file, the time it takes to recognise
the files may differ. This is not a
problem with the product in this
case, so please wait for the files

A temporary spare wheel is not
equipped with pressure sensors.
The tyre pressure monitoring
system is not operational for these

Vehicle Data

Privacy
Event Data Recorders
Data storage modules in the
vehicle
A large number of electronic
components of your vehicle contain
data storage modules temporarily or
permanently storing technical data
about the condition of the vehicle,
events and errors. In general, this
technical information documents the
condition of parts, modules, systems
or the environment:
.Operating conditions of system
components (e.g. filling levels)
. Status messages of the vehicle
and its single components (e.g.
number of wheel revolutions /
rotational speed, deceleration,
lateral acceleration)
. Dysfunctions and defects in
important system components .
Vehicle reactions in particular
driving situations (e.g. inflation of
an airbag, activation of the
stability regulation system)
. Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature)
This data is exclusively technical
and helps identify and correct errors
as well as optimise vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with
these data.
If services are used (e.g. repair
works, service processes, warranty
cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data
storage modules applying special
diagnostic devices. If required, you
will receive further information at
these workshops. After an error has
been corrected, the data is deleted
from the error storage module or
constantly overwritten. When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these technical
data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the
vehicle, witness statements etc.)
may be associated with a specific
person - possibly, with the
assistance of an expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency
cases) allow the transmission of
particular vehicle data from the
vehicle.
Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some
vehicles for functions such as tyre
deflation detection and ignition
system security. It is also used in
connection with conveniences such
as radio remote controls for door
locking/unlocking and starting, and
in-vehicle transmitters for garage
door openers. RFID technology in
Opel vehicles does not use or
