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.

This traffic light information service is only
available in certain cities and regions.
The function is supported under the following con-
ditions:

R
tem featuring navigation and a communication
module with an activated, integrated SIM card.
You have a user account for the Mercedes me
R
Portal.
The vehicle has been connected with the user
R
account.
The navigation services option is available,
R
subscribed to and activated in the Mercedes
me Portal.
The traffic light information service is within
R
the scope of the navigation service.
The current vehicle position and the direction of
travel are transmitted via the communication
module and aligned with the data from the traffic
light information service provider. The provider
gathers data from traffic lights which transmit
their changing phases. When the vehicle
approaches an inter-section with networked traffic
lights, data is transmitted to the vehicle.
