WARNING Risk of distraction from infor-
mation systems and communications
equipment
If you operate information systems and com-
munication devices integrated in the vehicle
when driving, you could be distracted from the

Only operate this equipment when the
trac situation permits.
#
If you cannot be sure of this, stop the
vehicle whilst paying attention to road
and trac conditions and operate the
equipment with the vehicle stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system.

▌Notes on route guidance
&
WARNING Risk of distraction from operat-
ing integrated communication equipment
while the vehicle is in motion
If you operate communication equipment inte-
grated in the vehicle when driving, you could
be distracted from the trac situation. This
could also cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.
#
Only operate this equipment when the
trac situation permits.
#
If you cannot be sure of this, stop the
vehicle whilst paying attention to road
and trac conditions and operate the
equipment with the vehicle stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system.
Route guidance begins once a route has been cal-
culated. The road and trac rules and regulations
always have priority over multimedia system driv-
ing instructions. Driving instructions are, for
example navigation announcements, changes in
direction and lane recommendations.
Changes in direction and lane recommendations
are shown in the navigation window.
The following displays and functions are also avail-
able in the navigation window, for example:
R
Route list
R
Destination information
R
Trac information, e.g. length of trac jam,
delay
R
Motorway facilities
R
Car park search
R
Emergency corridors
MBUX multimedia system
491
F247 0074 02
If you do not follow the driving instructions or if
you leave the calculated route, a new route is cal-
culated automatically.
If, for example, the route is diverted or the direc-
tion of a one-way road has been reversed, driving
instructions may deviate from the actual trac
situation.
Alternatives may be oered during route guid-
ance, e.g. before passing a motorway exit road.
The additional driving time for the journey along
the motorway exit is shown.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and trac rules and regulations during your jour-
ney as well as the prevailing trac conditions.
The route can dier from the ideal route, for
example in the event of roadworks or incomplete
digital map data.
Notes on satellite reception
The correct function of the navigation system
depends amongst other things on reception of the
satellite system used. In certain situations satel-
lite reception can be impaired, malfunction or
even not be possible, e.g. in tunnels or in multi-
storey car parks.
▌Changing direction overview
Changes of direction are shown in the following
displays:
R
Detailed image of the junction
The display appears when you drive into a
junction.
R
3D image
The display appears when driving on junction-
free, multi-lane roads, for example at motor-
way exits and motorway interchanges.
Example: detailed image of the crossing with
upcoming changes of direction

There are three phases when changing direction:
R
Preparation phase
If there is enough time between the changes
of direction, the multimedia system prepares
you for the upcoming change of direction. A
navigation announcement is issued, e.g. "Pre-
pare to turn right".
The navigation window shows: the direction
information or the name of the road which is
to be turned into as well as the distance to the
change of direction.
R
Announcement phase
The multimedia system announces the upcom-
ing change of direction, e.g. by announcing
"Turn right in 300 m".
When the
Auto zoom map orientation is
switched o (/ page 506), a detailed repre-
sentation of the junction or a 3D image of the
upcoming change in direction appears in the
navigation window.
R
Change-of-direction phase
The multimedia system announces the immi-
nent change of direction, e.g. by announcing
"Now turn right".
Example of 3D image: when the distance to
manoeuvre point
1 is shown with 0 m and
the symbol for current vehicle position
4 has
reached manoeuvre point
1 the change in
direction is carried out.
%
Changes in direction are also displayed on the
driver's display and head-up display.
▌Lane recommendations overview
Example: lane recommendations

Explanation of the displayed lanes:
R
Recommended lane
In this lane, you will be able to complete both
the next change of direction and the one aer
that.
R
Possible lane
In this lane, you will only be able to complete
the next change of direction.
R
Non-recommended lane
In this lane, you will not be able to complete
the next change of direction without changing
lane.
During the change of direction, new lanes may be
added. Bus lanes are also shown.
%
Lane recommendations are also displayed on
the driver's display and head-up display.
▌Using motorway information
When driving on the motorway, upcoming motor-
way facilities and available service facilities are
shown in the route list. These include car parks,
service stations or motorway exits with service
POIs, for example.
The entries are sorted according to increasing dis-
tance from the current vehicle position.

ately rendered anonymous by Mercedes-Benz AG
and forwarded to the trac data provider. Using
this data, trac reports relevant to the vehicle's
position are sent to the vehicle. The vehicle acts
as a sensor for the ow of trac and helps to
improve the quality of the trac reports.

