If legally requ ired todo so, manufacturers are, in
individual cases, legally obliged toprov ide go vern-
mental entities, upon requ est and totheex tent
re qu ired, data stored bythe manufacturer.
Fo rexamp le,this may be the case during the
in ve sti gation of a criminal o.ence.
Go vernmental entities are themsel ves, 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 vesti gation can, therefore, be
ta ke n from the airbag control unit, fore xamp le.

This is data rega rding the operation of theve hicle,
which ha vebeen processed bycont rol units.
This includes thefo llowing data, fore xa mpl e:
R vehicle status information suc hasth e speed,
longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration,
number of wheel revo lutions or thefa stened
seat belts display R
ambient conditions, su chas temp erature, rain
sensor or distance sensor
Generall y,the use of these data is temp orar y;
th ey will not be stored be yond the period of oper-
ation and will only be processed within theve hicle
itself. Control units oTen contain data memories
fo rve hicle keys,fo re xamp le. Their use permits the
te mp orary or permanent documentation of tech ni-
cal information about theve hicle's operating
state, component loads, main tenance requ ire-
ments and tech nical events or faults.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, thefo llo w-
ing data are stored:
R operating status of system components,
suchas /ll le vels, tyre pressure or battery sta-
tus
R malfunctions or faults in impor tant system
components, suc has lights or brakes
R system reactions in special driving situations,
suchas airbag depl oyment or the inter vention
of stability cont rol systems
R information on events leading tovehicle dam-
age R
charge leve l of the high-voltage batter y,esti-
mated range
In cer tain cases, it may be required tostore da ta
th at wo uld ha veotherwise been used only temp o-
rari ly. This may be the case if theve hicle has
de tected a malfunction, fore xamp le.
If yo u use services, suc hasre pair services and
maintenance work, stored operational data as
we ll as theve hicle identi/cation number can be
re ad out and used. They can be read out by
service network emplo yees, suc haswo rkshops
and manu facturers or third parties, suc has break-
down services. The same is true in the case of
wa rranty claims and quality assurance measures.
In general, there adout is per form ed via the legally
prescribed port forth e diagnostics connection in
th eve hicle. The operational data that are read out
document tech nical states of theve hicle or of
individual components and assist in the diagnosis
of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obli ga-
tions and quality impr ovement. Tothat end, these
data, in particular information about component
loads, tech nical events, malfunctions and other
fa ults may be transmitted along with theve hicle 40 40

tially or comple tely switches o. con venience sys-

If necessar y,yo u can deactivate there strictions

re duce the maximum range gain by theva lue
speci/ed forth e function group.
If yo u switch on a deactivated function while
ra nge maximization is activated, all restrictions of
th e cor responding function group will be remo ved
and the maximum range gain will be reduced
accordingl y.Fo rex ample, if you switch on the
seat heating again, all restrictions of the "Seating
comfort" function group will be deactivated.
This does not apply tothe ECO driving functions
gr oup, as thera nge gain in this case depends
mainly on your personal driving style. The activa-
te d ECO driving functions help youto drive in an
energy-e1cient manner. The speci/ed range gain
