Q from a newbie

Hello all - strongly considering buying a used '14 GL550, was wondering what is the full package of stuff that it should come with; nbr of keys?, valet key?, first aid kit? Etc. Also, what is the factory warranty period/mileage? Thanks!

If it is Mercedes Certified - then you don't have to worry about the small stuff.. it's covered/confirmed by check list -

If not certified, there are 2 sets of keys, no valet key.

Valet keys work on the ignition and door locks, but not the glove box or the 'security' box in the back. So you can lock things (gps, etc) in your glove box and the valet driver can't steal them

Thanks Jim.
I just thought there is a third key that I dont have, but it's the same key, but only without the part inside.

When you valet you can pop out the metal key blade from the fob and lock the glove and trunk compartment and give the valet the fob portion only.
