Use of the traffic light information service
requires the regular transmission of vehicle
positions and driving directions to Mercedes-
Benz. The data is immediately anonymized by
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:
You deactivate the service in the
R
Mercedes me portal.
You have the service deactivated at an
R
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
You deactivate the service in the
R
tance menu in the multimedia system
( page 208).

This traffic light information service is only

ditions:

R
tem featuring navigation and a communication
module with an activated, integrated SIM card.

The traffic light data service belongs to the
R
scope of the navigation services.
The current vehicle position and the direction of
travel are transmitted via the communication
module and aligned with the data from the traffic
light data service provider. The provider gathers
Assis- data from traffic lights which transmit their chang-
ing phases. When the vehicle approaches an inter-
section with networked traffic lights, data is trans-
mitted to the vehicle.
A set turn signal left or right and lane recommen-
dations during active route guidance are taken
into account for the display.
The service is for information purposes only and is
not linked to any other vehicle functions, systems
or components. Please note that the displayed
data is not available in all traffic areas and may be
incorrect.
Certain light signal systems automatically adapt
their switching times to the current traffic situa-
tion. This can lead to a sudden change in the
countdown display.
The information in the Instrument Display is
shown after selecting the display contents in the
Assistance menu. If another menu is selected, the
traffic light countdown is not displayed.
