Ingeneral, this information documents thest ate
of a component part, a module, a sy stem or the
sur roundings such as:
Roperating statuses of sy stem components
(e.g. fluid leve ls, battery status, tire pressure)
Rstatus messages concerning theve hicle and
its individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revo lutions/speed, decele ration, lat‐
eral acceleration, display of thefast ened seat
belts)
Rmalfunctions or defects in impor tant sy stem
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
Rinformation on vehicle damage events
Rsystem reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, inter vention of sta‐
bility control sy stems)
Rambient conditions (e.g. temp erature, rain
sensor)
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 theev ent or malfunction memor y.
When service workis done on your vehicle, the
te ch nical da tafrom theve hicle can be read out
by service network staff (e.g. workshops, manu‐
fa cturer) or third parties (e.g. breakdown serv‐
ices). Services include repair services, mainte‐
nance processes, warranty events a
nd
quality
assurance measures, forex ample. The read out
is per form ed via the legally prescribed port for
th e diagnostics connection in theve hicle. The
re spective service network locations or third
parties collect, process and use the data. They
document tech nical statuses of theve hicle,
assist in finding malfunctions and impr oving
qu ality and are transmitted tothe manufacturer,
if necessar y.Fu rthermore, the manufacturer is
subject toproduct liability. Forth is, the manu‐
fa cturer requirestech nical da tafrom vehicles.
Malfunction memories in theve hicle can be
re set bya service outlet as part of repair or
maintenance work.
They can enter data into theve hicle's comfort
and inf otainment functions themselves as part
of the selected equipment. These include:
Rmultimedia data such as music,
films or pho‐
to sfo r playba ckin an integrated multimedia
sy stem
Raddress book data for use in connection with
an integrated hands-free sy stem or an inte‐
grated navigation sy stem
Rentered navigation destinations
Rdata about the use of Internet services
This data can be sa ved locally in theve hicle or it
is located on a device which you ha veconnected
to theve hicle (e.g. smartphone, USB flash drive
or MP3 pla yer). If this data is stored in theve hi‐
cle, you c
an dele
teit at any time. This data can
only be transmitte dto third parties upon your
re qu est with particular rega rd tothe scope of
use of online services according toyour selected
settings.
Yo u can store or change con venience settings/
individualization in theve hicle at any time.
Depending on the equipment, this includes, for
ex ample:
Rseat and steering wheel position settings
General no tes 29
Rsuspension and climate control settings
Rindividualization such as interior lighting
If yo ur vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can
connect your smartphone or ano ther mobile end
device totheve hicle. You can cont rolth em via
th e control elements integrated in your vehicle.
Images and audio from the smartphone can be
output via the multimedia sy stem. Cer tain infor‐
mation is simultaneously transfer redto yo ur
smartphone.
Dependin g onthere spective integration type,
th is includes, forex ample:
Rge neral vehicle data
Rposition data
This enables the use of selected smartphone
apps, e.g. navigation or music playbac k.There is
no fur ther interaction between the smartphone
and theve hicle; in particular, vehicle data is not
directly accessible. Which type of fur ther data
processing occurs is de term ined bythe pr ovider
of the specific app used. Which settings you can
make, ifan y,depends on the specific app and
th e operating sy stem of your smartphone.
Online services
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 transmitter and receive r unit or via connec‐
te d mobile end devices (e.g. smartphones).
Online functions can be used via the wireless
network connection. This includes online serv‐
ices and applications/apps pr ovided bythe man‐
ufacturer or other pr oviders.
Manufa cturer's se rvices
Re garding online services of the manufacturer,
th e individual functions are described bythe
manufacturer in a sui table place (e.g. Operator's
Manual, website of the manufacturer) along with
th ere leva nt da taprotection information. Per‐
sonal data may be used forth e pr ovision of
online services. Data is exch anged via a secure
connection, e.g. the manufacturer's designated
IT sy stems. Personal data is collected, pro‐
cessed and used via the pr ovision of services exc
lusively 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
If it is possible touse online services from other
pr ov iders, th
ese services are subj
ecttothe data
pr otection and term s of use of there sponsible
pr ov ider. The manufacturer has no influence on
th e conte ntexc hanged.
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.