WARNING Risk of distraction from operat-
ing integrated communication equipment
while the vehicle is in motion
If you operate communication equipment inte-
grated in the vehicle when driving, you could
be distracted from the trac situation. This
could also cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.
#
Only operate this equipment when the
trac situation permits.
#
If you cannot be sure of this, stop the
vehicle whilst paying attention to road
and trac conditions and operate the
equipment with the vehicle stationary.
&
WARNING Risk of accident from operating
mobile communication equipment while
the vehicle is in motion
Mobile communication devices distract the
driver from the trac situation. This can also
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
#
As a driver, only operate mobile commu-
nication devices when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
#
As a vehicle occupant, use mobile com-
munication devices only in the designa-
ted area, e.g. in the rear passenger com-
partment.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system and mobile com-
munication equipment in the vehicle.
&
WARNING Risk of injury due to objects
being stowed incorrectly
If objects in the vehicle interior are stowed
incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown around

F247 0074 02
and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup
holders, open stowage spaces and mobile
phone receptacles cannot always retain all
objects within.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction.
#
Always stow objects so that they cannot
be thrown around in such situations.
#
Always make sure that objects do not
protrude from stowage spaces, luggage
nets or stowage nets.
#
Close the lockable stowage spaces
before starting a journey.
#
Always stow and secure heavy, hard,
pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky
objects in the boot/load compartment.
Observe the additional information on stowing
mobile communications devices correctly:

Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
▌Information on available emergency call sys-
tems
Two types of emergency call system are available
to you in the vehicle:
R
Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
R
112 emergency call system (EU eCall)
The Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call System is not
available in all countries. You can nd more infor-
mation on the regional availability of the
Mercedes-Benz emergency call system at:
.
ecall/
The following applies for both emergency call sys-
tems:
R
The transfer of specic data is required for the
intended function of both emergency call sys-
tems. This will be explained in the "Data trans-
fer" section (/ page 546).
R
Both emergency call systems are included as
standard equipment in your vehicle and are
activated at the factory.
R
The use of both emergency call systems is
exempt from charges.
R
Both emergency call systems only function in
areas in which the mobile phone network pro-
viders oer mobile phone coverage.
For both systems, insucient network cover-
age from the mobile phone network providers
can result in an emergency call not being
transmitted.
Dierences between the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system and the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall)
Mercedes-Benz emergency call system 112 emergency call system (EU eCall)
R
The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is permanently logged in to
the mobile phone network.
R
Automatic and manual Mercedes-Benz emergency calls are transmitted
to a Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre.
In the event that the emergency call centre of the Mercedes-Benz emer-
gency call system cannot be reached (e.g. due to a lack of network cov-
erage), the 112 emergency call is carried out automatically.
R
If you decide on the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) only, then the
system only logs in to the mobile phone network aer the triggering of a
manual or automatic emergency call.
R
The 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) transmits automatic and
manual emergency calls directly to public coordination centres.
MBUX multimedia system

