Ingeneral,this information documentsthestateof a component part, a module, a system orthesurroundings such as:
Roperatingstatus of system components (e.g.fill levels, batterystatus, tire pressure)
Rstatus messages concerningthevehicle orits individual components (e.g. number ofwheelrevolutions/speed, longitudinal accel‐eration, lateral acceleration, display offas‐tened seat belts)
Rmalfunctions orfaults in important systemcomponents (e.g. lights, brakes)
Rinformation onevents leadingtovehicledamage
Rsystemreactions in special driving situations(e.g. airbag deployment, intervention ofsta‐bility control systems)
