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‐

or is continually overwritten.
When operating theve hicle, situations are con‐
ceivable in which this tech nical da ta, in connec‐

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.
General no tes 27

The EDR inthis vehicle is designed torecord
such data as:
RHowvarious sy stems in your vehicle were
operating;
RWhe ther or not the driver and passenger
saf etybelt swe rebuckled/fas tened;
RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing
th e accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
RHow fasttheve 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 accident location) is
re corded. Ho wever,ot her parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine EDR data with the
type of pe rsonally 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 bythe 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 information 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
D

ata 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 personne l.
MBUSA willnot share EDR data withot hers 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 volving MBU SA
or its subsidiaries and af filiates; or, as required
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
