Generall y,the use of these data is temp orar y;

th ete mp orary or permanent documentation of
te ch nical information about theve hicle's operat- ing state, component loads, main

Depending on theve hicle equipment, thefo llo w-

In general, there adout is per form ed via the legally
prescribed port forth e diagnostics connection in

document tech nical states of theve hicle or of
individual components and assist in the diagnosis
of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obli ga-

loads, tech nical events, malfunctions and other
