Introduction to the topic
The “Priv
acy settings” function enables you
to permit or prevent data transmission be-
tween the vehicle and the Internet.
The required mode can be set in the vehicle
settings in the Infotainment system.
The “Privacy settings” function cannot pre-
vent data transmission from external devices
and their communication with the vehicle.
Legally required services and their data trans-
missions cannot be switched off and cannot
be deactivated, e.g. “eCall Emergency Sys-
tem”.
Please note that every vehicle user can
adjust individual privacy function set-
tings. These settings may be different from
those preferred by the vehicle owner. Privacy settings
In order to permit or pre
vent data transmis-
sion, activate or deactivate offline mode in
the Infotainment system. Offline mode activated
The f

ollowing happens in this mode:

Grey globe: it is not currently possi-
ble to establish a connection to the
Internet or a connection is currently
being set up. Signal strength display of the
eSIM with a
vailable mobile com-
munication standard.
Legally required services can influence the
status display for data transmission inde-
pendently of activated offline mode.
Even if offline mode is activated, on-
line mode can be activated briefly by
safety-relevant and legally required services.
No We Connect Start services are activated
and no data of these services is transmitted
during this time. Offline mode will be reacti-
vated and the eSIM deactivated again after
successful transfer of the safety-relevant or
legally required data. Signal strength display of the eSIM
The signal strength display shows in online
mode whether the eSIM of the factory-instal-
led OCU can transmit and receiv

e data at the
current vehicle location and how good the
signal strength is.
The more bars that are highlighted in colour,
the stronger the signal and the larger the
amount of data that can be transferred. Ex-
ample: one or two highlighted bars indicate
a low signal strength. There may be restric-
tions in this case for the high data transfer
rates for streaming services.
The signal strength display functions inde-
pendently of the mobile communication
standard display.
There is no signal strength display in offline
mode and in the event of faults in the eSIM.
The signal strength display of the eSIM
does not show the signal strength of
a mobile device paired with the Infotainment
system.
The signal strength display of the eSIM does
not show whether a Wi-Fi device connected
to the Infotainment system is connected to
the Internet. Effects on online vehicle func-
