wo rkemplo yees or third parties. Services
include repair services, maintenance processes,

standing how a vehicle's sy stems per form ed.
The EDR is designed torecord data related to
ve hicle dynamics and saf etysy stems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed torecord
such data as:
RHowvarious sy stems in your vehicle were
operating
RWhe ther or not the driver and front
passenger seat belts werebuckled/fas tened
RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing
th e accelera tor and/or brake pedal and
RHow fast theve hicle was tr ave ling.
This data can help pr ovide a better under stand‐
ing of the circums tances in which accidents and
inju ries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by
yo ur vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data is recorded bythe EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gende r,age and crash location) is
re corded. Ho wever,ot her parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
th e type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash inve stigation. Ac
cess totheve hicle and/or the EDR is needed
to read data that is recorded byan EDR, and
special equipment is requ ired. In addition tothe
ve hicle manufacturer, other parties that ha vethe
special equipment, such as law enforcement,
can read the inf ormat
ion
byaccessing theve hi‐
cle or the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat‐
te rs as a tool in accident reconstruction, acci‐
dent claims and vehicle saf ety. Since the Crash
Data Retrie val (CDR) tool that is used toextract
da ta from the EDR is commercially available,
Mercedes-Benz US A,LLC ("MBUSA") expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
ex traction of this information byunauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with others with‐
out the consent of theve hicle owner or, if the
ve hicle is leased, without the consent of the les‐
see. Exceptions tothis representation include
re sponses tosubpoenas bylaw enforcement; by
fe deral, state or local go vernment; in connection
with or arising out of litigation in volvin g MBUSA
or its subsidiari es and affiliates; or, as requ ired
by law. Wa
rning: the EDR is a component of the
Re stra int Sy stem Module. Tamp ering with, alter‐
ing, modifying or removing the EDR component
may result in a malfunction of theRe stra int Sys‐
te m Module and other sy stems.
St ate la wsorregulations rega rding EDRs that
con flict with federal regulation are pre-em pted.
This means that in theeve nt of such conflict,the
