Whe noperating the vehicle, situations are con-
ceivable in which this technical data, in connec-

Even tdata recorders
Thi svehicl eise quipped with an event data
recorde r(EDR). Thi svehicl eise quipped with an
event data recorde r(EDR). The mai npurpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain cras hornear
crash-like situations, such as an ai rbag deploy-
ment or hitting aroado bstacle, data that will
assis tinunderstanding how avehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data
relate
dtovehicledynamics and safety systems
for ashort perio doftime,typicall y30seconds
or less.
The EDR in this vehicl eisdesigned to record
such data as:
RHow various systems in your vehicl ewere
operating
RWhether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened
RHow far (i fatall)t he driver wa sdepressing the
accelerato rand/or brake pedal and
RHow fas tthe vehicl ewastraveling.
These data can hel pprovid eabetterunder-
standing of the circumstances in which acci-
dents and injurie soccur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorde dbyyourv ehicl eonly if anon-trivial
cras hsituation occurs; no data is recorde dby
the EDR under normald riving conditions and no
personald ata(e.g. name ,gender, ag eand acci-
dent location) are recorded. However, othe rpar-
ties ,suc hasl awenforcement could combine
EDR data with the typ eofpersonal
l
yide ntifying
data routinel yacquired during acras hinvesti-
gation.
Access to the vehicl eand/or the EDR is needed
to rea ddatat hat is recorde dbythe EDR, and
specia lequipment is required .Inaddition to the
vehicl emanufacturer, othe rpartie sthat have
the specia lequipment, such as la wenforce-
ment, can rea dthe information by accessing the
vehicl eorthe EDR.
EDR data may be used in civi land crimina lmat-
ters as atool in accident reconstruction, acci-
dent claims and vehicl esafety .Since the Crash
Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract
data from the EDR is commerciall yavailable,
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC ("MBUSA")e xpressly
disclaims any and al lliabili ty arising from the
extraction of this information by unauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with others
withou tthe consent of the vehicl eowners or, if
the vehicl eislease d, withou tthe consent of the
lessee. Exceptions to this representation
includ eresponse stosubpoenasbyl awenforce-
ment; by federal, state or local government; in

Roof carrier
Important safety notes
GWARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving character-
istics change. If you exceed the maximum roof
load, the driving characteristics ,aswell as
steerin gand braking, will be greatly impaired.
There is arisk of an accident.
Never exceed the maximum roof load and
adjust your driving style.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
(
Ypage 349).
!Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to avoid damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such a
way that the vehicle will not sustain damage
even when it is in motion.
Dependin gonthe vehicle equipment, ensure
that when the roof carrier is installed you can:
Rraise the sliding sunroof/panorama roof
with power tilt/sliding panel fully
Ropen the trunk lid fully
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof
carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
Vehicles with apanorama roof with power
tilt/sliding panel: the panorama roof with
power tilt/sliding panel cannot be opened if a
roof carrier is installed. The panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel can still be raised to
allow ventilation of the vehicle interior.
If the panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel makes contact with aroof carrier
approved by Mercedes-Benz,t he sunroof will
lower slightly but remain raised at the rear.
