th e accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
RHow fasttheve hicle was tr ave ling.
This data can help pr ovide a better under stand‐
ing of the circums tances in which accidents and
inju ries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by
yo ur vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data is recorded bythe EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gende r,age and accident location) is
re corded. Ho wever,ot her parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine EDR data with the
type of pe rsonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash inve stigation.
Ac cess totheve hicle and/or the EDR is needed
to read data that is recorded bythe EDR, and
special equipment is requ ired. In addition tothe
ve hicle manufacturer, other parties that ha vethe special equipment, such as law enforcement,
can
read the information byaccessing theve hi‐
cle or the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat‐
te rs as a tool in accident reconstruction, acci‐
dent claims and vehicle saf ety. Since
the Crash
D

ata Retrie val (CDR) tool that is used toextract
da ta from the EDR is commercially available,
Mercedes-Benz US A,LLC ("MBUSA") expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
ex traction of this information byunauthorized

or its subsidiaries and af filiates; or, as required
by law.
Wa rning: the EDR is a component of the
Re stra int Sy stem Module. Tamp ering with, alter‐
ing, modifying or removing the EDR component may
result in a malfunction of theRe stra int Sys‐
te m Module and other sy stems.
