2020 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 Owner´s Manual

Personal reference
Each v
ehicle is given a unique vehicle identi-
fication number. In Germany, for example,
this vehicle identification number can be
traced back to the current and former owners
of the vehicle using information provided by
the Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraft-
fahrtbundesamt ). There are also other ways
of tracing the vehicle to the owner or driver,
via data collected for the vehicle e.g. the reg-
istration number.
The data generated or processed by control
units may therefore be personal data or un-
der certain conditions is personal data. De-
pending on the vehicle data available, it may
be possible to draw conclusions, e.g. about
your driving behaviour, your location or your
route or your usage behaviour.
Your rights regarding data protection
In accordance with applicable data protection
law, you have certain rights vis-

with the vehicle identification number. The
data can be read from the v ehicle by employ-
ees of the service network, e.g. workshops, or
third parties, e.g. breakdown services. The
same applies to warranty cases and quality
assurance measures.
The data is read using the legally required
OBD interface (“On Board Diagnosis”) in the
vehicle

cle do not interact in any other ways than
those described here, in particular the de
vice
does not actively access vehicle data. The
type of further data processing depends on
the app provider. The settings that you can
adjust here depend on the app in question
and the operating system on your mobile de-
vice.
Online services
If your vehicle is equipped with a connection
to a mobile network, your vehicle will be able
to exchange data with other systems. The ve-
hicle can be connected to a mobile network
using a transmitter and receiver unit in the
vehicle or using your own mobile device. This
mobile network connection enables you to
use online functions. This includes online
services and apps provided by Volkswagen or
other third-party providers.
Manufacturer services
In the case of Volkswagen online services,
Volkswagen describes the respective func-
tions in a suitable place, e.g. in a separate
service description or on an Internet page,
and the associated privacy information is
provided. Personal data may be required in
order to provide online services. For this, data
is exchanged over a secure connection, e.g.
using the designated IT systems of the manu-
facturer. Any collection, processing and use
of personal data that goes beyond the provi-
sion of the service takes place exclusively ac-
cording to legal regulations, contractual
agreements or the necessary permission.
You can activate and deactivate the services
and functions, some of which are subject to
a fee and in some cases also disable the vehi-
cle

Data from driver assist systems are also re-
corded. In addition to inf
ormation about
whether the systems were switched on or
off, available only to a restricted extent or in-
active, it is also possible to determine wheth-
er these functions steered, accelerated or
braked the vehicle in the above-described sit-
uations. Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, these systems include the following:

Fluids in the air condi-
tioning system
Refrigerant in the air conditioning system
The sticker in the bonnet space contains in-
f
ormation regarding the type and quantity of
refrigerant used in the vehicle

Component protection
Some electronic components and control
units are fitted with component protec-
tion as standard, e.g. the Inf
otainment
system.
The component protection permits a quali-
fied workshop to legitimately install or re-
place components and control units.
The component protection prevents the full
operation of factory-supplied components
outside the vehicle in the following situa-
tions:

If the vehicle exceeds the gross vehicle
weight rating or the rear axle load, the v
ehi-
cle speed must not exceed 80 km/h when
towing a trailer. This also applies to countries
where higher speeds are permitted. Observe
local speed limits. These may be lower for ve-
hicles with trailers than for vehicles without
trailers.
Any permitted excess loads for the vehicle
are entered in the vehicle documents. If no
excess load has been entered, it is possible to
drive up to 100 km/h, although local regula-
tions must be observed.
