Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle's systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less.
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 passenger
R
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
R
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
R
These data can help provide a better unders-
tanding of the circumstances in which cras-
hes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; not data are recorded
by the EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name, gender,
age, and crash location) are recorded. Howe-
ver, other parties, such as law enforcement
could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
Access to the vehicle and/or the EDR is nee-
ded to read data that is recorded by an EDR,
and special equipment is required. In addition
to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
that have the special 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
matters 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
without the consent of the vehicle owners or,
if the vehicle is leased, without the consent of
the lessee. Exceptions to this representation
include responses to subpoenas by law enfor-
cement; by federal, state or local govern-
ment; in connection with or arising out of liti-
gation involving MBUSA or its subsidiaries
and affiliates; or, as required by law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the Res-
traint System Module. Tampering with, alter-
ing, modifying or removing the EDR compo-
nent may result in a malfunction of the Res-
traint System Module and other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conflict with federal regulation are pre-emp-
ted. This means that in the event of such con-
flict, the federal regulation governs. As of
February 2013, 13 states have enacted laws
relating to EDRs.
