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, tyre 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 faults and optimising
ve hicle functions. The majority of this data is te
mp orary and is only processed in theve hicle
itself. Only a small portion of the data is stored
in theeve nt or fault 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, forex ample, repair services,
maintenance processes, warranty claims and
qu ality assurance measures. 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 faults and impr oving quality and
are transmitted tothe manufacturer, if neces‐
sar y.Fu rthermore, the manufacturer is subject
to product liability. Forth is, the manufacturer
requ irestech nical da tafrom vehicles.
Fa ult memories in theve hicle can be reset by a
service outlet as part of repair or maintenance
wo rk. Depending on
the selected equipment, you can
import data into vehicle con venience and info‐
ta inment functions yourself.
This includes, forex ample:
R multimedia data such as music, films or pho‐
to sfo r playback in an integrated multimedia
sy stem
R address book data for use in connection with
an integrated hands-free sy stem or an inte‐
grated navigation sy stem
R entered navigation destinations
R data 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. a smartphone, USB flash
drive or MP3 pla yer). If this data is stored in the
ve hicle, you can dele teit at any time. This data
is sent tothird parties only at your requ est, par‐
ticular lywhen you use online services in accord‐
ance with the settings that you ha veselected.
Yo u can store or change con venience settings/

brake fluid is not more than 12 months old.
Brake callipers, brake hoses and brake lines
Check thefo llowing for dama geeach time
before driving theve hicle on a racetrack:
R The du stboots on the brake callipers
R The brake hoses and brake lines
Re place them if necessar y.
Brake cooling
Special air deflectors and channels are fitted to
th e front and rear axles so that the brakes are
cooled suf ficiently. They supply the brake disks
with cooling air. Check that they are in per fect
condition and cor rectly fitted ea chtime be fore
driving theve hicle on a racetrac k.Excessi ve
we ar can be caused bydriving overke rbs, for
ins tance. Forth is reason, regularly check they
are all comple teand fitted securely.
In addition, check that the air guide plates are
seated securely and clean before and af ter driv‐
ing theve hicle on a racetrac k. Obser

Check
the tyres for dama geand the cor rect tyre
tread dep thboth before and af ter use on a race‐
trac k.Only then is it safe todrive on a racetrack
and on public roads.
As a result of the driving style and at high ambi‐
ent temp eratures, when driving on a racetrack it
may be necessary tocompensate forthe
inc rease in pressure in warm tyres byreleasing
air. Even forwa rm tyres, the specified tyre pres‐
sure may only be exceeded bymax. 0.5 bar.
Af terth e tyres ha vecooled down again, you
must readjust the tyre pressure in accordance
with the specifications in order todrive on public

Suspension settings
The
factory setting pr ovides a good compromise

Ve hicle measurements
Even small changes tothe suspension settings
alter the driving characteristics of theve hicle. To
ensure optimal driving characteristics, the speci‐ fi
ed values and tolerances of the individual sus‐
pension settings must be complied with. The
driving characteristics of theve hicle may other‐
wise be undesirable.
Ve hicle measurements are requ ired in thefo llow‐
ing situations:
R theve hicle height has changed in relation to
th e optimised setting.
R theve hicle is frequently subjected tovery
high loads, e.g. when driving over kerbs.
Therefore, check theve hicle height at regular
inter vals and, if necessar y,per form vehicle
measurements.
Note s on suspension components
Despite regular checks, and rega rdless of
