In addition toprov iding the actual control unit
function, this data assists the manufacturer in
de tecting and rectifying malfunctions and opti‐
mizing vehicle functions. The majority of this
data is temp orary and is only processed in the
ve hicle itself. Only a small portion of the data is
st ored in theeve nt or malfunction memor y.
When your vehicle is serviced, tech nical da ta
from theve hicle can be read out byservice net‐
wo rkemplo yees or third parties. Services
include repair services, maintenance processes,
wa rranty events and quality assurance meas‐
ures, forex ample. The read out is per form ed via
th e legally prescribed port for OBD ("on-board diagnostics") in
theve hicle. The respective
service network locations or third parties col‐
lect, process and use the data. They document
te ch nical statuses of theve hicle, assist in find‐
ing malfunctions and impr oving quality and are
transmitted tothe manufacturer, if necessar y.

Wire less network connection
If yo ur vehicle has a wireless network connec‐
tion, it enables data tobe exc hanged between
yo ur vehicle and additional sy stems. The wire‐
less network connection is enabled via theve hi‐
cle's transmission and reception unit or via con‐
nected mobile end devices (e.g. smart phones).Online functions can be used via
the wireless
network connection. This includes online serv‐
ices and applications/Apps pr ovided bythe
manufacturer or other pr oviders.
Manufa cturer's se rvices
The manufacturer describes there spective func‐

information when suitable forth e manufacturer's
online services. Personal data may be used for
th e pr ovision of online services. Data is
ex ch anged via a secure connection, e.g. tothe
manufacturer's designated IT sy stems. Personal
data is collected, processed and used via the
pr ov ision of services exclusively on the basis of
legal permissions or with prior consent.
The services and functions (sometimes subject
to afe e) can usually be activated or deactivated.
In some cases, this also applies tothe entire
ve hicle's data connection. This excludes, in par‐
ticular, legally prescribed functions and services.
Third pa rty services

Please inquire, therefore, about the type, scope
and purpose of the collection and use of per‐
sonal data as part of third party services from
th eir respective pr ovider.
COMAND/mbrace
Ifth eve hicle is equipped with COMAND or
mbrace, additional data about theve hicle's oper‐

Ad ditional information can be found in the multi‐
media sy stem section and/or the mbrace Term s
and Conditions.
Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event da ta
