Data storage and services
Your vehicle is fitted with electronic control units. Some of these are required to make sure your
vehicle remains safe while others provide support while driving (driver assist systemsyf
Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with convenience and Infotainment functions, which are also
made possible using electronic control units.
Electronic control units contain data memories that can store information regarding the vehicle
status, component load levels, maintenance requirements, technical events and faults on a
temporary or permanent basis. This information generally documents the status of a component, a
module, a system or the environment, e.g.:
•Operating states of system components, e.g. filling levels, tyre pressure, battery status.
•Status messages from the vehicle or its individual components, e.g. wheel revolutions or speed,
deceleration, lateral acceleration, display of fastened seat belts.
•Faults or malfunctions in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes.
•Information on events which damaged the vehicle.
•System reactions to specific driving situations, triggering of an airbag, intervention the stability
control systems.
•Ambient conditions, e.g. temperature, rain.
As well as performing the actual control unit functions, these data are also used to detect and
rectify faults and help Volkswagen to improve vehicle functions. The majority of these data are
temporary are processed only within the vehicle itself. Only a very small amount of data is stored in
the event memories or possibly on the vehicle key.
Reading out the vehicle's event memory
There is a diagnostic interface in the vehicle interior for reading out the event memories (on-board
diagnostic systemyf ⇒.
If you have service work performed on your vehicle, the technical data can be read out of the
vehicle together with the vehicle identification number by service employees, e.g. workshops, or
third parties such as breakdown services. Service work includes, for example, repairs,
maintenance, warranty work or quality assurance measures. The service workshop or third party
collects, processes and uses the data. The data document the vehicle's technical status, help in
troubleshooting and in improving quality and may be sent to Volkswagen in some cases.
Furthermore, the manufacturer is subject to legal product safety requirements. To make sure it
complies with these requirements, the manufacturer requires technical data from the vehicles.
Event memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service workshop as part of repair or service work.
The event memory should only be read and reset by a qualified workshop. Additional information on
the stored data is available from qualified workshops.
After a fault has been rectified, the information in the memory pertaining to the fault is deleted.
Other memory content is overwritten on an ongoing basis.
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder. The main task of an event data recorder is to
record data in particular accident scenarios or accident-like situations, e.g. in the event of airbags
being triggered or a collision with an obstacle on the road. These data help in analysis of how a
vehicle system behaved in these situations. The event data recorder records data relating to driving
dynamics and the restraint system for a short period of 10 s or less. This information includes, for
example:
•how various systems in your vehicle have functioned.
•whether the seat belts of the driver and front passenger were fastened.
•the extent to which the driver pressed the brake or accelerator pedal.
•how fast the vehicle was travelling.
These data help to obtain a better understanding of the circumstances in the situations where
accidents and injuries have occurred.
Data from driver assist systems are also recorded. In addition to information about whether the
systems were switched on or off, available only to a restricted extent or inactive, it is also possible
to determine whether these functions steered, accelerated or braked the vehicle in the above-
described situations. Depending on the vehicle equipment, these systems include the following:
•Adaptive Cruise Control (ACCyf.
•Lane keeping system (Lane Assistyf.
•Park Assist.
•Park Distance Control.
•Emergency braking functions (Front Assistyf.
The data of the event data recorder are recorded only if a particular accident-like situation occurs.
No recordings occur under normal driving conditions. Audio or video data from the vehicle interior
or vehicle surroundings are not stored. Personal data such as name, gender age or accident
location are also not recorded at any time. However, third parties such as law enforcement
agencies can use corresponding means to link the content of the event data recorder with other
sources of data and thus establish a reference to persons as part of an accident investigation.

Special equipment, access to the legally prescribed diagnostic interface (on-board diagnosticsyfDQG
switched-on ignition are required in order to read data out of the event data recorder.
Volkswagen will not access, read out or process data from the event data recorder unless the
vehicle owner (or lessee in the case of leasingyfJUDQWVWKHLUSHUPLVVLRQ([FHSWLRQVWRWKLVDUH
contractual or legal provisions.
Due to its legal product monitoring obligations, Volkswagen is entitled to use the data for field
monitoring and also for research purposes and quality improvements. For research purposes,
Volkswagen makes the data available to third parties in anonymous form, in other words without
any reference to the individual vehicle, vehicle owner or lessee.
Reprogramming control units
All data for the control of components are stored in the control units. Some convenience functions,
such as lane change flash, single door unlocking and displays, can be reprogrammed using special
workshop equipment. If the convenience functions are reprogrammed, the descriptions in your
vehicle wallet will no longer match the original functions. Volkswagen recommends having any
reprogramming entered into the digital service schedule by a Volkswagen dealership or qualified
workshop.
Information about possible reprogramming can be obtained from the Volkswagen dealership.
Convenience and Infotainment functions
Depending on the equipment selected, you can store your own data in the vehicle's Infotainment
functions. This includes, for example:
•Media files for playing music, films or photos in the Infotainment system.
•Address book data for use with a hands-free system or navigation system.
•Entered navigation destinations.
•Data on the use of online services.
These data can be stored locally in the vehicle or located on a device that you have connected to
the vehicle, e.g. mobile device, USB stick or MP3 player. If these data are stored in the vehicle, you
can delete them at any time. These data are transmitted to third parties only at your request, in
particular in relation to the use of online services and in accordance with your personal settings.
You can store convenience settings (personalisationyfLQWKHYHKLFOHDQGFKDQJHWKHPDWDQ\WLPH
Depending on the equipment in the vehicle, this includes, for example:
•Seat position settings.
•Running gear and air conditioning system settings.
•Personalised settings such as mirror adjustment or background lighting.
Integration of mobile devices
If your vehicle contains the necessary equipment, you can connect your mobile device or any other
mobile end device to your vehicle so that you can control this device via the controls integrated in
the vehicle when the corresponding functions are available. For example, images and sounds from
the mobile device can be output through the Infotainment system. At the same time, certain
information is sent to your mobile device. This includes location data and further general vehicle
information, depending on the type of integration. For more details, refer to the information about
display of apps in the Infotainment system ⇒ Mobile online services.
This enables selected apps on the mobile device to be used in the vehicle, e.g. navigation or music
player. The mobile device and vehicle do not interact in any other ways than those described here,
in particular the device does not actively access vehicle data. The type of further data processing
depends on the app provider. The settings that you can make here depend on the app in question
and the operating system on your mobile device.
Third party providers
If your vehicle is equipped with a connection to a mobile network, your vehicle will be able to
exchange data with other systems. The vehicle can be connected to a mobile network using a
transmitter and receiver unit in the vehicle or using your own mobile device. This mobile network
connection enables you to use online functions. This includes online services and apps provided by
Volkswagen or other third-party providers.
Manufacturer services
In the case of online services provided by Volkswagen, the respective functions are described by
Volkswagen in a suitable location, e.g. in a separate service description or on a website ⇒ Mobile 
online services along with the relevant data protection policies. Personal data may be required to
provide online services. For this, data are exchanged over a secure connection, e.g. using the
designated IT systems of the manufacturer. Any collection, processing and use of personal data
that goes beyond the provision of the service takes place exclusively according to legal regulations,
contractual agreements or the necessary permission.
You can activate and deactivate the services and functions, some of which are subject to a fee, and
in some cases also disable the vehicle's entire data connection. This does not apply to any
functions and services required by law, e.g. emergency call systems.
