s onchanges tothe engine output
Output inc reases can:
R Change the emission values.
R Lead tomalfunctions.
R Result in consequential damage.
The operating saf ety of the engine is not guaran‐
te ed in all situations.
If th eve hicle's engine output is increased:
R Tyres, suspension, brake sy stem and engine
cooling sy stem must be adap tedto the
inc rease engine output.
R Vehicle must be recertified.
R Report changes in output tothe accident
insurance body.
This will otherwise lead tothe in validation of the

Ad ditional information rega rding exactly which
data in your vehicle are collected, sa ved and

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 count ry,
th is vehicle identification number can be used by,
fo rex ample, go vernmental authorities todeter‐
mine the identity of theow ner. The reare other
possibilities for using data collected from the
ve hicle toidentify theow ner or driver, su chas
th e licence plate number.
Therefore, data generated or processed bycon‐

can help with an in vestigation can, therefore, be
ta ke n from the airbag cont rol unit, forex ample.
Operational data in theve hicle
This is data rega rding the operation of theve hi‐
cle, which ha vebeen processed bycontrol units.
This includes thefo llowing data, forex ample:

The activation
thre sholds forth e components of
th ere stra int sy stem are de term ined based on the
ev aluation of the sensor values measured at vari‐
ous points in theve hicle. This process is pre-

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 yedeve nth ough theve hicle suf fers only

such as longitudinal members, are hit, theve hicle
deceleration may be high enough forth is to hap‐
pen.
Depending on the de tected deployment situation,
th e components of there stra int sy stem can be
activated or deplo yed independently of each
ot her:
R Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear
impact, side impact
R Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal
impact
R Side airbag: side impact
R Window airbag: side impact, frontal impact
