How to Start a Mercedes-Benz Car When the Key Is Lost?

Generally, after the car door is closed, there is a certain gap on the window, and you can remove the window's sealing strip. Then use a wire or thin rope to lower it down along the window gap at the door key position, hook it onto the door latch, and pull it up to open the door.

Last time my colleague lost his Mercedes key, and he was really frantic. I suggested he search all his coat pockets and backpack compartments first. If he really couldn't find it, he'd have to consider other options. Mercedes has several emergency starting methods: if there's a hidden mechanical keyhole in the car, try inserting and turning it; if it's a newer fully electronic model, quickly take out your phone and see if the Mercedes me app can remotely start the ignition. If all else fails, the only option is to tow the car to the dealership, where they can reprogram a new key using professional equipment. However, you'll need to prepare your ID and vehicle registration for verification, and it's bound to cost several thousand yuan. The worst part is waiting two or three days to get the new key, during which time the car is completely unusable. After going through this, I've gotten into the habit of keeping a spare key taped under my office drawer for emergencies.
