Defect details: <div>When connecting communication between the vehicle and the backend server for Mercedes me service, the multimedia system (MBUX) may have been updated with an incorrect configuration from the head office server. In this case, some functions of the multimedia system (e.g. TV, digital user manual) may not be deactivated as intended during driving. (*For example, the TV function of the multimedia system must automatically deactivate the screen for safe driving when starting to drive. However, it may not be deactivated due to a setting error, in which case the driver's attention may be distracted, leading to a vehicle accident. Risk may increase)</div><div><br></div><div>&lt;*Production dates by target vehicle&gt;<br>C 300: 2021.03.16~2021.03.26<br>C 200 4MATIC: 2021.03.24<br>S 350 d: 2020.11.13~2021.08.18<br>S 400 d 4MATIC: 2020.11.19~2021.08.16<br>S 450 4MATIC: 2021.06.22~2021.09.06<br>S 500 4MATIC: 2021.03.27~2021.08.10<br>S 580 4MATIC: 2020.12.18~2021.06.16<br>Maybach S 580 4MATIC: 2021.05. 28~2021.06.09</div>
