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.

the front passenger front airbag is correct(→page43).
\nWARNINGRisk of burns from hot air bagcomponents
The air bag parts are hot after an air bag hasbeen deployed.
Do nottouchthe air bag parts.
Havea deployed air bagreplaced at aqualified specialistworkshop as soonas possible.
Mercedes-Benzrecommendsthatyou havethevehicletowedtoaqualified specialistworkshopafter an accident.Takethis into account, partic‐ularly if an EmergencyTensioning Device is trig‐gered or an airbag deployed.
Ifthe EmergencyTensioning Devices are trig‐gered or an airbag is deployed,you will hear abang, and a small amount of powder may also bereleased:
RThe bang will notgenerally affectyour hear‐ing.
RIngeneral,the powderreleased is not haz‐ardoustohealth but may cause short-termbreathing difficultiestopersons sufferingfrom asthma orother pulmonary conditions.
Provided it is safetodo so, leavethevehicleimmediately or openthe window in ordertoprevent breathing difficulties.
Airbags andpyrotechnic EmergencyTensioningDevices contain perchlorate material, which mayrequire special handling or environmental pro‐tection measures.National guidelinesregardingwaste disposal must be observed. In California,see http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/Perchlorate/index.cfm.
