tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand‐
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were
R
operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger
R
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
R
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
R
These data can help provide a better understand‐
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, age and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties such as law
enforcement could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
Access to the vehicle and/or the EDR is needed
to read data that is recorded by an EDR, and spe‐
cial equipment is required. In addition to the vehi‐
cle manufacturer, other parties that have the spe‐
cial equipment, such as law enforcement, can
read the information by accessing the vehicle or
the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat‐
ters as a tool in accident reconstruction, accident
claims and vehicle safety. Since the Crash Data
Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract data
from the EDR is commercially available, Daimler
Vans USA, LLC ("DVUSA") expressly disclaims
any and all liability arising from the extraction of
this information by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz
personnel.
DVUSA will not share EDR data with others with‐
out the consent of the vehicle owners or, if the
vehicle is leased, without the consent of the les‐
see. Exceptions to this representation include
responses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by
federal, state or local government; in connection
with or arising out of litigation involving DVUSA or
its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by
law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the
Restraint System Module. Tampering with, alter‐
ing, modifying or removing the EDR component
may result in a malfunction of the Restraint Sys‐
tem Module and other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted.
This means that in the event of such conflict, the
federal regulation governs. As of December 2016,
17 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
