! Follow the instructions in this manual

Data stored in the vehicle
Fault data
Components which are critical for vehicle
operation are equipped with fault data mem-
ories as standard. There are also data storage
devices which record how vehicle compo-
nents have reacted in certain driving situa-
tions (e.g. airbag deployment or ESP
vention).
This data is used exclusively to:
assist in the rectification of faults and
R
defects
help Mercedes-Benz optimise and develop
R
vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced by Mercedes-
Benz, this technical information can be read
out from the fault memory. This is performed
by authorised employees of the Mercedes-
Benz service network using special diagnos-
tic computers.
After a fault has been rectified, the informa-
tion is deleted from the memory. Other mem-
ory data is constantly overwritten.
Other devices that store data
Depending on the equipment level, your vehi-
cle may feature communications and/or
entertainment systems (e.g. navigation devi-
ces, telephone systems). These allow you to
save and edit data required for the operation
of the respective device.
Further information on operation (e.g. on
deleting data) can be found in the separate
operating instructions.
