Regulation (EU) N° 2021/1244, Regulation (EU) N° 2018/858 and Regulation (EC) N° 692/2008, which grant standardised access to technical information whilst establishing specific provisions for access to vehicle security features

Most important facts:

• The SERMI scheme will become operational on July 31st, 2023. Consequently, unrestricted access to security related information within Diagnostic Truck Software (only theft relevant diagnostic processes, e. g. immobiliser diagnostic will no longer be possible).

• Specific access procedures need to be executed by independent operators (ISP) and their employees to receive access to security related Diagnostic Truck Software.

• Go-live might vary on market level. For your market-specific go-live dates and further information thereto, please consult the most recent information on the official SERMI website: https://www.vehiclesermi.eu

• For German market only: additional information is available under https://www.serma.eu

• After successful SERMI registration with the respective Conformity Assessment Body (CAB), ISPs can authenticate via UMAS for the standardised access to Mercedes-Benz Trucks security related repair and maintenance information.

Users must meet all the following prerequisites:

• Valid Mercedes-Benz Trucks Standard Diagnosis Role (requestable via UMAS)

• Valid Mercedes-Benz Trucks Flash Role (requestable via market form)

• Confirmation of successful participation in Mercedes-Benz Trucks Flash- and FBS-training for ISPs (requestable via Truck Training Platform)

Startkeys expiring within 2023 will be automatically extended until the planned due date December 31st, 2023. There is no further action required. For technical reasons mixed Startkeys are no longer available as of January 2024. Either a Daimler Truck or a Mercedes-Benz Start Key needs to be chosen:

Customers selecting a Daimler Truck Start Key:

• Please inform Mercedes-Benz AG until the latest May 2023 (via XSF or email xentry.customer.support@mercedes-benz.com) by naming your system number and stating that you wish not to use a Mercedes-Benz Startkey.

• The Daimler Truck Startkey will need to be ordered at Daimler Truck AG directly. You will receive an update regarding the ordering process.

• You will keep your current rental device until the end of the recommended period of use of 42 months, but at most until the end of 2025. Rental devices will be returned to the current hardware contract partner, Mercedes-Benz AG until the end of 2025. As of January 2024, the new Daimler Truck software will be installed remotely on your devices.

Customers selecting a Mercedes-Benz Start Key:

• In this case no further action is required.
• The Daimler Truck Startkey will be deleted on your device accordingly.

*Further detailed information on new Daimler Truck diagnosis devices with a runtime starting January 2024 will be communicated in due time
