Data memory
General
Electronic control units are in-
stalled in the vehicle. Electronic
control units process data re-
ceived from vehicle sensors,
self-generated data or data ex-
changed between control units,
for example. Some control units
are required for safe vehicle op-
eration or provide driving assis-
tance, such as driver assistance
systems. Control units also make
comfort and infotainment func-
tions possible.
Information about the stored or
exchanged data can be obtained
from the vehicle manufacturer,
such as in the form of a separate
booklet.
