not accessible outside the system prior to the
initiation of an emergency call.

traced and there is no continuous tracking in
normal operation.
= The data in the system's internal memory is
automatically and continuously deleted.
= The location data of the vehicle is continu-
ously overwritten in the system's internal
memory, so that no more than the last three
current locations required for the normal func-
tion of the system are available.
