technical information aboutthevehicle's operat‐ingstate, component loads, maintenancerequirements andtechnicalevents or malfunc‐tions.
Ingeneral,this information documentsthestateof a component part, a module, a system orthesurroundings such as:
Roperatingstatus of system components (e.g.fill levels, batterystatus, tire pressure)
Rstatus messages concerningthevehicle orits individual components (e.g. number ofwheelrevolutions/speed, longitudinal accel‐eration, lateral acceleration, display offas‐tened seat belts)
Rmalfunctions orfaults in important systemcomponents (e.g. lights, brakes)
Rinformation onevents leadingtovehicledamage
Rsystemreactions in special driving situations(e.g. airbag deployment, intervention ofsta‐bility control systems)
Rambient conditions (e.g.temperature,rainsensor)
In additiontoprovidingthe actual control unitfunction,this data assiststhe manufacturer indetecting andrectifying malfunctions and opti‐mizingvehicle functions. The majority ofthisdata istemporary and is only processed inthevehicle itself. Only a small portion ofthe data isstored intheevent or malfunction memory.
Whenyourvehicle is serviced,technical datafromthevehicle can beread outbyservice net‐workemployees (e.g.workshops, manufactur‐ers) orthird parties (e.g. breakdown services).Services includerepair services, maintenanceprocesses,warranty claims andquality assur‐ance measures,forexample. Theread out is per‐formed viathe legally prescribed portforthediagnostics connection inthevehicle. Therespective service network locations orthirdparties collect, process and usethe data. Theydocumenttechnicalstatuses ofthevehicle,assist infinding malfunctions and improvingquality and are transmittedtothe manufacturer,if necessary.Furthermore,the manufacturer issubjecttoproduct liability.Forthis,the manu‐facturerrequirestechnical datafromvehicles.
Fault memories inthevehicle can beresetby aservice outlet as part ofrepair or maintenancework.
Depending onthe selected equipment,you canimport data intothevehicle's comfort and info‐tainment functionsyourself.
This includes,forexample:
Rmultimedia data such as music,films or pho‐tosfor playbackin an integrated multimediasystem
Raddress book datafor use in connection withan integrated hands-free system or an inte‐grated navigation system
Rentered navigation destinations
Rdata aboutthe use of Internet services
This data can be saved locally inthevehicle or itis located on a device whichyou haveconnectedtothevehicle (e.g. smartphone, USBflash driveor MP3 player).

Event datarecorders
USA only:
Thisvehicle is equipped with anevent datarecorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR istorecord, in certain crash or near crash-like sit‐uations, such as an airbag deployment or hittingaroad obstacle, datathat will assist in under‐standing how avehicle's systems performed.The EDR is designedtorecord datarelatedto
vehicle dynamics and safety systemsfor a shortperiod of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR inthisvehicle is designedtorecordsuchdata as:
RHowvarious systems inyourvehiclewereoperating
RWhether or notthe driver and frontpassenger seat beltswerebuckled/fastened
RHowfar (if at all)the driverwas depressingthe accelerator and/or brake pedal and
RHowfastthevehiclewas traveling
This data can help provide a better understand‐ing ofthe circumstances in which accidents andinjuries occur. NOTE: EDR data isrecordedbyyourvehicle only if a non-trivial crash situationoccurs; no data isrecordedbythe EDR undernormal driving conditions and no personal data(e.g. name,gender,age and accident location) isrecorded. However,other parties, such as lawenforcement, could combine EDR data withthetype of personally identifying dataroutinelyacquired during a crash investigation.
Accesstothevehicle and/orthe EDR is neededtoread datathat isrecordedbythe EDR, andspecial equipment isrequired. In additiontothevehicle manufacturer,other partiesthat havethespecial equipment, such as law enforcement,canreadthe informationbyaccessingthevehi‐cle orthe EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat‐tersas atool in accidentreconstruction, acci‐dent claims andvehicle safety.Sincethe CrashDataRetrieval (CDR)toolthat is usedtoextractdatafromthe EDR is commerciallyavailable,Mercedes-Benz USA,LLC ("MBUSA")expresslydisclaims any and all liability arising fromtheextraction ofthis informationbyunauthorizedMercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data withothers with‐outthe consent ofthevehicleowner or, ifthevehicle is leased, withoutthe consent ofthe les‐see. Exceptionstothisrepresentation includeresponsestosubpoenasbylaw enforcement;byfederal,state or local government; in connectionwith or arising out of litigation involving MBUSAor its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, asrequiredbylaw.
