Keyless Go, Gearshift Start?

I just noticed, (on the Canadian site), they say you use a button at the top of the gearshift to start the car? Is this true? Can anyone confirm?


Keyless Go

This optional enhancement to the SmartKey system lets you unlock or lock your vehicle with the touch of a button on the outside door handle — without removing the key from your pocket or purse. Start-up is equally easy: Put your foot on the brake, tap the top of the gearshift, and you’re ready to take off.

Hmmm... I do have a keyless entry on my C63 and keyless start, but Start button is not on gearshift, it's where is the regular key ignition is. Maybe it's not for C class?

Yeah, I didn't think so, it would be to nice :P

It's probably copy and pasted text from one of the high SL models, or the SLR.


mmmmmm.... SLR

Gear shift keyless is on SL, SLK, CL, CLS, S, and E.
The C, ML, R, GL, have it to the right of the wheel.
