In general, this information documents the state
of a component part, a module, a system or the
surroundings such as:
R
operating states of system components (e.g.
fluid levels, battery status, tyre pressure)
R
status messages concerning the vehicle and
its individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration, lateral
acceleration, display of the fastened seat
belts)
R
malfunctions or defects in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R
information on events leading to vehicle dam‐
age
R
system reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, intervention of sta‐
bility control systems)
R
ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain
sensor)
In addition to providing the actual control unit
function, this data assists the manufacturer in
detecting and rectifying faults and optimising
vehicle functions. The majority of this data is
temporary and is only processed in the vehicle
itself. Only a small portion of the data is stored in
the event or fault memory.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical data
from the vehicle can be read out by service net‐
work employees (e.g. workshops, manufacturers)
or third parties (e.g. breakdown services). Serv‐
ices include repair services, maintenance pro‐
cesses, warranty claims and quality assurance
measures, for example. The read out is per‐
formed via the legally prescribed port for the
diagnostics connection in the vehicle. The
respective service network locations or third par‐
ties collect, process and use this data. They
document technical statuses of the vehicle,
assist in finding faults and improving quality and
are transmitted to the manufacturer, if necessary.
Furthermore, the manufacturer is subject to
product liability. For this, the manufacturer
requires technical data from vehicles.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a
service outlet as part of repair or maintenance
work.
Depending on the selected equipment, you can
import data into vehicle convenience and info‐
tainment functions yourself.
This includes, for example:
R
multimedia data such as music, films or pho‐
tos for playback in an integrated multimedia
system
R
address book data for use in connection with
an integrated hands-free system or an inte‐
grated navigation system
R
entered navigation destinations
R
data about the use of Internet services
This data can be saved locally in the vehicle or it
is located on a device which you have connected
to the vehicle (e.g. smartphone, USB flash drive
or MP3 player). If this data is stored in the vehi‐
cle, you can delete it at any time. This data is
sent to third parties only at your request, particu‐
larly when you use online services in accordance
with the settings that you have selected.
You can store or change convenience settings/
individualisations in the vehicle at any time.
Depending on the equipment, this includes, for
example:
R
seat and steering wheel position settings
R
suspension and climate control settings
R
individualisations 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 this by
means of the control elements integrated in the
vehicle. Images and audio from the smartphone
can be output via the multimedia system. Certain
information is simultaneously transferred to your
smartphone.
Depending on the type of integration, this can
include:
R
general vehicle data
R
position data
This allows you to use selected apps on your
smartphone, such as navigation or music play‐
back. There is no further interaction between the
smartphone and the vehicle; in particular, vehicle
data is not directly accessible. Which type of fur‐
ther data processing occurs is determined by the
provider of the specific app used. Which settings
you can make, if any, depends on the specific app
and the operating system of your smartphone.
