Mercedes-Benz GLC : Anti-theft protection / Function of the immobilizer
The immobilizer prevents your vehicle from being
started without the correct SmartKey.
The immobilizer is automatically activated when
the ignition is switched off and deactivated when
the ignition is switched on.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the Smart‐
Key with you and lock the vehicle. Anyone can
start the engine if a valid SmartKey has been left
inside the vehicle.
In the event the engine cannot be started
(yet the vehicle’s battery is charged), the
system is not operational. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or
1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).

NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles
Observe the notes in the Supplement.
You could otherwise fail to recognize
dangers.
AIR BODY CONTROL is an air suspension system
with variable damping for improved driving comfort.
The all-round level control system ensures
the best possible suspension and constant
ground clearance, even with a laden vehicle...
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
Together with ESP® and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves
the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven
wheel spins due to insufficient traction.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override
the laws of physics...
