There is no further interaction between themobile device and the vehicle, for instance ac#j
tive access to vehicle data. How the data will
be processed further is determined by the pro#j
vider of the particular app being used. The ex#j tent of the possible settings depends on therespective app and the operating system of the
mobile device.
Services
General
information If the vehicle has a wireless network connec#j
tion, this enables data to be exchanged be#j tween the vehicle and other systems. The
wireless network connection is realized via an
in-vehicle transmitter and receiver unit or via personal mobile devices brought into the vehi#j
cle, for instance smartphones. This wireless
network connection enables 'online functions'
to be used. These include online services and
apps supplied by the vehicle manufacturer or
by other providers.
Services
from
the
vehicle
manufacturer
Where online services from the vehicle manu#j facturer are concerned, the corresponding
functions are described in the appropriate
place, for instance the Owner's Manual or manufacturer's website. The relevant legal in#j
formation pertaining to data protection is pro#j
vided there too. Personal data may be used to
perform online services. Data is exchanged
over a secure connection, for instance with the
IT systems of the vehicle manufacturer in#j
tended for this purpose. Any collection, proc#j
essing, and use of personal data above and be#j
yond that needed to provide the services must
always be based on a legal permission, con#j
tractual arrangement or consent.
In addition, the vehicle manufacturer evaluates
anonymized information on transport infra#j structure and how the infotainment system isused. This information cannot be traced backto individual vehicles or people. Evaluating thedata enables the manufacturer to further im#jprove its products or services, for instance by
incorporating the most up-to-date traffic bulle#j tins. The data transfer feature can be deacti#j
vated in the vehicle. Certain services and func#j
tions, some of which are subject to a charge, can be deactivated by the driver. It is also pos#j
sible to activate or deactivate the data connec#j
tion as a whole. That is, with the exception of functions and services required by law such asAssist systems.
Services
from
other
providers
When using online services from other provid#j ers, these services are the responsibility of the
relevant provider and subject to their data pri#j
vacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle manufacturer has no influence on the contentexchanged during this process. Information onthe way in which personal data is collected and
used in relation to services from third parties, the scope of such data, and its purpose, can be
obtained from the relevant service provider.
Event
Data
Recorder
EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data re#j
corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa#j
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a road obstacle, data that will assist in under#j
standing how a vehicle#ss systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:'yHow various systems in your vehicle were operating.'yWhether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were fastened.'yHow far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.Seite 11Information11
Online Edition for Part no. 01402981865 - VI/17

'yHow fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better under#j
standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is re#j
corded by the EDR under normal driving condi#j
tions and no personal data, for instance name, gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforce#jment, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac#j
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi#j
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve#j
hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment,
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
Vehicle
identification
number
The vehicle identification number can be found
in the engine compartment, on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
The vehicle identification number can also be
found behind the windshield.
