General notes
(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.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu-
facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to 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,
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC („MBUSA") expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
extraction of this information by unauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA 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 MBUSA or
its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by
law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the Restraint
System Module. Tampering with, altering, modify-
ing or removing the EDR component may result in
a malfunction of the Restraint System 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 Dec 2016, 17
states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
