that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become
involved in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or Mercedes-Benz USA
LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to
http://www.safercar.gov ; or write to:

other information about motor vehicle
safety from http://www.safercar.gov. Vehicle data recording
Data recording
This vehicle is capable of recording diag-
nostic information relating to vehicle
operation, malfunctions, and user set-
tings. This may include information about
the performance or status of various sys-
tems, including but not limited to, engine, throttle, steering or brake systems, that isstored and can be read out with suitable
devices, particularly when the vehicle is
serviced. The data obtained is used to
properly diagnose and service your vehi-
cle or to further optimize and develop
vehicle functions. 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 under- standing how a vehicle’s systems performed
in certain crash or near crash-like situa-
tions, such as during air bag deployment or when hitting a road obstacle. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
R how various systems in your vehicle are
operating
R whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts are fastened
R how far (if at all) the driver is depress-
ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal
and
R how fast the vehicle is traveling
This data can help provide a better under-
standing 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 with the type of personal identification
data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
that have the special 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
matters as a tool in accident reconstruc-
tion, accident 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 unau-
thorized 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 sub-
poenas by law enforcement; by federal, >> Introduction.

state or local government; in connection
with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates;
or, as required by law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the
Restraint System Module. Tampering with,
altering, modifying or removing the EDR
component may result in a malfunction of
the Restraint System Module and other sys- tems.
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 gov-
erns. As of February 2013, 13 states have
enacted laws relating to EDRs. QR code for the rescue card
The QR codes are secured in the charge
socket flap and on the opposite side on the
B-pillar. In the event of an accident, res-
cue services can use the QR code to quickly find the appropriate rescue card for your
vehicle. The current rescue card contains
the most important information about your
vehicle in a compact form, e.g. the routing of the electric cables.
