Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or
Apple CarPlay
®
)
If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can then control them by
means of the control elements integrated in the
vehicle. The smartphone's picture and sound can
be output via the multimedia system. Simultane-
ously, specific items of information are transferred
to your smartphone. Depending on the type of
integration, thisincludes position data, day/night
mode and other general vehicle statuses. For more
information, please consult the Operator's Manual
for the vehicle or the infotainment system.
This integration allows the use of selected smart-
phone apps, suchas navigation or music player
apps. There is no additional interaction between
the smartphone and the vehicle, particularly active
access to vehicle data. The type of additional data
processing is determined by the provider of the
app being used. Which settings you can make, if
any, depends on the specific app and the operat-
ing system of your smartphone.
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection,
data can be exchanged between your vehicle and
other systems. The wireless network connection is
made possible by the vehicle's own transmitter
and receiver or by a mobile end device that you
have brought into the vehicle, forexample, a smart-
phone. Online functions can be used via this wire-
less network connection. This includes online serv-
ices and applications/apps provided to you by the
manufacturer or by other providers.

turer in a suitable place, forexample, in the Opera-
tor's Manual or on the manufacturer's website,
where the relevant data protection information is
also given. Personal identification data may be
used to provide online services. Data is exchanged
via a secure connection, e.g. the manufacturer's
designated IT systems. Any personal data which
are collected, processed and used, other than for
the provision of services, is done so exclusively on
the basis of legal permission. This is the case,
forexample, for a legally prescribed emergency call
system, a contractual agreement or when consent
has been given.
You can have services and functions, some of
which are subject to a fee, activated or deactiva-
ted. This excludes legally prescribed functions and
services, suchas an emergency call system.
Services of third parties
If you use online services from other providers
(third parties), these services are the responsibility
of the provider in question and subject to that pro-
vider's data protection conditions and terms of
