Data storage
Data storage
A wide range of electronic components in yourvehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-nently store technical information about:
Rthe vehicle's operating state
Rincidents
Rmalfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-ments the state of a component, a module, asystem or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
Roperating conditions of system components.For example, fluid levels
Rthe vehicle's status messages and those of itsindividual components, e.g. number of wheelrevolutions/speed, deceleration in move-ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedalposition
Rmalfunctions and defects in important systemcomponents, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditions inspecial driving situations, e.g. air bag deploy-ment, intervention of stability control sys-tems
Rambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical natureand can be used to:
Rassist in recognizing and rectifying malfunc-tions and defects
Ranalyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-dent
Roptimize vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle'smovements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-mation can be read from the event data memoryand malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
Rrepair services
Rservice processes
Rwarranties
Rquality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser-vice network (including the manufacturer) usingspecial diagnostic testers. More detailed infor-mation is obtained from it, if required.
Data storage29
Introduction
Z

After a malfunction has been rectified, the infor-mation is deleted from the malfunction memoryor is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are con-ceivable in which this technical data, in connec-tion with other information (if necessary, underconsultation with an authorized expert), couldbe traced to a person.
Examples include:
Raccident reports
Rdamage to the vehicle
Rwitness statements
Further additional functions that have been con-tractually agreed upon with the customer allowcertain vehicle data to be conveyed by the vehi-cle as well. The additional functions include, forexample, vehicle location in case of an emer-gency.
COMAND/Mercedes me connect
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND orMercedes me connect, additional data aboutthe vehicle's operation, the use of the vehicle incertain situations, and the location of the vehi-cle is compiled through COMAND or theMercedes me connect system.
For additional information, please refer to theCOMAND User Manual or Digital Operator'sManual and/or the Mercedes me connectTerms and Conditions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR). This vehicle is equipped with anevent data recorder (EDR). The main purpose ofan EDR is to record, in certain crash or nearcrash-like situations, such as an air bag deploy-ment or hitting a road obstacle, data that willassist in understanding how a vehicle's systemsperformed. The EDR is designed to record datarelating to vehicle dynamics and safety systemsfor a short period of time, typically 30 secondsor less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch data as:
RHow various systems in your vehicle wereoperating
RWhether or not the driver and passengersafety belts were buckled/fastened
RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing theaccelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
RHow fast the vehicle was traveling
These data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in which crashesand injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recordedby your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situa-tion occurs; no data are recorded by the EDRunder normal driving conditions and no personaldata (e.g. name, gender, age and crash location)are recorded. However, other parties, such aslaw enforcement could combine the EDR datawith the type of personally identifying data rou-tinely acquired during a crash investigation.
Access to the vehicle and/or the EDR is neededto read data that is recorded by an EDR, andspecial equipment is required. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, other parties that havethe special equipment, such as law enforce-ment, can read the information by accessing thevehicle or the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat-ters as a tool in accident reconstruction, acci-dent claims and vehicle safety. Since the CrashData Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extractdata from the EDR is commercially available,Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC ("MBUSA") expresslydisclaims any and all liability arising from theextraction of this information by unauthorizedMercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with otherswithout the consent of the vehicle owners or, ifthe vehicle is leased, without the consent of thelessee. Exceptions to this representationinclude responses to subpoenas by law enforce-ment; by federal, state or local government; inconnection with or arising out of litigation involv-ing MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or,as required by law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of theRestraint System Module. Tampering with, alter-ing, modifying or removing the EDR componentmay result in a malfunction of the Restraint Sys-tem Module and other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs thatconflict with federal regulation are pre-empted.This means that in the event of such conflict, thefederal regulation governs. As of February 2013,13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