%
The 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) in
your vehicle meets the delegated regulation
EU 2017/79. Proper and full functionality of
the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall)
depends on circumstances beyond the inu-
ence of Mercedes-Benz AG. This includes
mobile network coverage and the technical
infrastructure of the public reception centres
in the respective countries.
%
Please observe that in the event of a repair
genuine Mercedes-Benz batteries must be
used which have been certied pursuant to
the delegated regulation EU 2017/79 (Appen-
dix I). Other manufacturers are also permitted
provided their batteries are certied accord-
ing to the delegated regulation EU 2017/79.
There is the option of deactivating the Mercedes-
Benz emergency call system and using only the
112 emergency call system (EU eCall). Contact
address for carrying out deactivation of the
Mercedes-Benz emergency call system are the
local dealers.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the activation of the
Mercedes-Benz emergency call system for the fol-
lowing reasons:
R
In emergency situations when abroad, you can
also get support in a language you speak.
R
Several transmission technologies are used to
accelerate the transfer of the accident data
and improve reliability of the transmission.
R
The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is
permanently logged in to the mobile phone
network, which ensures faster placement of
the emergency call and faster transfer of the
accident data.
Measures for rescue, recovery or towing away
can then be initiated in quickly.
R
With a Mercedes-Benz emergency call, the
accident data is only transferred to the public
coordination centre with the approval of the
customer.
In the event of an automatically triggered
emergency call in which there is no voice con-
tact, the accident data is transmitted immedi-
ately to the public emergency call centre.
R
If the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre is
not available, the 112 emergency call is car-
ried out automatically.
▌Overview of emergency call systems
Both the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
as well as the 112 emergency call system (EU
eCall) can help to reduce the time between an
accident and the arrival of emergency services at
the site of the accident. They help locate an acci-
dent site in places that are dicult to access.
Both emergency call systems can initiate an emer-
gency call automatically (/ page 545) or man-
ually (/ page 545).
Only make emergency calls if you or others are in
need of rescue. Do not make an emergency call in
the event of a breakdown or a similar situation.
Indicators in the displays
The following messages appear on the central dis-
play or the media display of both emergency call
systems:
R
SOS NOT READY: the vehicle is not switched
on or the emergency call system is malfunc-
tioning. This does not necessarily indicate
544

complete failure of the emergency call system.
Emergency calls can still be transmitted.
The display only refers to the vehicle and does
not take account of the availability of mobile
phone networks and the Mercedes-Benz emer-
gency call centre.

All processing of personal data via the Mercedes-
Benz emergency call system corresponds with the
specications in the EU Regulation 2016/679 "on
the protection of natural entities with regard to
the processing of personal data (GDPR)".
The data is solely used by the Mercedes-Benz
emergency call system for rescue and recovery in
the event of an accident.
The owner of a vehicle, that is equipped with a
Mercedes-Benz emergency call system in addition
to the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall), has
548
MBUX multimedia system
F247 0074 02
the right to use the 112 emergency call system
instead of the Mercedes-Benz emergency call sys-
tem.
Contact address for carrying out deactivation of
the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system are
the local dealers.
Processing of personal data via the 112 emer-
gency call system (EU eCall)
All processing of personal data via the 112 emer-
gency call system (EU eCall) corresponds with the
specications in the EU Regulation 2016/679 "on
the protection of natural entities with regard to
the processing of personal data (GDPR)" and is
based particularly on the necessity of upholding
the vital interests of the aected person in
accordance with Article 6, Clause 1, Letter d of
the GDPR.
The processing of this type of data is strictly limi-
ted to the purpose of operating the emergency
calls to the standard European emergency call
number 112.
Data recipient
The recipients of data that is processed by the
112 emergency call system (EU eCall) are the rel-
evant emergency call inquiry terminals. These are
congured by the appropriate authorities of the
respective country in which they are located to
rst accept and subsequently process emergency
calls to the standard European emergency call
number 112.
Arrangements for data processing
Both emergency call systems are designed so that
the following requirements are fullled:
R
The data contained in the system memory is
not accessible outside the system prior to the
initiation of an emergency call.
R
Both emergency call systems cannot be
traced and there is no continuous tracking in
normal operation.
R
The data in the system's internal memory is
automatically and continuously deleted.
R
The location data of the vehicle is continu-
ously overwritten in the system's internal
memory, so that no more than the last three
current locations required for the normal func-
tion of the system are available.
R
The record of the activity data of both emer-
gency call systems is only kept for as long as
is required to full the purpose of handling the
emergency call, and under no circumstances
for more than 13 hours aer the time that an
emergency call is initiated.
Rights of persons aected by the data processing
The person aected by the data processing (the
vehicle owner) has the right to access the data
and if applicable can demand the correction, dele-
tion or barring of data that aects him or her and
that the processing of which does not correspond
with the GDPR regulations. Each correction, dele-
tion or barring carried out according to this regu-
lation must be shared with the third party to
which the data has been transmitted, provided
this does not prove to be infeasible and does not
incur disproportionate expenditure.
The person aected by the data processing has
the right to complain to the appropriate data pro-
tection authority should they be of the opinion
that their rights have been infringed by the pro-
cessing of their personal data.
