Take-back of end-of-life vehicles
EU COUNTRIES ONLY:
Mercedes-Benz will take back your end-of-life vehicle for environment-friendly
disposal in accordance with the European Union (EU) End-Of-Life Vehicles
Directive.
A network of vehicle take-back points and dismantlers has been established
for you to return your vehicle. You can leave it at any of these points free of
charge. This makes an important contribution to closing the recycling circle
and conserving resources.
For further information about the recycling and disposal of end-of-life vehi‐
cles, and the take-back conditions, please visit the national Mercedes-Benz
website for your country.

approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-critical systems (e.g. the brake system)
may malfunction. Use only Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts or parts of equal
quality. Use only tyres, wheels and accessory parts that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz tests original parts, as well as conversion parts and accessory
parts that have been specifically approved for your vehicle model for their
reliability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to assess alternative parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts
no responsibility for the use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even
if they have been officially approved or independently approved by a testing
centre.
Certain parts are only officially approved for installation or modification if
they comply with legal specifications. All Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts meet
approval requirements. The use of non-approved parts may invalidate the
vehicle's operating permit.

fied specialist workshop.
or
#
If driving safety is impaired while continuing your journey, pull
over and stop the vehicle immediately, with due attention to
road and traffic conditions, and contact a qualified specialist
workshop.
Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The energy supply for the electric
motor comes from the high-voltage on-board electrical system.
&
DANGER
Risk of death and fire due to modified and/or damaged compo‐
nents of the high-voltage on-board electrical system
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system is under high
voltage. If you modify component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage on-
board electrical system or touch damaged component parts, you may
be electrocuted. In addition, modified and/or damaged components
may cause a fire.
In the event of an accident or impact to the underbody, components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical system may be damaged although
the damage is not visible.
#
Never make any modifications to the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
#
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its high-voltage on-
board electrical system components have been modified or
damaged.
#
Never touch damaged components of the high-voltage on-
board electrical system.
#
After an accident, do not touch any components of the high-
voltage on-board electrical system.

The components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked
with yellow warning stickers. The cables of the high-voltage on-board electri‐
cal system are orange.
Example
High-voltage components that can become very hot are marked with a sepa‐
rate warning sticker:
Vehicles with an electric motor generate significantly less vehicle noise emis‐
sions than vehicles with combustion engines.
This means that other road users may fail to hear the vehicle owing to its
significantly lower driving noise.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equipped with a sound generator, which
serves as an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This protective measure
is prescribed by law.
This exterior noise by the sound generator (AVAS) is audible in the vehicle
interior at low speeds, and is not a malfunction.

Data processing in the vehicle
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS
Electronic control units are fitted in your vehicle. Control units process data
they receive, generate themselves or exchange with each other, forexample
from vehicle sensors. Some control units are required for the safe operation of
your vehicle. Some assist you when driving, suchas driver assistance systems,
while others enable convenience or infotainment functions.
The following section provides general information about data processing in
the vehicle. Additional information regarding which vehicle data is collected,
saved and transmitted to third parties and for what purpose can be found in
the information directly related to the relevant functional characteristics in the
respective Owner's Manual. This information is available online and digitally,
depending on the vehicle's equipment.
PERSONAL DATA
A unique vehicle identification number identifies every vehicle. Depending on
the country, this vehicle identification number can also be used to determine
the identity of the vehicle keeper, forexample by the authorities. There are also
other ways of tracing data collected from the vehicle back to the keeper or
driver, suchas the licence plate number.
The data generated or processed by control units may therefore be attributa‐
ble to a person or, in certain circumstances, become attributable to a person.
Depending on which vehicle data is available, it may be possible to make
inferences about, forexample, your driving behaviour, location, route or use
patterns.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE DISCLOSURE OF DATA
If legally required to do so, manufacturers are generally obliged to provide
the authorities with data stored by the manufacturer upon request and to the
extent required. Forexample, this may be the case during the investigation of a
criminal offence.
State authorities are themselves authorised to read out data from the vehicle
in individual cases and within the applicable legal framework. In the case of an
accident, information that can help with an investigation can be taken from the
airbag control unit, forexample.
OPERATIONAL DATA IN THE VEHICLE
To operate the vehicle, control units process data.
THIS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING DATA, FOREXAMPLE:
R
Vehicle status information suchas the speed, longitudinal acceleration,
lateral acceleration, number of wheel revolutions or the fastened seat
belts display
R
Ambient conditions, suchas temperature, rain sensor or distance sensor
Generally, this data is volatile and will not be stored beyond the period of
operation and will only be processed within the vehicle itself. Control units,
forexample, vehicle keys, often contain data memories. Their use permits the
temporary or permanent documentation of technical information about the
vehicle's operating state, component loads, maintenance requirements and
technical events or faults.

