to detect and correct malfunctions, and
helps the vehicle manufacturer to optimize
vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is stored tempora-
rily and is only processed within the vehicle
itself. In some circumstances the vehicle
may store some data for an additional but
limited period of time.
When servicing, for
instance during re-
pairs, service processes, warranty cases,
and quality assurance measures, this techni-
cal information can be read out from the ve-
hicle together with the vehicle identifica-
tion number.
A dealer's service center or another quali-
fied service center or repair shop can read
out the information. The diagnostic socket
required by law in the vehicle is used to
read out data.
The data is collected, processed, and used
by the relevant organizations in the service
network. The data documents technical con-
ditions of the vehicle, which can be used to
determine vehicle maintenance status, and
facilitate quality improvement.
Fault and event memories in the vehicle can
be reset when a dealer’s service center or
another qualified service center or repair
shop performs repair or servicing work.
Data entry and data transfer into
the vehicle
General information
Depending on the vehicle equipment, com-
fort and individual settings can be stored in
the vehicle and modified or reset at any
time.
For example, this includes:
– Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
– Chassis and climate control settings.
If necessary, data can be transferred to the
entertainment and communication system
of the vehicle, for instance via smartphone.
This includes the following depending on
the respective equipment:
– Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated
multimedia system.
– Address book data for use in conjunc-
tion with an integrated hands-free sys-
tem or an integrated navigation system.
– Entered navigation destinations.
– Data on the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle
or is found on a device that has been con-
nected to the vehicle, e.g., a smartphone,
USB stick or MP3 player. If this data is
stored in the vehicle, it can be deleted at
any time.
This data is only transmitted to third parties
upon personal request as part of the use of
online services. The transmission depends
on the selected settings for the use of the
services.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mo-
bile devices connected to the vehicle,
for instance smartphones, can be controlled
via the vehicle control elements.
The sound and picture from the mobile de-
vices can be played back and displayed
through the multimedia system. Certain in-
formation is transferred to the mobile devi-
ces at the same time. Depending on the type
of incorporation, this includes, for instance
position data and other general vehicle in-
formation. This optimizes the way in which
selected apps, for instance navigation or
music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle, such as ac-
tive access to vehicle data.
