Rmalfunctions and defects in important sys-tem components, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditionsin special driving situations, e.g. air bagdeployment, intervention of stability controlsystems
Rambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera-ture
This data is of an exclusively technical natureand can be used to:
Rassist in recognizing and rectifying malfunc-tions and defects
Ranalyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-dent
Roptimize vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle'smovements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-mation can be read from the event data mem-ory and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
Rrepair services
Rservice processes
Rwarranties
Rquality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of theservice network (including the manufacturer)using special diagnostic testers. More detailedinformation is obtained from it, if required.
After a malfunction has been rectified, theinformation is deleted from the malfunctionmemory or is continually overwritten.
