Operating safety
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their function and/or the function of other net­worked components. In particular, systems relevant to safety could also be affected. As a result, these may no longer function as inten­ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec­tronic components or their software. You should have all work to electrical and elec­tronic equipment carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec­tronics, the general operating permit is ren­dered invalid.
WARNING
G
If you operate information systems and com­munication equipment integrated in the vehi­cle while driving, you will be distracted from traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic situation permits. If you are not sure that this is possible, park the vehicle paying attention to traffic conditions and operate the equip­ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina­tion without taking account of the following, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and yield signs
R
merging lanes
R
parking or stopping in a no parking/no stopping zone
Introduction
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
narrow bridges
COMAND can give incorrect navigation com­mands if the actual street/traffic situation does not correspond with the digital map's data. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor all routes in an area. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a one­way street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg­ulations always have priority over the sys­tem's driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of con­sulting the map display for directions. Look­ing at the icons or map display can distract you from traffic conditions and driving, and increase the risk of an accident.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per second.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio fre­quency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supple­ment C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 8inches (20cm) and more between the radiator and a person's body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and legs.)

Roof antenna functionality (telephone, satel­lite radio, GPS) can be affected by the use of roof carrier systems.
Attaching metalized retrofit film to the wind­shield may affect radio reception and have a negative impact on all other antennas (e.g. emergency antenna) in the vehicle interior.
Protection against theft: this device is equipped with technical provisions to protect it against theft. Further information on pro­tection against theft can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Read the information on qualified specialist workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.
Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are restricted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion. You will notice this, for example, because either you will not be able to select certain menu items or a message will appear to this effect.
Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
This vehicle is capable of recording diagnostic information relating to vehicle operation, mal­functions, and user settings. This may include information about the performance or status of various systems, including but not limited to, engine, throttle, steering or brake sys­tems, that is stored and can be read out with suitable devices, particularly when the vehi-
Introduction

cle is serviced. The data obtained is used to properly diagnose and service your vehicle or to further optimize and develop vehicle func­tions.
COMAND/mbrace
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND or mbrace, additional data about the vehicle’s operation, the use of the vehicle in certain situations, and the location of the vehicle may be compiled through COMAND or the mbrace system.
For additional information please refer to the COMAND User Manual and/or the mbrace Terms and Conditions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record data that will assist in under­standing how a vehicle’s systems performed in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as during air bag deployment or when hitting a road obstacle. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
R
how various systems in your vehicle are operating
R
whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts are fastened
R
how far (if at all) the driver is depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and
R
how fast the vehicle is traveling
This data can help provide a better under­standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries 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 driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, can com­bine the EDR data with the type of personal identification data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi­cle or the EDR is needed. 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 enforcement; by federal, state or local gov­ernment; in connection with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the Sup­plemental Restraint System ("SRS") Module. Tampering with, altering, modifying or remov­ing the EDR component may result in a mal­function of the SRS Module and other sys­tems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that conflict with federal regulation are pre-emp­ted. This means that in the event of such con­flict, the federal regulation governs. As of February 2013, 13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
