The vehicle is equipped with an MBUX multimedia system with navigation function.
There is a subscription for the Live Traffic Information service.
The Car-to-X-Communication service is activated in your Mercedes me user account.
Car-to-X-Communication is available in selected countries.
The communication module automatically establishes an Internet connection once the ignition is switched on. If there are any hazard warnings, they will be provided shortly thereafter. Depending on the mobile phone connection, the provision takes place from within a second up to about a minute.
Dangers are automatically detected by the vehicle or can be reported by the driver. These are then sent to vehicles with Car-to-X-Communication in the immediate vicinity.
If available, current details relating to hazard spots near the vehicle's current position are received.
This gives you sufficient time to adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
The use of Car-to-X-Communication requires the regular transmission of vehicle data to Mercedes-Benz AG. The data is then immediately pseudonymised by Mercedes-Benz AG. The vehicle data is deleted after an appropriate amount of time has elapsed (several weeks) and is not stored permanently.
Data which serves as identification is replaced during the pseudonymisation process. In this way, your identity is protected against access by unauthorised third parties.
