These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
R the vehicle's operating state
R events
R faults
In general, this technical information docu-
mentst he state of acomponent, amodule, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R operating conditions of system components,
e.g. fluid levels
R the vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components,e .g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, deceleration in move-
ment,l ateral acceleration ,accelerator pedal
position
R malfunctions and defect sinimportant system
components,e .g. lights, brakes
R vehicle reaction sand operating conditions in
special driving situations, e.g. airbag deploy-
ment,i ntervention of stability control sys-
tems
R ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R assist in detecting and rectifying faults and
defects
R analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
R optimise vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-
mation can be read from the event data memory
and fault data memory.
Services include, for example:
R repair services
R service processes
R warranty events
R quality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser- vice network (including the manufacturer) using
special diagnostic testers. You can obtain more information there, if required.
After afault has been rectified, the information
is deleted from the fault memory or is continu-
ally overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are con-
ceivable in which this technical data, in connec- tion with other information (if necessary, after
consultation with an authorised expert), could
be traced to aperson.
Examples include:
R accident reports
R damage to the vehicle
R witness statements
Further additional functions that have been con-
tractually agreed upon with the customer allow
certain vehicle data to be conveyed by the vehi-
cle as well. The additional functions include, for example, vehicle location in case of an emer-
gency. Copyright information

onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-
nentsoft he restraint system are in operational

system warning lamp:
R does not light up after the ignition is switched
on
R does not switch off after afew seconds when
the engine is running
R lights up again when the engine is running G
WARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or might not be trig-
gered at all in the event of an accident with a high rate of vehicle deceleration. This can
effect belt tensionersora irbags, for example.
There is an increased risk of serious or even
fatal injuries.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at aqualified specialist
workshop. PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp

part of the automatic deactivation system of the front-passenger front airbag.
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front airbag.
R PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is enabled. If, in the
event of an accident, all deployment criteria
are met, the front-passenger front airbag is
deployed.
R PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It will then
not be deployed in the event of an accident.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger seat, the front-passenger front airbag must
either be disabledore nabled; see the following

ative to observe the notes on the "Automatic front-passenger front airbag deactivation sys-
tem" (Y page 47) and on "Children in the
vehicle" (Y page 55).
R Children in aforward-facing child
restraint system: depending on the installed
child restraint system and the age and size of the child, the front-passenger front airbag is
either disabledore nabled. Therefore, it is
imperative to observe the notes on the "Auto-
matic front-passenger front airbag deactiva-
tion system" (Y page 47) and on "Children in
the vehicle" (Y page 55).
