In addition to pr ov iding th e actual control unit
function, th is data assists th e manufacturer in
de te cting and re ctifying malfunctions and opti‐
mizing ve hicle functions. The majority of th is
data is te mp orary and is only processed in th e
ve hicle itself. Only a small portion of th e data is
st ored in th e ev ent or malfunction memor y.
When yo ur ve hicle is serviced, te ch nical da ta
from th e ve hicle can be re ad out by service net‐
wo rk emplo ye es or th ird parties. Services
include re pair services, maintenance processes, wa rr anty eve nts and qu ality assurance meas‐
ures, fo r ex ample. The re ad out is per fo rm ed via
th e legally prescribed port fo r OBD ("on-board
diagnostics") in th e ve hicle. The re spective
service network locations or th ird parties col‐
lect, process and use th e data. They document
te ch nical st atuses of th e ve hicle, assist in fi nd ‐
i
ng malfunctions and impr ov ing qu ality and are
transmit te d to th e manufacturer, if necessar y.
Fu rt hermore, th e manufacturer is subject to
product liability. Fo r th is, th e manufacturer
re qu ires te ch nical da ta from ve hicles.
Malfunction memories in th e ve hicle can be
re set by a service outlet as part of re pair or
maintenance wo rk .
They can enter data into th e ve hicle's con ve ni‐
ence and inf ot ainment functions th emselves as
part of th e selected equipment.
This includes, fo r ex ample: R
multimedia data such as music, fi lms or pho‐
to s fo r playba ck in an integrated multimedia
sy st em R
address book data fo r use in connection with
an integrated hands-free sy st em or an inte‐
grated navigation sy st em R
entered navigation destinations R
data about th e use of Internet services
This data can be st ored locally in th e ve hicle or
is located on a device which yo u ha ve connected
to th e ve hicle. If th is data is st ored in th e ve hi‐
cle, yo u can dele te it at any time. This data can
only be transmit te d to th ird parties upon yo ur
re qu est with particular re ga rd to th e scope of

Event Data Re corders
This ve hicle is equipped with an ev ent data
re corder (EDR). The main pu rp ose of an EDR is
to re cord, in cer ta in crash or near crash-like sit‐
uations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a ro ad obs ta cle, da ta th at will assist in under‐
st anding how a ve hicle's sy st ems per fo rm ed.
The EDR is designed to re cord da ta re lated to
ve hicle dynamics and saf et y sy st ems fo r a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in th is ve hicle is designed to re cord
su ch data as:R
How va ri ous sy st ems in yo ur ve hicle we re
operating R
Whe th er or not th e driver and front
passenger seat belts we re buckled/fas te nedR
How fa r (if at all) th e driver wa s depressing
th e accelera to r and/or brake pedal andR
How fast th e ve hicle wa s tr av eling. This data can help pr ov ide a better under st and‐
ing of th e circums ta nces in which accidents and
inju ri es occur. NOTE: EDR data is re corded by
yo ur ve hicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data is re corded by th e EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, ge nde r, age and crash location) is
re corded. Ho we ve r, ot her parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine th e EDR data with
th e type of personally identifying data ro utinely
acquired during a crash in ve st igation.
Ac cess to th e ve hicle and/or th e ED R is needed
to re ad data th at is re corded by an EDR, and
special equipment is requ ired. In addition to th e
ve hicle manufacturer, ot her parties th at ha ve th e
special equipment, such as law enforcement,
can re ad th e information by accessing th e ve hi‐
cle or th e EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat‐
te rs as a to ol in accident re construction, acci‐
dent claims and ve hicle saf et y. Since th e Crash
Data Re trie va l (CDR) to ol th at is used to ex tract
da ta from th e EDR is commercially av ailable,
Mercedes-Benz US A, LLC ("MBUSA") ex pressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from th e ex traction of th is information by unauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data wit h ot hers with‐
out th e consent of th e ve hicle ow ner or, if th e
ve hicle is leased, without th e consent of th e les‐
see. Exceptions to th is re presentation include
re sponses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by
fe deral, st ate or local go ve rn ment; in connection
with or arising out of litigation in vo lvin g MBUSA
or its subsidia ri es and af fi liates; or, as re qu ired
by la w.
Wa rn ing: th e EDR is a component of th e
Re st ra int Sy st em Module. Ta mp ering with, alter‐
ing, modifying or re moving th e EDR component
may re sult in a malfunction of th e Re st ra in t Sys‐
te m Module and ot her sy st ems.
St ate la ws or re gulations re ga rd ing EDRs th at
con fl ict with fe deral re gulation are pre-em pte d.
This means th at in th e eve nt of su ch conflict, th e
fe deral re gulation go ve rn s. As of Fe bruary 20 13 ,
