Service pr oviders
Wire less network connection
If yo ur vehicle has a wireless network connec‐
tion, it enables data tobe exc hanged between
yo ur vehicle and additional sy stems. The wire‐
less network connection is enabled via theve hi‐
cle's transmission and reception unit or via con‐
nected mobile end devices (e.g. smart phones).Online functions can be used via
the wireless
network connection. This includes online serv‐
ices and applications/Apps pr ovided bythe
manufacturer or other pr oviders.

online services. Personal data may be used for
th e pr ovision of online services. Data is
ex ch anged via a secure connection, e.g. tothe
manufacturer's designated IT sy stems. Personal
data is collected, processed and used via the
pr ov ision of services exclusively on the basis of
legal permissions or with prior consent.
The services and functions (sometimes subject
