Onboard Logic Unit (OLU)
The Onboard Logic Unit (OLU) is available to com-
mercial customers.
It contains control units, including antennas for
connection via wireless networks, that permit the
exchange of data between your vehicle and other
systems. The control units can be used in conjunc-
tion with service provided by a third party. Under
certaincircumstances, these services may alter the
basic configuration of the vehicle and could affect
the performance of certain vehicle functions.
For further information about specific services,
read the Operator's Manual of the third-party pro-
vider. For further information about the Onboard
Logic Unit, consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
If you, yourself, do not own and are not responsi-
ble for the vehicle, you may notknow the current
status of the Onboard Logic Unit. For further infor-
mation concerning the services which are cur-
rently active, including any data which may be
being processed as defined by the GDPR, please
contact the person responsible for the vehicle.
Depending on the country, the equipment and
functions of your vehicle, and the services and
service offerings used, you are entitled 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 vari-
ous services and service offers. There, you will
also find the contact information for the manufac-
turer and its data protection officer.
At a workshop, for example, with the support of a
specialist and possibly for a fee, you can have data
read out which is stored only locally in the vehicle.
USA only:
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 situa-
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand-
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle dynam-
ics 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 were oper-
ating;
R
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
R
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
R
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are 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 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 needed 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, Daimler Vans
USA, LLC ("DVUSA") expressly disclaims any and
all liability arising from the extraction of this infor-
mation by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz personnel.
DVUSA 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 respon-
ses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by federal,
state or local government; in connection with or
arising out of litigation involving DVUSA or its sub-
sidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the Restraint
System Module. Tampering with, altering, modify-
ing or removing the EDR component may result in
a malfunction of the Restraint System Module and
other systems.
