252Customer informationVehicle data recording
and privacy
Event data recorders
Data storage modules in the vehicle
A large number of electronic
components of your vehicle contain
data storage modules temporarily or
permanently storing technical data
about the condition of the vehicle,
events and errors. In general, this
technical information documents the
condition of parts, modules, systems
or the environment:
■ Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels).
■ Status messages of the vehicle and
its single components ( e.g. number
of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration, lateral
acceleration).
■ Dysfunctions and defects in important system components.■ Vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation of
an airbag, activation of the stability
regulation system).
■ Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature).
These data are exclusively technical
and help identifying and correcting
errors as well as optimizing vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with these
data.
If services are used (e.g. repair
works, service processes, warranty
cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data storage
modules applying special diagnostic
devices. If required, you will receive
further information at these
workshops. After an error has been
corrected, the data are deleted from
the error storage module or they are
constantly overwritten.When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these technical
data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the
vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of an
expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency cases)
allow the transmission of particular
vehicle data from the vehicle.
