Control units process data which, forex ample,

Some control units are
requ ired forth e safe
operation of your vehicle, some assist you when
driving, such as driver assis tance sy stems, while
ot hers enable con venience or inf otainment func‐
tions.
The following pr ovides you with general informa‐

Ad ditional information rega rding exact ly which

pose, can be found in the information directly
re lated tothe functional characteristics in ques‐
tion in their respective operating instructions.
This information is also available online and,
depending on theve hicle equipment, digitally.
Pe rsonal data
Every vehicle is identified bya unique vehicle
identification number. Depending on the coun‐
tr y, this vehicle identification number can be
used by,fo rex ample, go vernmental auth orities
to determ ine the identity of theow ner. The reare
ot her possibilities touse data collec ted from the
ve hicle toidentify theow ner or driver, su chas
th e licence plate number. Therefore, data
generated or processed bycon‐
trol units may be attributable toa person or,
under cer tain conditions, become att ributable to
a person. Depending on which vehicle data are
av ailable, it may be possible tomake inferences
about, forex ample, your driving behaviour, your
location, your route or your use pat tern s.
Legal requirements rega rding the disclosure
of data
If legally requ ired todo so, manufacturers are, in
individual cases, legally obliged toprov ide gov‐
ernmental entities, upon request and tothe
ex tent requ ired, data stored bythe manufac‐
turer. Forex ample, this may be the case during
th e in vestigation of a criminal of fence.
Go vernmental entities are themselves, in individ‐
ual cases and within the applicable legal frame‐
wo rk, authorised toread out data from theve hi‐
cle. In the case of an accident, information that
can help with an in vestigation can, therefore, be

Operational data in theve hicle
This is data rega rding the operation of theve hi‐

thefo llowing data, forex ample:

General ly,th e use of these data is temp orar y;

DANG ER Risk of death due tothe
re stra int sy stem malfunctioning
Components in there stra int sy stem may be
activated unintentionally or not deploy as
intended in an accident. In theeve nt of an
accident, the high-voltage on-board electrical
sy stem may not be deactivated as intended. Yo
u may recei vean electric shock if you
to uch the damaged components of the high-
vo ltage on-board elect rical sy stem. #
Have there stra int sy stem checked and
re paired immediately at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. #
After an accident, switch off the ignition
immediatel y. Fu
nction of there stra int sy stem in an acci‐
dent How
there stra int sy stem works depends on the
se verity of the impact de tected and the apparent
type of acciden t:
R Frontal impact
R Rear impact
R Side impact
R Rollover
The activation thre sholds forth e components of
th ere stra int sy stem are de term ined based on
th eev aluation of the sensor values measured at
va rious points in theve hicle. This process is pre- em
ptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of
th e components of there stra int sy stem must
ta ke place in good time at thest art of the colli‐
sion.
Fa ctors whi chcan only be seen and measu red
af te r a collision has occur red cann otplay a deci‐
sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they pro‐
vide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly with‐
out an airbag being deplo yed. This is the case if
only parts which are relatively easily deformed
are af fected and thera te ofvehicle deceleration
is not high. Con versely, an airbag may be
deplo yedev en though theve hicle suf fers only
minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts
such as longitudinal members are hit, this may
re sult in suf ficiently high le vels of vehicle decel‐
eration.
Depending on the de tected deployment situa‐
tion, the components of there stra int sy stem can
be activated or deplo yed independently of each