DEPENDING ON THE TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT, THE FOLLOWING DATA IS
STORED:
R
Operating status of system components, suchas fill levels, tyre pressure
or battery status
R
Malfunctions or faults in important system components, suchas lights or
brakes
R
System reactions in special driving situations, suchas an airbag deploy‐
ment or the intervention of stability control systems
R
Information on events leading to vehicle damage
R
State of charge of the high-voltage battery, estimated range
In certain cases, storing data that would have otherwise been temporary may
be required. This may be the case if the vehicle has detected a malfunction,
forexample.
If you make use of services, e.g. repair services or maintenance work,– the
stored operating data can be read out and used together with the vehicle
identification number – if necessary.
Service network employees suchas workshops and manufacturers, and third
parties suchas breakdown services can read out the data. The same is true in
the event of warranty claims and quality assurance measures.
In general, the readout is performed via the legally prescribed port for the
diagnostics connection in the vehicle. The selected operating data document
the vehicle's or individual components' technical conditions, help with fault
diagnosis, compliance with warranty obligations and quality improvement.
To that end, these data, particularly information about component loads,
technical events, malfunctions and other faults, may be transmitted to the
manufacturer along with the vehicle identification number. Furthermore, the
manufacturer is subject to product liability. For this reason, the manufacturer
also uses operational data from the vehicle, e.g. for recalls. This data can also
be used to review the customer's warranty and guarantee claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service outlet or at your
request as part of repair or maintenance work.
CONVENIENCE AND INFOTAINMENT FUNCTIONS
You can store the vehicle's convenience and individual settings and change or
reset them at any time.
DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT, THIS INCLUDES THE FOLLOW‐
ING SETTINGS, FOREXAMPLE:
R
Seat and steering wheel positions
R
Suspension tuning and climate control settings
R
Individual settings, suchas interior lighting
Depending on the selected equipment, you can import data into vehicle info‐
tainment functions yourself.
DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT, THIS INCLUDES THE FOLLOW‐
ING DATA, FOREXAMPLE:
R
Multimedia data, suchas music, films or photos for playback in an inte‐
grated multimedia system
R
Address book data for use in connection with an integrated hands-free
system or an integrated navigation system
R
Entered navigation destinations
R
Data about the use of Internet services
This data for convenience and infotainment functions may be saved locally in
the vehicle or on a device connected to the vehicle, suchas a smartphone,

USB flash drive or MP3 player. If you have entered this data yourself, you can
delete it at any time.
This data is transmitted only from the vehicle to third parties at your request.
This applies in particular for the use of online services based on the settings
you have selected yourself.
SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION (E.G. ANDROID AUTO OR APPLE CARPLAY
®
)
If your vehicle is equipped accordingly, you can connect your smartphone or
another mobile end device to the vehicle. You can then control them using
the control elements integrated into the vehicle. Images and audio from the
smartphone can be output via the multimedia system. Certain information
is simultaneously transferred to your smartphone. Depending on the type
of integration, thisincludes position data, day/night mode and other general
vehicle states. For more information, please consult the vehicle Owner's Man‐
ual/infotainment system.
This integration allows the use of selected smartphone apps, suchas naviga‐
tion or music player apps. There is no further interaction between the smart‐
phone and the vehicle; in particular, vehicle data is not directly accessible. The
type of additional data processing is determined by the provider of the app
being used. The settings you can make, if any, depend on the specific app and
your smartphone's operating system.
Online services
WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection, it enables data to be
exchanged between your vehicle and additional systems. The wireless network
connection is made possible by the vehicle's own transmitter and receiver or
by a mobile end device that you have brought into the vehicle, forexample,
a smartphone. Online functions can be used via the wireless network connec‐
tion. This includes online services and applications/apps provided to you by
the manufacturer or by other providers.
MANUFACTURER'S SERVICES
Regarding the manufacturer's online services, the individual functions are
described by the manufacturer in a suitable place, forexample, in the Owner's
Manual or on the manufacturer's website, where the relevant data protection
information is also given. Personal data may be used for the provision of
online services. Data are exchanged via a secure connection, suchas the man‐
ufacturer's designated IT systems. Any personal data which are collected,
processed and used, other than for the provision of services, is done so
exclusively on the basis of legal permission. This is the case, forexample, for
a legally prescribed emergency call system, a contractual agreement or when
consent has been given.
You can have services and functions, some of which are subject to a fee, acti‐
vated or deactivated. This excludes legally prescribed functions and services,
suchas an emergency call system.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES
If you use online services from other providers (third parties), these services
are the responsibility of the provider in question and subject to that provider's
data protection conditions and terms of use. As a general rule, the manufac‐
turer has no influence on the content exchanged.
For this reason, when services are provided by third parties, please ask the
service provider in question for information about the type, extent and pur‐
pose of the collection and use of personal data.
Data protection rights
Depending on your country or the equipment and range of functions of your
vehicle as well as the services you use and the services on offer, you are enti‐
tled to different data protection rights. Further information on data protection
and your data protection rights can either be found on the manufacturer's
website or you will receive this information as part of the various services
