RMalfunctions and defects in important sys‐
te m components. Forex ample, lights,
brakes.
RVe hicle reactions and operating conditions in
special driving situations. Forex ample, air
bag deployment, inter vention of stability con‐
trol sy stems.
RAmbient conditions. Forex ample, outside
te mp erature.
This data is of an exclusively tech nical natu re
and can be used to:
RAssist in detecting and rectifying malfunc‐
tions and defects.
RAnalyze vehicle functions, e.g. af ter an acci‐
dent.
ROptimize vehicle functions.
The data cannot be used totrace theve hicle's
mo vements.
When your vehicle is serviced, tech nical informa‐
tion can be read from theeve nt da tamemory
and malfunction data memor y.Services include,
forex ample:
RRe pair services
RService processes
RWa rranty cases
The vehicle is read out byemplo yees of the
service network (including the manufacturer)
using special diagnostic devices. You can obtain
more information there, if requ ired.
Af ter a malfunction has been rectified, the infor‐
mation is dele ted from the malfunction memory
or is continually overwritten.
When operating theve hicle, situations are con‐
ceivable in which this tech nical da ta, in connec‐
tion with other information (if necessar y,afte r
consultation wi than authorized expert), could be
traced toa person.
Examples include:

tractually agreed upon with the cus tomer all ow cer
tain vehicle data tobe con veye dby theve hi‐
cle as well. The additional functions include, for
ex ample, vehicle location in case of an emer‐
ge ncy.
COMAND/mbrace
If th eve hicle is equipped with COMAND or
mbrace, additional data about theve hicle's oper‐
ation, the use of theve hicle in cer tain situations,
and the location of theve hicle may be compiled
th ro ugh COMAND or the mbrace sy stem.
Ad ditional information can be found in the multi‐
media sy stem section and/or the mbrace Term s
and Conditions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event da ta
re corder (EDR). The main purp ose of an EDR is
to record, in cer tain crash or near crash-like sit‐
uations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a ro ad obs tacle, data which will assist in under‐
st anding 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.

Information on PRE-SAFE®PLUS (anticipa‐
to ry occupant pr otection plus)
PRE- SAFE®PLUS can de tect cer tain impacts,
particular lyan imminent rear impact, and take
pre-em ptive measures toprotect theve hicle
occupants. These measures cannot necessarily
pr eve nt an imminent impact.
PRE-SAFE
®PLUS can implement thefo llowing
measures independently of each other:
RTightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
and front passenger seat.
RInc reasing brake pressure when theve hicle
is stationar y.This brake application is can‐
celed automatically when theve hicle pulls
aw ay.
If an accident did not occur, the pre-em ptive
measures that we retake n are reve rsed.
PRE-SAFE
®PLUS sy stem limitationsRNo me asures are implemented:
-Ifth eve hicle is backing up.
RThe brakes are not applied:
-Whilst driving. or
-When entering or
exiting a parking space
using Parking Pilot.

WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due tochildren left unatte nded inthe
ve hicle
If yo u lea vechildren unaccompanied in the
ve hicle, they may be able toset theve hicle in
motion, forex ample by:
RRe leasing the parking brake.
RShifting the transmission out of park
position j.
RStarting the engine.
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip‐
ment.
#Ne ver lea vechildren and animals unat‐
te nded in theve hicle.
#When leaving theve hicle, alw aysta ke

WARNING Risk offata l injury due to
ex posure toextreme heat or cold in the
ve hicle
If people – particularly children – are
ex posed toextreme heat or cold over an
ex tended pe riod of time, there is a risk of
injury or evenfa ta l injur y.
#Never lea veanyone – pa rticularly chil‐
dren – unatte nded intheve hicle.

WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP®is
malfunctioning
If ESP

#Drive on carefull y.
#Have ESP®checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.

deactivated
If yo u deactivate ESP
®, ESP®cannot car ry
out vehicle stabilization.
#ESP®should only be deactivated in the
fo llowing situations.
ESP®monitors and impr oves driving stability and
traction, particular ly inthefo llowing situations:
RWhen pulling away on wet or slippe ryroads.
RWhen braking.
RIn stro ng sidewinds when you are driving
fast erthan 50 mph (80 km/h).
ESP
®can stabilize theve hicle byinter vening in
th efo llowing ways:
ROne or more wheels are braked.
RThe engine output is adap ted according to
th e situation.
ESP
®is deactivated if the ESP®OFF å warn‐
ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrument
clus ter:
RDriving stability will no longe r be improved.
RCrosswind Assist is no longer active.
RThe drive wheels could spin.
RETS/4ETS traction control is still active.

Speed control cruise control
Function of cruise control
Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hi‐
cle automatically in order tomaintain a pr evi‐
ously stored speed.
If yo u accelerate toove rtake, forex ample, the
st ored speed is not dele ted. If youre mo veyour
fo ot from the accelerator pedal af terove rtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to thestored speed.
Yo u can operate cruise cont rol with the cruise
control le ver.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident
nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take
into account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible fo
rth e dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hi‐
cle speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ‐
ing in lane.
Sy stem limitations
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lo werge ar in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular
no te ofthis when driving a laden vehicle. By
doing so, youwill make use of the braking ef fect
of the engine. This relie vesth e load on the brake
sy stem and pr events the brakes from overheat‐
ing and
wearin
g tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
RIn traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads
ROn slippery roads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid
RWhen visibility is poor

Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC:
RMaintains the set speed and accelerates or
decelerates theve hicle if the dis tance from
th eve hicle in front permits.
RAssists youin main taining the dis tance from
th eve hicle in front and can bring your vehi‐

RBrakesyour vehicle with up to50 % of the
maximum possible braking po wer.If greater
decelera tion performance is requ ired, a vis‐
ual and acoustic warning is given and you
must then inter vene yourself.
RVe hicles with Driving Assistance Pack‐
age, Parking Pilot and COMAND: When
driving in stop-s tart traf fic, the driver is sup‐
por tedby an extended, au tomatic restart in
