Use of the traffic light information service
requires the regular transmission of vehicle
positions and driving directions to Mercedes-

Mercedes-Benz and forwarded to the provider
of the traffic light information service. The
vehicle positions and driving directions are
deleted after a very short time (a few sec-
onds) and are not permanently saved.
If you do not want to transmit the vehicle
positions and driving directions, you have the
following options:

R
Mercedes me portal.
You have the service deactivated at an
