th e identity of theow ner. There are other possibili-

Therefore, data generated or processed bycont rol
units may be attributable toa person or, under cer-
ta in conditions, become attributable toa person.
Depending on which vehicle data are available, it
may be possible tomake inferences about, for

Go vernmental entities are themsel ves, in individual
cases and within the applicable legal frame work,

This is data rega rding the operation of theve hicle,
which ha vebeen processed bycont rol units.
This includes thefo llowing data, forex ample:
R vehicle status information such as the speed,
longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, number of wheel
revo lutions or thefa stened
seat belts display
R ambient conditions, su chastempe rature, rain
sensor or distance sensor
Generall y,these are volatile data and will not be
stored be yond the period of operation but will only
be processed within theve hicle itself. Control
units, vehicle keys forex ample, oTen contain data
memories. Their use permits thete mp orary or per-
manent documentation of tech nical information
about theve hicle's operating state, component
loads, maintenance requ irements and tech nical
ev ents or faults.
Depending on thete ch nical equipment, thefo llo w-
ing data are stored:
R operating status of system components, such
as /ll le vels, tyre pressure or battery status
R malfunctions or faults in impor tant system
components, such as lights or brakes
R system reactions in special driving situations,
such as airbag deployment or the inter vention
of stability control systems
R information on events in which theve hicle is
damaged
In cer tain cases, it may be requ ired tostore da ta
th at wo uld ha veotherwise been temp orar y.This
may be the case if theve hicle has de tected a mal-

If yo u use services, such as repair services and
maintenance work, stored operational data as well
as theve hicle identi/cation number can be read
out and used. They can be read out byservice net-
wo rkemplo yees, such as workshops and manufac-
turers or third parties, such as breakdown ser v-
ices. The same is true in the case of warranty
claims and quality assurance measures.
In general, there adout is per form ed via the legally
prescribed port forth e diagnostics connection in
th eve hicle. The operational data that are read out
document tech nical states of theve hicle or of indi-
vidual components and assist in the diagnosis of
malfunctions, compliance with warranty obliga-
tions and quality impr ovement. Tothat end, these
data, in particular information about component
loads, tech nical events, malfunctions and other
fa ults may be transmitted along with theve hicle
identi/cation number tothe manufacturer. In addi-
tion, the manufacturer is subject toproduct liabil-
ity. Forth is reason, the manufacturer also uses
operational data from theve hicle, forex ample, for 26 26

The activation
thre sholds forth e components of
th ere straint system are de term ined based on the
ev aluation of the sensor values measured at vari-
ous points in theve hicle. This process is pre-emp-
tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the
components of there straint system should take
place in good time at the start of the collision.
Fa ctors which can only be seen and measured
aTer a collision has occur red cannot play a deci-
sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they prov ide
an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed signi/cantly without
an airbag being deplo yed. This is the case if only
parts which are relatively easily deformed are
a.ec tedand thera te of vehicle deceleration is not
high. Con versely, an airbag may be deplo yedev en
th ough theve hicle su.ers only minor deformation.
If ve ry rigid vehicle parts, such as longitudinal
members, are hit, theve hicle deceleration may be
high enough forth is to happen.
Depending on the de tected deployment situation,
th e components of there straint system can be
activated or depl oyed independently of each other:
R Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear
impact, side impact1 )

, ro llo ver1)
R Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal
impact
R Side airbag: side impact
R Window airbag: side impact, overturning, roll-

or wind owairbag.
The co-driver airbag can only be deplo yed in the
ev ent of an accident if thePA SSENGER AIR BAG

occupied, make sure, bo thbefore and during the
journe y,that the status of the co-driver airbag is
cor rect (/ page 36). &
W WARNING
ARNING Risk of burns from hot airbag
components
The airbag parts are hot aTer an airbag has
been deplo yed. #
Do not touch the airbag parts. #
Have a deplo yed airbag replaced at a
qu ali/ed specialist workshop as soon as
possible. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you ha vethe

aTer an accident. Take this into account, particu- lar
lyif a seat belt tensioner is triggered or an air-
bag deplo yed.
If th e seat belt tensioners are triggered or an air-
bag is deplo yed, you will hear a bang, and a small
amount of powder may also be released:
R the bang will not generally a.ect your hearing.
R ingeneral, the powder released is not hazard-
ous tohealth but may cause short-term breath-
ing di1culties topersons su.ering from
asthma or other pulmonary conditions.
