Some control units are
requ ired forth e safe
operation of your vehicle, some assist you when
driving, such as driver assis tance sy stems, while
ot hers enable con venience or inf otainment func‐
tions.
The following pr ovides you with general informa‐
tion rega rding data processing in theve hicle.
Ad ditional information rega rding exact ly which
da ta inyour vehicle are collected, sa ved and
transmit tedto third parties, and for what pur‐
pose, can be found in the information directly
re lated tothe functional characteristics in ques‐
tion in their respective operating instructions.
This information is also available online and,
depending on theve hicle equipment, digitally.
Pe rsonal data
Every vehicle is identified bya unique vehicle
identification number. Depending on the coun‐
tr y, this vehicle identification number can be
used by,fo rex ample, go vernmental auth orities
to determ ine the identity of theow ner. The reare
ot her possibilities touse data collec ted from the
ve hicle toidentify theow ner or driver, su chas
th e licence plate number. Therefore, data
generated or processed bycon‐
trol units may be attributable toa person or,
under cer tain conditions, become att ributable to
a person. Depending on which vehicle data are
av ailable, it may be possible tomake inferences
about, forex ample, your driving behaviour, your
location, your route or your use pat tern s.
Legal requirements rega rding the disclosure
of data
If legally requ ired todo so, manufacturers are, in
individual cases, legally obliged toprov ide gov‐
ernmental entities, upon request and tothe
ex tent requ ired, data stored bythe manufac‐
turer. Forex ample, this may be the case during
th e in vestigation of a criminal of fence.
Go vernmental entities are themselves, in individ‐
ual cases and within the applicable legal frame‐
wo rk, authorised toread out data from theve hi‐
cle. In the case of an accident, information that
can help with an in vestigation can, therefore, be
ta ke n from the airbag control unit, forex ample.
Operational data in theve hicle
This is data rega rding the operation of theve hi‐
cle, which ha vebeen processed bycontrol units. This includes
thefo llowing data, forex ample:
R vehicle status information such as the speed,
longitudinal acceleration, lateral accelera‐
tion, number of wheel revo lutions or thefa s‐
te ned seat belts displ ay
R ambient conditions, such as temp erature,
ra in sensor or dis tance sensor
General ly,th e use of these data is temp orar y;
th ey will not be stored be yond the period of
operation and will only be processed within the
ve hicle itself. Control units of ten contain da ta
memories forve hicle keys,fo rex ample. Their
use permits thete mp orary or permanent docu‐
mentation of tech nical information about the
ve hicle's operating state, component loads,
main tenance requ irements and tech nical events
or faults.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, thefo llow‐
ing data are stored:
R operating status of sy stem components,
such as fill le vels, tyre pressure or battery
st atus
R malfunctions or faults in impor tant sy stem
components, such as lights or brakes 30

nction of PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS (anticipatory
occupant pr otection plus) PRE-
SAFE®
PLUS can de tect cer tain impacts,
particular lyan imminent rear impact, and take
pre-em ptive measures toprotect theve hicle
occupants. These measures cannot necessarily
pr eve nt an imminent impact.
PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS can implement thefo llowing
measures independently of each other:
R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
and front passenger seat.
R Activating there ar hazard warning lights at a
higher flashing frequenc y.
R Increasing brake pressure when theve hicle
is stationar y.This brake application is cancel‐
led automatically when theve hicle pulls
aw ay. If an accident did not occur,
the pre-em ptive
measures that we retake n are reve rsed.
Sy stem limits
The sy stem will not initiate any action in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
R when reve rsing
or
R when theve hicle is towing a trailer and there
is a risk of a rear impact
The sy stem will not initiate any braking applica‐
tion in thefo llowing situations:
R whilst driving
or
R when entering or exiting a parking space
while using Active Parking Assist Safely transporting
children in theve hicle Alw
ays obser vewhen children are tr avelling

Be diligent
Bear in mind that negligence when securing a
ch ild in thech ild restra int sy stem may ha veseri‐
ous consequences. Alw ays be diligent in secur‐
ing a child carefully before everyjou rney.
To impr oveprotection forch ildren younger than
12 years old or under 1.50 m in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you obse rvethe
fo llowing information:
R Alw ays secure thech ild in a child restra int
sy stem suitable forth is Mercedes-Benz vehi‐
cle.
R The child restra int sy stem must be appropri‐
ate tothe age, weight and size of thech ild.
R The vehicle seat must be suitable forfitting a
ch ild restra int sy stem (/ page54).
Ac cident statistics show that children secured
on there ar seats are general lysafer than chil‐
dren secured on the front seats. Forth is reason, Occupant saf

Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,
th e electric mo tor is operated as an alternator

order tocharge the high-voltage battery while
driving. As soon as youre lease the accelerator
pedal when theve hicle is in motion, recupera‐
