Event data recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or crash-like situations
such as an air bag deployment or collision with a
road obstacle, data that will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle' s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safe ty systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data
such as:
> How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
> Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were fastened.
> How far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
> How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR un der normal driving con-
ditions and no personal data, e. g., name, gen-
der, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, could combine the EDR data with the type
of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
Reading the data recorded by an EDR requires
special equipment and access to the vehicle or
the EDR. In addition to the vehicle manufac-
turer, other parties that have the special equip-
ment such as law enforcement, can read the
information if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.
Reporting safety defects

Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. Equipment is also described
that is not available because of, for example,
selected options or count ry version. This also
applies to safety related functions and systems.
The concept
> By using the voice activation system, most of
the functions that are displayed on the Con-
trol Display can be operated via voice com-
mands. The system supports the entry pro-
cess by means of announcements.
> Functions that can only be used while the
vehicle is not moving cannot be operated via
the voice activation system.
> The system includes a special microphone in
the roofliner on the driver's side.
Prerequisite
So that voice commands can be identified, set a
language on the Control Display that is sup-
ported by the voice activation system.
To set the language, see page 69.

Possible commands
Most menu items on the Control Display can be
spoken as commands.
The commands that are possible depend upon
which menu is currently shown on the Control
Display.
There are short commands for many functions.
Some list items, for example telephone book
listings, can also be selected using the voice acti-
vation system. In particular, say the list items
exactly as they are displayed in the respective
list.
Having the possible commands read
aloud
Having the possible co mmands read aloud:
For example if you have selected "CD" the sys-
tem will read aloud the possible commands for
operating the CD player.
Carrying out functions through short
commands
Main menu functions can be executed immedi-
ately by short commands , almost regardless of
which menu item is selected, e.g., {Vehicle sta-
tus }.
List of voice activation system short commands,
see page 252.

Notes
For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:
> Do not use the voice activation system to ini-
tiate an emergency call. In stressful situa-
tions, the voice and vocal pitch can change.
This can unnecessarily delay the establish-
ment of a telephone connection.
> Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at norm al volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. The same
applies to spelling wh en entering a destina-
tion for navigation.
> Always speak the commands in the lan-
guage of the voice activation system.
> When selecting a radio station, use the stan-
dard pronunciation of the station name
{ Select station } e.g. WPLJ >
Keep the doors, windows and glass roof
closed to prevent interference from outside
noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
