The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
RHow various systems in your vehicle were
operating
RWhether or not the driver and front passenger
seat belts were buckled/fastened
RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal and
RHow fast thevehicle was traveling
This data can help provide a better understanding
of the circumstances in which accidents 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.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required, and access to thevehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manu-
facturer, other parties that have the special equip-
ment, such as law enforcement, can read the
information by accessing thevehicle 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 thevehicle 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 aliates; or, as required by
law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of theRestraint
System Module. Tampering with, altering, modify-
ing or removing the EDR component may result in
a malfunction of theRestraint System Module and
other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conict with federal regulation are pre-empted.
This means that in theevent of such conict, the
federal regulation governs. As of December 2016,
17 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
