Displaying Hazard Warnings; Sending Hazard Warnings - Mercedes-Benz GLE Series 2020 Operator's Manual

Benefits of Car-to-X-Communication:
Hazards are recognized automatically in the
R
background by the vehicle or may be repor‐
ted by the driver. These are then sent to vehi‐
cles with Car-to-X-Communication in the
immediate vicinity.
If available, current details relating to hazard
R
spots near the vehicle's current position are
received.
This gives you sufficient time to adapt your
driving style to the traffic conditions.
The use of Car-to-X-Communication requires the
regular transmission of vehicle data to Daimler
AG. The data is then immediately pseudony‐
mized by Daimler AG. The vehicle data is deleted
after an appropriate amount of time has elapsed
(several weeks) and is not stored permanently.
% Data which serves as identification is
replaced during the pseudonymization proc‐
ess. In this way, your identity is protected
against access by unauthorized third parties.
