Asked by GuruYP63F Jul 06, 2020 at 11:01 AM about the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class GLK 350 4MATIC

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi, have 2015 MB GLK. After car is parked, take fob out but car still thinks it's in
- message pops up on dashboard saying to remove fob, radio stays on, and I
can't lock. Takes 3-4 minutes before car "turns off" so. Fob otherwise works
fine. Anyone else with same issue and were you able to resolve without taking
to dealer?

This may be off the wall, but shouldn't hurt: Step 1 Reset your Mercedes-Benz key by placing the key in the ignition of your vehicle while the vehicle is turned off. Do not turn on the vehicle. Press a finger on the "lock" button of your key fob while the key is in the Mercedes' ignition. Step 2 Pull the key out of the ignition while continuing to hold the "lock" button down. Continue to hold the "lock" button for the duration of the key resetting process. Step 3 Use another finger to push down on the "unlock" button five consecutive times. Keep holding down the "lock" button. Release the "lock" button. This is the end of the resetting process for your Mercedes-Benz. Use your key fob to ensure it is properly working.
