You can incorporate data into the vehicle's com-
fort and infotainment functions yourself as part
of the selected equipment.
These include, for example:
R Multimedia data such as music, films or pho-
tos for playback in an integrated multimedia
system
R Address book data for use in conjunction with
an integrated hands-free system or an inte-
grated navigation system
R Navigation destinations that have been
entered
R Data about using Internet services
This data can be saved locally in the vehicle or
located on a device that you have connected to the vehicle (e.g. smartphone, USB memory stick
or MP3 player). If this data is saved in the vehi-
cle, you can delete it at any time. This data is
sent to third parties only at your request, par-
ticularly when you use online services in accord- ance with the settings that you have selected.
You can save and change comfort settings/
customizations in the vehicle at any time.
Depending on the equipment in question, these can include:
R Seat and steering wheel position settings
R Suspension and climate control settings
R Custom settings such as interior lighting
If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, you
can connect your smartphone or another mobile
end device to the vehicle. You can control this by
means of the control elements integrated in the vehicle. The smartphone's picture and sound
can be output via the multimedia system. Spe-
cific items of information are also sent to your
smartphone.
Depending on the type of integration, this can
include:
R General vehicle information
R Position data
This allows the use of selected smartphone
apps, such as navigation or music player apps.
There is no additional interaction between the
smartphone and the vehicle, particularly active
access to vehicle data. The type of additional
data processing is determined by the provider of
the app being used. Whether you can configure settings for it and, if so, which ones, depends on
the app and your smartphone's operating sys-
tem. Online services
Wireless network connection If your vehicle has a wireless network connec-
tion, data can be exchanged between your vehi-
cle and other systems. The wireless network
connection is made possible by the vehicle's
own transmitter and receiver or by mobile devi- ces that you have brought into the vehicle (e.g.
smartphones). Online functions can be used via
this wireless network connection. These include online services and applications/apps providedby the manufacturer or other providers.
Services provided by the manufacturer In the case of the manufacturer's online serv-
ices, the manufacturer describes the functions
in a suitable place (e.g. operating instructions,
manufacturer's website) and provides the asso-
ciated information subject to data protection
legislation. Personal data can be used in order to
provide online services. The exchange of data
for this purpose takes place via a secure con-
nection, e.g. with the manufacturer's IT systems intended for the purpose. Collecting, processing
and using personal data beyond the provision of
services is permitted only on the basis of a stat-
utory permit or declaration of consent.
You can usually activate and deactivate the serv-
ices and functions (sometimes subject to a fee).
In many cases, this also applies to the vehicle's entire data connection. However, this does not
apply in particular to legally prescribed func-
tions and services such as the "eCall" emer-
gency call system.
Services from third parties If it is possible to use online services from other
providers, these services are the responsibility
of the provider in question and subject to that
provider's data protection conditions and terms of use. The manufacturer has no influence over
the content exchanged here.
For this reason, please ask the service provider
for information about the type, extent and pur-
pose of the collection and use of personal data
when services are provided by third parties. 30
