Ingeneral, this information documents thest ate
of a component part, a module, a sy stem or the
sur roundings such as:
Roperating statuses of sy stem components
(e.g. fluid leve ls, battery status, tire pressure)
Rstatus messages concerning theve hicle and
its individual components (e.g. number of

eral acceleration, display of thefast ened seat
belts)
Rmalfunctions or defects in impor tant sy stem
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
Rinformation on vehicle damage events
Rsystem reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, inter vention of sta‐

In addition toprov iding the actual control unit
function, this data assists the manufacturer in
de tecting and rectifying malfunctions and opti‐
mizing vehicle functions. The majority of this
data is temp orary and is only processed in the ve
hicle itself. Only a small portion of the data is
st ored in theev ent or malfunction memor y.
When service workis done on your vehicle, the
te ch nical da tafrom theve hicle can be read out
by service network staff (e.g. workshops, manu‐
fa cturer) or third parties (e.g. breakdown serv‐
ices). Services include repair services, mainte‐
nance processes, warranty events a
nd

assurance measures, forex ample. The read out
is per form ed via the legally prescribed port for
th e diagnostics connection in theve hicle. The
re spective service network locations or third
parties collect, process and use the data. They
document tech nical statuses of theve hicle,
assist in finding malfunctions and impr oving
qu ality and are transmitted tothe manufacturer,
if necessar y.Fu rthermore, the manufacturer is
subject toproduct liability. Forth is, the manu‐
fa cturer requirestech nical da tafrom vehicles.
Malfunction memories in theve hicle can be
re set bya service outlet as part of repair or
maintenance work.
They can enter data into theve hicle's comfort
and inf otainment functions themselves as part
of the selected equipment. These include:
Rmultimedia data such as music,
films or pho‐
to sfo r playba ckin an integrated multimedia
sy stem
Raddress book data for use in connection with
an integrated hands-free sy stem or an inte‐
grated navigation sy stem
Rentered navigation destinations
Rdata about the use of Internet services
This data can be sa ved locally in theve hicle or it
is located on a device which you ha veconnected
to theve hicle (e.g. smartphone, USB flash drive
or MP3 pla yer). If this data is stored in theve hi‐
cle, you c
