rally, these are volatile data and will not be
st ored be yond the period of operation but will
only be processed within theve hicle itself. Con‐
trol units, vehicle keys forex ample, of ten contain
da ta memories. Their use permits thete mp orary
or permanent documentation of tech nical infor‐
mation about theve hicle's operating state, com‐
ponent loads, main tenance requirements and
te ch nical events or faults.
Depending on thete ch nical equipment, thefo l‐
lowing data are stored:
R operating status of sy stem components, such
as fill le vels, tyre pressure or battery status
R malfunctions or faults in impor tant sy stem
components, such as lights or brakes
R system reactions in special driving situations,
such as airbag deployment or the inter vention
of stability control sy stems
R information on events in which theve hicle is
damaged
In cer tain cases, it may be requ ired tostore data
th at wo uld ha veotherwise been temp orar y.This
may be the case if theve hicle has de tected a
malfunction, forex ample.
If yo u use services, such as repair services and
maintenance work,st ored operational data as
we ll as theve hicle identification number can be
re ad out and used. They can be read out by
service network emplo yees, such as workshops
and manufacturers or third parties, such as
breakdown services. The same is true in the case
of wa rranty claims and quality assurance meas‐
ures.
In general, there adout is per form ed via the
legally prescribed port forth e diagnostics con‐
nection in theve hicle. The operational data that
are read out document tech nical states of the
ve hicle or of individual components and assist in
th e diagnosis of malfunctions, compliance with
wa rranty obligations and quality impr ovement. To
th at end, these data, in particular information
about component loads, tech nical events, mal‐
functions and other faults may be transmitted
along with theve hicle identification number to
th e manufacturer. In addition, the manufacturer is
subject toproduct liability. Forth is reason, the
manufacturer also uses operational data from the
ve hicle, forex ample, forre calls. These data can
also be used toexamine the cus tomer's warranty
and guarantee claims. Fa
ult memories in theve hicle can be reset by a
service outlet or at your requ est as part of repair
or maintenance work.
Con venience and inf otainment functions
Yo u can store con venience settings and individual
settings in theve hicle and change or reset them
at any time.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, this
includes thefo llowing settings, forex ample:
R seat and steering wheel positions
R suspension and climate cont rol settings
R individual settings, such as interior lighting
Depending on the selected equipment, you can
import data into vehicle inf otainment functions
yo urself.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, this
includes thefo llowing data, forex ample:
R multimedia data, such as music, films or pho‐
to sfo r playback in an integrated multimedia
sy stem
R address book data for use in an integrated
hands-free sy stem or an integrated navigation
sy stem
R entered navigation destinations
R data on the use of Internet services
These data for con venience and inf otainment
functions may be sa ved locally in theve hicle or
th ey may be located on a device which you ha ve
connected totheve hicle, such as a smartphone,
USB flash drive or MP3 pla yer.If yo u ha ve
