218Customer informationbreakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data read documents the
technical condition of the vehicle or
individual components and assists
with fault diagnosis, compliance with
warranty obligations and quality
improvement. This data, in particular
information on component stress,
technical events, operator errors and
other faults, is transmitted to the
manufacturer where appropriate,
together with the vehicle identification
number. The manufacturer is also
subject to product liability. The
manufacturer potentially also uses
operating data from vehicles for
product recalls. This data can also be used to check customer warranty and
guarantee claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.Comfort and infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and custom settings can be stored in the vehicle and
changed or reset at any time.

question, these include
● multimedia data such as music, videos or photos for playback in
an integrated multimedia system
● address book data for use with an
integrated hands-free system or
an integrated navigation system● input destinations
● data on the use of online services
This data for comfort and
infotainment functions can be stored
locally in the vehicle or be kept on a
device that you have connected to the
vehicle ( e.g. a smartphone, USB stick
or MP3 player). Data that you have
input yourself can be deleted at any
time.
This data can only be transmitted out
of the vehicle at your request,
particularly when using online
services in accordance with the
settings selected by you.
