle, the next step is to start the engine without a working key fob battery. The good news is that the ignition system can still detect the chip inside the key, so you can start your Mercedes-Benz without a key fob battery being fully operational. Here is how to start your Mercedes-Benz with a dead key fob:

• Place the key fob in the key compartment, typically located next to the cupholder.
• Depress the brake pedal like you normally would when starting your vehicle.
