Operating safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle when driving, you may be distracted from
the traffic situation. You could also lose con-
trol of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rmerging lanes
Rparking or stopping in a no parking/no stop-
ping zone
Rother road and traffic rules and regulations
Rnarrow bridges
The multimedia system may provide incorrect
navigation recommendations if the actual
street/traffic situation does not correspond
with the digital map's data. Digital maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes in an area. For
example, a route may have been diverted or the
direction of a one-way street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of con-
sulting the map display for directions. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from
traffic conditions and driving, and increase the
risk of an accident. Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/
h), your vehicle covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every
second.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equip-
ment and meets t
he FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy
that is deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). How-
ever, it is recommended to install it at a distance of at least 8 inches (approx. 20 cm) between the
radiation source and a person's body (not
including limbs such as hands, wrists, feet and
legs).
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
USA only: The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference,
and
2) These devices must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
14Introduction

Canada only:The wireless devices of this vehi-
cle comply with Industry Canada license-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference,
and
2) These devices must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Correct use
You need to observe the following information
when using the multimedia system:
Rthe safety notes in this manual
Rtraffic rules and regulations
Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to motorvehicles
Using roof carriers may impair the correct func-
tioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite radio,
GPS).
Attaching metalized retrofit film to the wind-
shield may affect radio reception. This can have
a negative impact on all other antennas (e.g.
emergency call antenna) in the vehicle interior.
Protection against theft: this device is equip-
ped with technical provisions to protect it
against theft. Further information on protection
against theft can be obtained from an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Qualified specialist workshop
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.
Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are restric-
ted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion.
You will notice this, for example, because either you will not be able to select certain menu items
or a message will appear to this effect.
Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
A wide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
Rthe vehicle's operating state
Revents
Rmalfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
Roperating conditions of system components,
e.g. fluid levels
Rthe vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, deceleration in move-
ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position
Rmalfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditions in
special 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 nature
and can be used to:
Rassist in detecting and rectifying malfunc-
tions and defects
Ranalyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
Roptimize vehicle function
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-
mation can be read from the event data memory
and fault data memory.
Services include, for example:
Rrepair services
Rservice processes
Rwarranty events
Rquality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser- vice network (including the manufacturer) using
special diagnostic testers. You can obtain more
information there, if required.
Introduction15
Z

After a malfunction has been rectified, the infor-
mation is deleted from the malfunction memory
or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are con-
ceivable in which this technical data, in connec-
tion with other information (if necessary, after
consultation with an authorized expert), could
be 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 allow
certain vehicle data to be conveyed by the vehi-
cle as well. The additional functions include, for
example, vehicle location in case of an emer-
gency.
Multimedia system/mbrace
If the vehicle is equipped with multimedia sys-
tem or mbrace, additional data about the vehi-
cle’s operation, the use of the vehicle in certain
situations, and the location of the vehicle may
be compiled through the multimedia system or
the mbrace system.
For additional information please refer to the
multimedia system User Manual and/or the
mbrace Terms and Conditions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record data that will assist in understanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such as dur-
ing air bag deployment or when hitting a road
obstacle. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systemsfor a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
Rhow various systems in your vehicle are oper-
ating
Rwhether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts are fastened
Rhow far (if at all) the driver is depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal and
Rhow fast the vehicle is traveling
This data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, can combine the EDR data wi th
the ty

pe of personal identification data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or
the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties that have the spe-
cial equipment, such as law enforcement, can
read the information by accessing the vehicle 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 Crash
Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract
data from the EDR is commercially available,
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“MBUSA”) expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
extraction of this information by unauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with others
without the consent of the vehicle owners or, if
the vehicle is leased, without the consent of the
lessee. Exceptions to this representation
include responses to subpoenas by law enforce-
ment; by federal, state or local government; in
connection 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 the Su
p-
plemental Restraint System (“SRS”) Module.
Tampering with, altering, modifying or removing
the EDR component may result in a malfunction of the SRS Module and other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted.
This means that in the event of such conflict, the federal regulation governs. As of February 2013,
13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
