You can also obtain other information about
motor vehicle safety from
http://www.safercar.gov Limited Warranty
! Follow the instructions in this manual about
the proper operation of your vehicle as well as about possible vehicle damage. Damage to
your vehicle that arises from culpable contra- ventions against these instructions is not cov-
ered either by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty or by the New or Used-Vehicle War- ranty. QR codes for the rescue card
The QR codes are secured in the fuel filler flap
and on the opposite side on the B-pillar. In the
event of an accident, rescue services can use
the QR code to quickly find the appropriate res-
cue 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.
You can find more information under
www.mercedes-benz.de/qr-code. Data stored in the vehicle
Data storage
A wide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
R the vehicle's operating state
R incidents
R malfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R operating conditions of system components,
e.g. fluid levels
R the vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheelrevolutions/speed, deceleration in move- ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position
R malfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes
R vehicle reactions and operating conditions in
special driving situations, e.g. air bag deploy- ment, intervention of stability control sys-
tems
R ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R assist in recognizing and rectifying malfunc-
tions and defects
R analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
R optimize 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 malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
R repair services
R service processes
R warranties
R quality assurance
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.
After a malfunction 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 a person.
Examples include:
R accident reports
R damage to the vehicle
R witness 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. 28
