Have your mechanic check the car for a leaking head gasket; in the early stages white smoke - coolant being burned - will show up; you would not see any leaks, as the leak would be INTERNAL; driving with a defective headgasket will for sure cause more severe damage to the engine!

First off, check to see if you can pull down the back of the rear seat - many vehicles have this for storing longer items in the trunk. If not, you will need a locksmith to slimjim the trunk.When you do get into the trunk, see if there's a lockout switch near the trunk latch to keep this from happening again.

TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor) is first thing I would look at, they're notorious for this symptom. When was last healthy tune up? Plugs, wires, ALL filters including FUEL filter? I'd do tune up then see if problem exists.

Your best bet to find a service manual for this type of car is either Mercedes themselves or call napa and have one special ordered. That is about the only option you are going to have with the service manual

your boot or protective coverings may be bad. Your shifter should not get hot!!

Depends on the weather....hour or two.. I would take off the door panel and make sure the plastic liner is there or wrap the module up to insulate it

You could try connecting a battery charger to the generator's output terminal since the battery is connected directly to it. Be extra careful not to short that connection to ground (chassis of the vehicle)! After the battery has been charged enough, use your remote or the button for unlocking the trunk. You may also look up for a large positive terminal in the engine compartment and connect the charger there. Good lick and post the results here.
