the driver's and co-driver's side. In the event of
an accident, emergency services can use the QR
code to quickly determine the corresponding res‐
cue card for your vehicle. The current rescue card
contains, in compact form, the most important

electric cables.

Data storage
Data processing in the vehicle
Electronic control units
Electronic control units are installed in your vehi‐
cle. Control units process data which, for exam‐
ple, they receive from vehicle sensors, generate
themselves or exchange between themselves.
Some control units are required for the safe oper‐
ation of your vehicle, some assist you when driv‐
ing, such as driver assistance systems, while oth‐
ers enable comfort or infotainment functions.
The following provides you with general informa‐
tion regarding data processing in the vehicle.
Additional information regarding exactly which
data in your vehicle are collected, saved and
transmitted to third parties, and for what pur‐
pose, can be found in the information directly
related to the functional characteristics in ques‐
tion in their respective operating instructions.
This information is also available online and,
depending on the vehicle equipment, digitally.
Personal data
Every vehicle is identified by a unique vehicle
identification number. Depending on the country,
this vehicle identification number can be used by,
for example, governmental authorities to deter‐
mine the identity of the owner. There are other
possibilities for using data collected from the
vehicle to identify the owner or driver, such as
the license plate number.
Therefore, data generated or processed by con‐
trol units may be attributable to a person or,
under certain conditions, become attributable to
a person. Depending on which vehicle data are
available, it may be possible to make inferences
about, for example, your driving behavior, your
location, your route or your use patterns.
