Fu rther information can be obtained at http://

storage Electronic control units
Elect
ronic control units are ins talled in your vehi‐
cle. Some of these are necessary forth e safe
operation of your vehicle, while some assist you
when driving (driver assis tance sy stems). In
addition, your vehicle pr ovides com fort and
enter tainment functions, which are also made
possible byelectronic control units.
Elect ronic control units contain da tamemories
which cantemp orarily or permanently store
te ch nical information about theve hicle's operat‐
ing state, component loads, main tenance
re qu irements and tech nical events or malfunc‐
tions. In
general, this information documents thest ate
of a component part, a module, a sy stem or the
sur roundings such as:
R operating status of sy stem components (e.g.
fi ll le vels, battery status, tire pressure)
R status messages concerning theve hicle or
its individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revo lutions/speed, longitudinal accel‐
eration, lateral acceleration, display of fas‐
te ned seat belts)
R malfunctions or faults in impor tant sy stem
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R information on events leading tovehicle
damage
R system reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, inter vention of sta‐
bility control sy stems)
R ambient 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 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 (e.g. workshops, manufactur‐
ers) or third parties (e.g. breakdown services).
Services include repair services, maintenance
processes, warranty claims and quality assur‐
ance measures, forex ample. The read out is per‐
fo rm ed via the legally prescribed port forthe
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 transmit tedto the manufacturer,
if necessar y.Fu rthermore, the manufacturer is
subject toproduct liability. Forth is, the manu‐
fa cturer requirestech nical da tafrom vehicles.
Fa ult memories in theve hicle can be reset by a
service outlet as part of repair or maintenance
