style to the vehicle\bs driving characteris-
tics and to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.USACanada
Utility vehicles have a signi"Ncantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
If this type of vehicle is not driven safely, an acci- dent can occur, the vehicle can roll over andoccupants can su"Mer serious or even fatal inju-
ries.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signi"N-
cantly more likely to die than a person wearing a
seat belt.
You and all vehicle occupants should always wear your seat belts.
32General notes

Notes for persons with electronic medical aids
Mercedes-Benz AG cannot, despite carefully
developing vehicle systems, completely rule out
the interaction of vehicle systems with electronic medical aids such as cardiac pacemakers.
In addition, there are components installed in the
vehicle that, regardless of the operating status of
the vehicle, can generate magnetic "Nelds on a par
with permanent magnets. These "Nelds can be
found, for example, in the area around the multi- media and sound system or also in the area of theseats, depending on the vehicle equipment.
For this reason, the following can occur in isolatedcases, depending on the aids used:
= Medical aids malfunctioning
= Adverse health e"Mects
Observe the notes and warnings of the manufac- turer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact thedevice manufacturer and/or your doctor. If there is continuing uncertainty concerning the possibil-ity of medical aids malfunctioning, Mercedes-
Benz AG recommends using only few electricalvehicle systems and/or maintaining a distance
from the components.
Only have repairs and maintenance work in the
area of the following components carried out at a
quali"Ned specialist workshop:
= Vehicle components carrying live voltage
= Transmission antenna
= Multimedia system and sound system
If you have any queries or suggestions, consult a
quali"Ned specialist workshop.

violation of these operating instructions.
Damage to the vehicle can arise from violation
of these operating instructions.
This damage is not covered either by the
Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the New!

Data storage
Data processing in the vehicle
Electronic control units
Your vehicle is installed with electronic control
units. Control units process data that they e.g. receive from vehicle sensors, generate them-selves or exchange among themselves. Some
control units are required for the safe operation of
your vehicle, some assist you when driving (e.g. driver assistance systems), while others enableconvenience or infotainment functions.
In the following, you will "Nnd general information
about data processing in the vehicle. Additional
information on what speci"Nc data is collected,
stored and transmitted to third parties for what
purpose in your vehicle can be found in the notes on the functional features in question in the
respective operating instructions. These are also
available online and, depending on the equipment,
digitally in the vehicle.
Personal data
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehicle iden-
ti"Ncation number. Depending on the country, this
vehicle identi"Ncation number can be used by, for
example, government authorities to determine the
identity of the owner. There are other possibilities
for using data collected from the vehicle to iden- tify the owner or driver (e.g. the license plate
number).
The data generated or processed by control units may therefore be personal or, under certain con-
ditions, become personal. Depending on what vehicle data is available, it may be possible to
make inferences about e.g. your driving behavior,
location, route or use patterns.
Legal requirements for the disclosure of data
If legal regulations exist, manufacturers are gener-
ally obligated to release data stored by the manu- facturer to the necessary extent in individualcases at the request of state authorities. This maybe the case during the investigation of a criminal
o"Mense, for example.
Within the framework of applicable law, state authorities are also authorized to read out data
from vehicles themselves in speci"Nc cases. In the
event of an accident, for example, information canbe read from the air bag control unit that can help to establish what happened.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the vehicle.
This includes the following data:
= Vehicle status information such as the speed,
longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration,
number of wheel revolutions or the fastened
seat belts display
= Ambient conditions such as temperature, rain
sensor or distance sensor
As a rule, this data is volatile, is not stored beyond the operating time and is processed only in thevehicle itself. Control units (e.g. the vehicle key)
o"sen contain data memories. These are used to
temporarily or permanently document information
on the vehicle condition, component stress, main-
tenance requirements or technical events and malfunctions.
Depending on the technical equipment, the fol- lowing data is stored:
= Operating status of system components (e.g.
"Nll levels, tire pressure, battery status)General notes35

=Malfunctions or faults in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
= System reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. air bag deployment, the intervention of
stability control systems)
= information on events leading to vehicle dam-
age
In special cases, it may be necessary to store
data that would otherwise only be volatile. This
may be the case if the vehicle has detected a mal- function, for example.
If you use services such as repair services or
maintenance work, stored operational data can be
read out and used together with the vehicle identi-
"Ncation number, where necessary. It can be read
out by service network employees (e.g. work- shops and manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services). The same applies to war-
ranty cases and quality assurance measures.
The data is usually read out via the diagnosticsconnection in the vehicle, which is required by
law. The operating data that is read out docu-
ments technical conditions of the vehicle or indi-
vidual components and helps to diagnose mal-functions, meet warranty obligations and improve
quality. This data, in particular information on
component stress, technical events, operating
errors and other malfunctions, is transmitted to the manufacturer for this purpose together with
the vehicle identi"Ncation number if necessary. In
addition, the manufacturer is subject to product liability. For this reason, the manufacturer also
uses operational data from the vehicle for e.g.
recalls. This data can also be used to check cus- tomer claims for warranty and guarantee.
Malfunction memories in the vehicle can be reset
during repair or service work or, at your request,
by a service company.
Comfort and infotainment functions
You can save comfort settings and customizations
in the vehicle and change or reset them at any time.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, this
includes the following settings:
= Seat positions and steering wheel positions
= Suspension tuning and climate control set-
tings
= Personalized settings (e.g. interior lighting)You can incorporate data into the vehicle\bs info-
tainment functions yourself as part of the selec- ted equipment.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, this
includes the following data:
= Multimedia data (e.g. music, "Nlms or photos
for playback in an integrated multimedia sys- tem)
= Address book data for use in conjunction with
an integrated hands-free system or integrated
navigation system
= Navigation destinations that have been
entered
= Data about using Internet services
This data for comfort and infotainment functions
can be saved locally in the vehicle or is stored on
a device that you have connected to the vehicle
(e.g. smartphone, USB "Oash drive or MP3 player).
If you have entered data yourself, you can delete
it at any time.
The transfer of this data out of the vehicle takes
place exclusively at your request. This applies in36General notes

particular when you are using online services
according to the settings you have selected.
Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or
Apple CarPlay n
)
If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can then control them using the controls integrated in the vehicle. Thesmartphone\bs picture and sound can be outputvia the multimedia system. Speci"Nc items of infor-
mation are also sent to your smartphone.
Depending on the type of integration, this
includes position data, day/night mode and other general vehicle statuses. Please refer to the vehi- cle Operator\bs Manual / infotainment system
operating instructions for further information.
This integration allows the use of selected smart-
phone apps (e.g. navigation apps, music player apps). No additional interaction !

Data protection rights
Depending on your country or the equipment and
range of functions of your vehicle as well as the services you use and the services on o"Mer, you
are entitled to di"Merent data protection rights.
Further information on data protection and your data protection rights can either be found on the
manufacturer\bs website or you will receive this information as part of the various services andservice o"Mers. There you will also "Nnd the contact
information for the manufacturer and its data pro-
tection o"Pcers.
At a workshop, for example, with the support of a
specialist and possibly for a fee, you can have
data read out which is stored only locally in the
vehicle.
MBUX multimedia system/Mercedes me connect
If the vehicle is equipped with the MBUX multime-
dia system or Mercedes me connect, additional
data about the vehicle\bs operation, the use of the
vehicle in certain situations, and the location of the vehicle may be compiled by the MBUX multi-media system or Mercedes me connect.
For additional information, please refer to the
"MBUX multimedia system" section and/or the Mercedes me connect Terms and Conditions.
Event data recorder
USA only:
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understand-
ing how a vehicle!
