Diagnostic connector
The diagnostics connection is only intendedfor the connection of diagnostic equipment ata qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it may affect the
operation of vehicle systems. As a result,
the operating safety of the vehicle could be
affected. There is a risk of an accident.
Only connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, which is approved
for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
GWARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict
the pedal travel or obstruct a depressed

accident.
Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are
stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter
the driver's footwell. Install the floormats
securely and as specified in order to ensure
sufficient clearance for the pedals. Do not
use loose floormats and do not place floor-
mats on top of one another.
!If the engine is switched off and equip-ment on the diagnostics connection is used,the starter battery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics con-nection can lead to emissions monitoringinformation being reset, for example. This maylead to the vehicle failing to meet the require-ments of the next emissions test during themain inspection.
Qualified specialist workshop

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 ofits individual components, e.g. number ofwheel revolutions/speed, deceleration inmovement, lateral acceleration, acceleratorpedal position
Rmalfunctions and defects in important sys-tem components, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditionsin special driving situations, e.g. air bagdeployment, intervention of stability controlsystems
Rambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera-ture
28Data storage
Int roduction

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 mem-ory and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
Rrepair services
Rservice processes
Rwarranties
Rquality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of theservice network (including the manufacturer)using special diagnostic testers. More detailedinformation is obtained from it, if required.
After a malfunction has been rectified, theinformation is deleted from the malfunctionmemory or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations areconceivable in which this technical data, inconnection with other information (if neces-sary, under consultation with an authorizedexpert), could be traced to a person.
Examples include:
Raccident reports
Rdamage to the vehicle
Rwitness statements
Further additional functions that have beencontractually agreed upon with the customerallow certain vehicle data to be conveyed bythe vehicle as well. The additional functionsinclude, for example, vehicle location in caseof an emergency.
COMAND/Mercedes me connect
(Canada: TELEAID)
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND orMercedes me connect, additional data aboutthe vehicle's operation, the use of the vehiclein certain situations, and the location of thevehicle 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
USA only:
This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR). This vehicle is equipped withan event data recorder (EDR). The main pur-pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash ornear crash-like situations, such as an air bagdeployment or hitting a road obstacle, datathat will assist in understanding how a vehi-cle's systems performed. The EDR is designedto record data relating to vehicle dynamicsand safety systems for a short period of time,typically 30 seconds or 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 depressingthe accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
RHow fast the vehicle was traveling
These data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR dataare recorded by your vehicle only if a non-triv-ial crash situation occurs; no data are recor-ded by the EDR under normal driving condi-tions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender,age and crash location) are recorded. How-ever, other parties, such as law enforcementcould combine the EDR data with the type ofpersonally identifying data routinely acquiredduring a crash investigation.
Access to the vehicle and/or the EDR is nee-ded to read data that is recorded by an EDR,and special equipment is required. In additionto the vehicle manufacturer, other parties thathave the special equipment, such as lawenforcement, can read the information byaccessing the vehicle or the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminalmatters as a tool in accident reconstruction,accident claims and vehicle safety. Since theCrash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used toextract data from the EDR is commercially

Rthe restraint system control unit predicts ahigh accident severity
Knee bags
Driver's knee bagCdeploys under the steer-ing column and front-passenger knee bagDunder the glove box. The driver's and front-passenger knee bags are triggered togetherwith the front air bags.
The driver's and front-passenger knee bagsoffer additional thigh, knee and lower leg pro-tection for the occupants in the front seats.
Side impact air bags
GWARNING
Unsuitable seat covers can obstruct or pre-
vent deployment of the air bags integrated
into the seats. Consequently, the air bags
cannot protect vehicle occupants as they
are designed to do. In addition, the opera-
tion of the occupant classification system
(OCS) could be adversely affected. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
You should only use seat covers that have
been approved for the respective seat by
Mercedes-Benz.
Front side impact air bagsCand rear sideimpact air bagsDdeploy next to the outerbolster of the seat backrest.
When deployed, the side impact air bag offersadditional thorax protection. It also offersadditional pelvis protection for occupants inthe front seats. However, it does not protectthe:
Rhead
Rneck
Rarms
If the restraint system control unit detects aside impact, the side impact air bag isdeployed on the side on which the impactoccurs.
The side impact air bag on the front passengerside deploys under the following conditions:
Rthe OCS system detects that the frontpassenger seat is occupied or
Rthe seat belt buckle tongue is engaged inthe belt buckle of the front passenger seat
If the belt tongue is engaged in the beltbuckle, the side impact air bag on the frontpassenger side deploys if an appropriate acci-dent situation occurs. In this case, deploymentis independent of whether the front passengerseat is occupied or not.
