R
individualization such as interior lighting
If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can control them via
the control elements integrated in your vehicle.
Images and audio from the smartphone can be
output via the multimedia system. Certain infor‐
mation is simultaneously transmitted to your
smartphone.
Depending on the respective integration type,
this includes, for example:
R
general vehicle information
R
position data
This enables the use of selected smartphone
Apps, e.g. navigation or music playback. There is
no further interaction between the smartphone
and the vehicle; in particular, vehicle data is not
directly accessible. The type of further data pro‐
cessing is determined by the provider of the App
used. The respective App and your smartphone's
operating system determine whether changes
can be made to the settings and which settings
can be changed.
Service providers
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connec‐
tion, it enables data to be exchanged between
your vehicle and additional systems. The wire‐
less network connection is enabled via the vehi‐
cle's transmission and reception unit or via con‐
nected mobile end devices (e.g. smartphones).
Online functions can be used via the wireless
network connection. This includes online serv‐
ices and applications/Apps provided by the
manufacturer or other providers.
Manufacturer's services
The manufacturer describes the respective func‐
tions and corresponding legal data protection
information when suitable for the manufacturer's
online services. Personal data may be used for
the provision of online services. Data is
exchanged via a secure connection, e.g. to the
manufacturer's designated IT systems. Personal
data is collected, processed and used via the
provision of services exclusively on the basis of
legal permissions or with prior consent.
The services and functions (sometimes subject
to a fee) can usually be activated or deactivated.
In some cases, this also applies to the entire
vehicle's data connection. This excludes, in par‐
ticular, legally prescribed functions and services.
Third party services
If it is possible to use online services from other
providers, these services are subject to the data
protection and terms of use of the responsible
provider. The manufacturer has no influence on
the content exchanged.
Please enquire, therefore, about the type, scope
and purpose of the collection and use of per‐
sonal data as part of third party services from
their respective provider.
COMAND/mbrace
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND or
mbrace, additional data about the vehicle's oper‐
ation, the use of the vehicle in certain situations,
and the location of the vehicle may be compiled
through COMAND or the mbrace system.
