General notes
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were
R
operating;
Whether or not the driver and front passenger
R
seat belts were buckled/fastened
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
R
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
R
This data can help provide a better understanding
of the circumstances in which crashes and inju-
ries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driv-
ing conditions and no personal data (e.g. name,
gender, age and accident location) is recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine EDR data with the type of person-
ally identifying data routinely acquired during a
crash investigation.
Access to the vehicle and/or the EDR is needed
to read data that is recorded by the EDR, and spe-
cial equipment is required. In addition to the vehi-
cle manufacturer, other parties that have the spe-
cial equipment, such as law enforcement, can
read the information by accessing 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 owner 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 a liates; 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
con ict with federal regulation are pre-empted.
This means that in the event of such con ict, the
federal regulation governs. As of December 2016,
17 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
