Data stored in the vehicle27
Introduction
Z

The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser-
vice network (including the manufacturer) using
special diagnostic testers. More detailed infor-
mation is obtained from it, if required.
Afteramalfunction 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, under
consultation with an authorized expert), could
be traced to aperson.
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.
COMAND/mbrace (Canada: TELEAID)
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND or
mbrace, additional data about the vehicle's
operation, the use of the vehicle in certain sit-
uations, and the location of the vehicle may be
compiled through COMAND or the mbrace sys-
tem.
For additional information please refer to the
COMAND User Manual or the Digital Operator's Manual and/or the mbrace Terms and Condi-
tions.
Event datar ecorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDRistor ecord, in certain crash or near
crash-lik esituations, such as an air bag deploy-
ment or hittin garoad obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how avehicle's systems
performed. The ED Risdesigned to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for ashort period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The ED
Rinthis vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
RHow various systems in your vehicle were
operating
RWhether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened
RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and
RHow fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide abetter under-
standin gofthe circumstances in which acci-
dents and injuries occur. NOTE: ED Rdata are
recorded by your vehicle only if anon-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by
the ED Runder normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and acci-
dent location) are recorded. However, other par- ties, such as law enforcement could combine
ED Rd ata with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during acrash investi-
gation.
Access to the vehicle and/or the ED Risneeded
to read data that is recorded by the EDR, and
special equipment is required. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have
the special equipment, such as law enforce-
ment,c an read the information by accessing the
vehicle or the EDR.
ED Rd ata may be used in civil and criminal mat-
ters as atool in accident reconstruction, acci-
dent claims and vehicle safety. Sincet he Crash
Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract
data from the ED Riscommercially available,
Mercedes-Benz USA,L LC ("MBUSA") expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
extraction of this information by unauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share ED Rdata with others
without the consen tofthevehicle owners or, if
t

he vehicle is leased, without the consen tofthe
lessee. Exceptions to this representation
include responses to subpoenas by law enforce- ment;byf ederal, 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 ED Risacomponent of the
Restraint System Module. Tampering with, alter-
ing, modifying or removing the ED Rcomponent
may result in amalfunction of the Restraint Sys-
tem Module and other systems.
Statel aws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted.

deployed air bags replaced and faulty air bags
repaired. This will help to make sure the air bags
continue to performtheir protective function for
the vehicle occupants in the event of acrash.
GWARNING
Emergenc yTensioning Devices that have
deployed pyrotechnically are no longer opera-
tional and are unable to performt heir inten-
ded protective function .This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have pyrotechnically triggered Emergency
Tensioning Devices replaced immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop.
An electric moto risused by PRE-SAFE
®to trig-
ger the tightenin gofthe seat belt in hazardous
situations. This procedure is reversible.
If Emergenc yTensioning Devices are triggered
or air bags are deployed, you will hear abang,
and asmall amount of powder may also be
released. The 6restraint system warning
lamp lights up.
Only in rare cases will the bang affect your hear-
ing. The powder that is released generally does
not constitute ahealth hazard, but it may cause
short-term breathin gdifficulties in people with
asthma or other respiratory problems. Provided
it is safe to do so, you should leave the vehicle
immediately or open the window in order to pre-
vent breathin gdifficulties.
Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergenc yTensioning
Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate material,
which may require special handling and regard
for the environment. National guidelines must
be observed during disposal. In California, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/
Perchlorate/index.cfm .
Method of operation
Duringthe first stage of acollision, the restraint
system control unit evaluates important physi-
cal data relatin gtovehicle deceleration or accel-
eration ,such as:
Rduration
Rdirection
Rintensity
Based on the evaluation of this data, the
restraint system control unit triggers the Emer-
genc yTensioning Devices during afrontal or
rear collision. An Emergenc
yTensioning Devic ecan only be
triggered, if:
Rthe ignition is switched on
Rthe component softhe restraint system are
operational. You can find further information
under: "Restraint system warning lamp"
(
Ypage 37)
Rthe belt tongue has engaged in the belt buckle
of the respective seat
If the restraint system control unit detects a
more severe accident, further component sof
the restraint system are activated independ-
ently of each other in certain frontal collision
situations:
RFronta ir bags as well as driver'sa nd front-
passenger knee bags
The front-passenger fronta ir bag is activated or
deactivated dependin gonthe person on the
front-passenger seat. The front-passenger front
air bag can only deploy in an accidentift he
PASSENGER AIR BAGONi ndicator lamp is lit.
Observe the information on the PASSENGER AIR
BAGi ndicator lamps (
Ypage 38).
Your vehicle has two-stage fronta ir bags. During
the first deployment stage, the fronta ir bag is
filled with propellant gas to reduce the risk of
injuries. The fronta ir bag is fully deployed with
the maximum amount of propellant gas if asec-
ond deployment threshold is reached within a
few milliseconds.
The activation threshold of the Emergenc yTen-
sionin gDevices and the air bag are determined
by evaluating the rate of vehicle deceleration or
acceleration which occurs at various point sin
the vehicle. This processisp re-emptive in
nature. Deploymen tshould take place in good
time at the start of the collision.
The rat

e of vehicle deceleration or acceleration
and the direction of the forcea re essentially
determined by:
Rthe distribution of forces during the collision
Rthe collision angle
Rthe deformation characteristic softhe vehicle
Rthe characteristic softhe objec twith which
the vehicle has collided
Factors which can only be seen and measured
after acollision has occurred do not play adeci-
sive role in the deployment of an air bag. Nor do
they provide an indication of air bag deploy-
ment.
The vehicle can be deformed considerably, with-
out an air bag being deployed. This is the case if
