Saw my mistake.

This is not a Chauffeur key, it is a valet key.



Valet key starts the ignition and opens the drivers side door but prevents the valet from gaining access to valuables that are located in the trunk or the glove box.

I think that is what you call a spare key, on the second picture you pull out the

bottom and that is your key to open the the door manually, then the top portion

is your key for the ignition.MB recommends that you put this key on your wallet.

Hope this Helps
p.c.

Your valet key looks slightly different than mine, but if it is thinner than your Smart Key, no lock/unlock, trunk, or panic buttons and doesn't require a battery, that has to be what it is.

This is Smart key without remote that has blade key sliding into the corner.
I think the understanding of valet key got reversed in that system. Took me few seconds to figure out, that with the key without the remote, I have to give the valet the blade key, that open the door AND glove box (I am talking wagon here), so finally i gave the valet the remote/smart key and kept the blade with me.
We've got sedan lately so I wonder how that would work on it.
Anybody read the manual?
