vehicle" to allow the establishment of the
radio network connection.
Irrespective of a valid connected service
subscription, remote product security or
product safety related device management
and software and firmware updates will
be performed when the processing is
necessary for the compliance with a legal
obligation to which the Manufacturer is
subject (e.g. applicable product liability law,
e-call regulation) or when the processing
is necessary in order to protect the vital
interests of the respective vehicle users and
passengers.
The establishment of a secure radio network
connection and the related remote updates
are not affected by privacy settings and will
be performed in principal after an initiation
by the vehicle user following a respective
notification.
The system is able to notify receipt of an update
as soon as it is connected to an exterior
Wi-Fi
network or a cellular network.
Large updates are downloaded only via the Wi-Fi
network.
The availability of an update is notified on the
screen at the end of the journey with an option
of immediate installation or postponement of
installation.
The installation time is variable and can take
several minutes with a maximum of about 30 minutes. A notification will give an estimate of the
duration and a description of the update.
Update information is available through the
“Settings” application.
Press the "Settings" application.
In the list, select the "Updates” tab.
This button allows you to change the authorisation for automatic downloading
of updates via an external Wi-Fi network.
For safety reasons and because it
requires sustained attention by the driver,
the installation must be carried out with the
ignition on without starting the engine.
The installation cannot be carried out in the
following cases:
–

engine running.
–


emergency call in progress.
–


insufficient battery level.
–


when charging for electric vehicles.
If an update has failed or has expired, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of this service is not charged by the Contractor.
On the other hand, the use of the WI-FI and/
or cellular networks of your smartphone can
generate additional fees if your data plan is
exceeded.
These possible costs are reflected in the bill
of your telephone operator.

Event data recorders
11Recording event data
Electronic control units are installed in your
vehicle. These control units process data
received from the vehicle's sensors, for example,
or data they generate themselves or exchange
with each other. Some of these control units are
required for the correct operation of your vehicle,
some others assist you while driving (driving or
manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort
or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about
how data is processed within the vehicle.
You will find additional information about the
specific data which is downloaded, stored
and transmitted to third parties and what it is
used for in your vehicle under the keyword
"Data protection". This information is directly
associated with the references for the functions
in question contained in the corresponding
vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and
conditions of sale.
This information is also available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example:
–
Information about the state of the vehicle (e.g.
speed, travel time, lateral acceleration, wheel
rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). –


Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature,
rain sensor
, distance sensor).
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is
not stored for longer than one operating cycle
and is only used within the vehicle itself. The
control units often record this data (including the
vehicle's key). This function allows either the
temporary or permanent storage of information
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on
components, servicing requirements, as well as
events and technical errors.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the
data stored is as follows:
–
Operating state of system components (e.g.
filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge
status).
–

Faults and malfunctions in important system
components (e.g. lamps, brakes).
–

System reactions in specific driving situations
(e.g. deployment of an airbag, triggering of
stability control and braking systems).
–

Information about events which have
damaged the vehicle.
–

For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles,
the traction battery charge level and the
estimated driving range.
In particular circumstances (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary
to record data which would otherwise simply not
be stored.
When taking your vehicle in for servicing (e.g.
repairs, maintenance), the stored operating
data may be read along with the vehicle's identification number and used if necessary

.
The personnel working for the servicing network
(e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties
(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read
the vehicle's data. This also applies to work
carried out under warranty and quality assurance
measures.
This data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to
the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical
state of the vehicle or its components and
facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in
compliance with warranty obligations and for
quality improvement. This data, in particular the
information relating to stress on components,
technical events, operator errors and other
malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if
necessary, along with the vehicle's identification
number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be
engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the
operating data taken from the vehicle for product
recalls. This data may also be used to check the
customer's warranty and any claims made under
warranty.
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be
reset by an after-sales service company during
servicing or repair work, or at your request.
