Generall y,the use of these data is temp orar y;

ation and will only be processed within theve hicle
itself. Control units oTen contain data memories

te mp orary or permanent documentation of tech ni-
cal information about theve hicle's operating
state, component loads, main tenance requ ire-
ments and tech nical events or faults.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, thefo llo w-

R operating status of system components,
suchas /ll le vels, tyre pressure or battery sta-
tus

wa rranty claims and quality assurance measures.
In general, there adout is per form ed via the legally
prescribed port forth e diagnostics connection in
th eve hicle. The operational data that are read out
document tech nical states of theve hicle or of
individual components and assist in the diagnosis
of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obli ga-
