Mercedes-Benztests genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts, conversion parts and accessories that
have been specifically approved for the type of
vehicle for:
Rreliability
Rsafety
Rsuitability
Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to assess other parts. Even if an
independent or official approval has been pro-
vided in exceptional cases, Mercedes-Benz
accepts no responsibility for the use of such
parts in Mercedes-Benzv ehicles.
In some countries, certain parts are only offi-
cially approved for installation or modification if
they comply with legal requirements. All genu-
ine Mercedes-Benzp arts satisfy these require-
ments .Make sure that all parts are suitable for
your vehicle.
Always specify the vehicle identification number
(VIN) (
Ypage 294) and engine number when
ordering genuine Mercedes-Benzp arts
(
Ypage 295).
QR code for rescue card
The QR Code stickers are affixed to the B-pillar
on the driver's and front-passenger side.
In the event of an accident the rescue services
use the QR Code to quickly find the rescue card
for your vehicle. The current rescue card con-
tains the most important information on your
vehicle, e.g. the electric cable routes, in acom-
pact form.
Further information can be found under http://
portal.aftersales.i.daimler.com.
Data stored in the vehicle
Data Recording
Aw ide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
Rthe vehicle's operating state
Revents
Rfaults In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of
acomponent, amodule, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
Roperating conditionsofs ystem components,
e.g. fluid levels
Rthe vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, deceleration in move-
ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position
Rmalfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditionsi n
special driving situations, e.g. airbag deploy-
ment, intervention of stability control sys-
tems
Rambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
Rassist in detectin gand rectifying faults and
defects
Ranalyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
Roptimize vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-
mation can be read from the event data memory
and fault data memory.
Services include, for example:
Rrepair services
Rservice processes
Rwarranty events
Rquality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser- vice network (including the manufacturer) using
special diagnostic testers .You can obtain more
information there, if required.
After afault has been rectified, the information
is deleted from the fault memory or is continu-
ally overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are con-
ceivable in which this technical data, in connec-
tion with other information (if necessary, after
consultation with an authorized expert), could
be traced to aperson.
