Validity of Owner's Handbook

Vehicle production

You will find notes on any updates in the appen‐ dix of the printed Owner's Handbook for the ve‐ hicle.

After a software update in the vehicle

After a vehicle software update – for example, a Remote Software Upgrade – the integrated Owner's Handbook for the vehicle will contain updated information.

Your own safety

Intended use

Please comply with the following when using the vehicle:

▷ Owner's Handbook.

▷ Information on the vehicle. Do not remove

stickers.

▷ Technical data of the vehicle.

▷ The applicable laws and safety standards of

the country in which the vehicle is used.

▷ Vehicle papers and legal documents.

Warranty

The vehicle is technically designed for the oper‐ ating conditions and approval (homologation) re‐ quirements of the country to which it was first delivered. If the vehicle is to be driven in another country, it may have to be adapted beforehand to

any prevailing different operating conditions and approval requirements. If the vehicle does not comply with the homologation requirements in a certain country, warranty claims cannot be lodged for the vehicle there. Warranty claims can also be invalidated if the on-board network has been modified, e.g. through the use of control units, hardware or software that have been clas‐ sified as unsuitable by the vehicle manufacturer A Service Partner is able to provide further infor‐ mation.

Maintenance and repairs

The advanced technology used in your vehicle, for example the state-of-the-art materials and high-performance electronics, requires appropri‐ ate maintenance and repair methods.

Consequently, the manufacturer of the vehicle recommends having corresponding work carried out by a BMW Service Partner. If another BMW authorised workshop is chosen, BMW recom‐ mends choosing one that performs work, for ex‐ ample maintenance and repair, according to BMW specifications with properly trained per‐ sonnel. In the Owner's Handbook, facilities of this kind are referred to as "another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop".

If such work, for example maintenance and re‐ pair, is performed inexpertly, it could result in consequential damage and thus constitute a safety risk.

Work performed incorrectly on the vehicle paint‐ work can cause components, for example the ra‐ dar sensors, to fail or malfunction, resulting in a safety risk.

Parts and accessories

BMW recommends using parts and accessories that are approved by BMW and are therefore suitable for this purpose.

You are recommended to consult a BMW Serv‐ ice Partner for advice on genuine BMW parts and accessories, other BMW approved products and expert advice on all related matters.

Online Edition for Part no. xxx - VI/19

Notes

NOTES

The safety and compatibility of these products in conjunction with BMW vehicles have been checked by BMW.

BMW accepts product responsibility for genuine BMW parts and accessories. On the other hand, BMW cannot accept liability for parts or acces‐ sory products of any kind which it has not ap‐ proved.

BMW is unable to assess each individual product of outside origin as to its suitability for use on BMW vehicles without safety risk. Likewise no guarantee can be be assumed even if the prod‐ uct has been granted official approval in a spe‐ cific country. Tests performed for such approvals cannot always cover all operating conditions for BMW vehicles, and some of them therefore are insufficient.

Data memory

General

A number of electronic control devices are instal‐ led in your vehicle. Electronic control devices process data that they receive from vehicle sen‐ sors, generate themselves or exchange with one another, for example. Some control devices are necessary for the vehicle to function safely or provide assistance during driving, for example Driver Assistance Systems. There are also con‐ trol devices which manage comfort or infotain‐ ment functions.

Information on the data saved or exchanged can be obtained from the vehicle manufacturer, for example in a separate brochure.

Personal identification

Every vehicle has a unique vehicle identification number. Depending on the country, a vehicle owner can be identified by the vehicle identifica‐ tion number, the number plate and the relevant authorities. There are also other ways of tracing data collected in the vehicle back to the driver or

vehicle owner, for example via the Connected‐ Drive account used.

Data protection laws

As per prevailing data protection law, vehicle users have certain rights they may assert against the vehicle manufacturer or companies that col‐ lect or process their personal data.

Vehicle users have an unrestricted right to obtain information free of charge from bodies that save their personal data.

Such bodies could be:

▷ Vehicle manufacturer.

▷ Qualified Service Partners.

▷ Specialist workshops.

▷ Service providers.

Vehicle users may request information about what personal data has been saved, what it is used for and where it has come from. Proof of ownership or use is required in order to obtain this information.

The right to information also extends to informa‐ tion about data that has been transferred to other companies or bodies.

Please refer to the vehicle manufacturer's web‐ site for the applicable data privacy policy. This data privacy policy contains information about the right to have data deleted or corrected. The vehicle manufacturer's website also provides its contact details and those of its data protection officer.

The vehicle owner can have the data saved in the vehicle read out by a Service Partner of the manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop, on payment of a fee where applicable.

The legally required on-board diagnosis OBD socket in the vehicle is used to read out the vehi‐ cle data.

Notes

Legal requirements regarding data disclosure

According to current law, the vehicle manufac‐ turer is obliged to provide the authorities with any data it has stored. Data is provided to the extent required and on a case-by-case basis, for exam‐ ple to investigate a criminal offence.

The current law also gives state bodies authori‐ sation to read out data from the vehicle them‐ selves for individual cases. This could include reading out data from the airbag control device to shed light on the circumstances of an acci‐ dent, for example.

Operating data in the vehicle

Control devices process data to operate the ve‐ hicle.

This data includes, for example:

▷ Status messages relating to the vehicle and

its individual components, for example wheel rotation speed, wheel speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration, fastened seat belt indica‐ tor.

▷ Ambient conditions, for example temperature,

rain sensor signals.

The data is only processed within the vehicle it‐ self and is usually transient. The data is not saved after the vehicle is switched off.

Electronic parts, for example control devices and vehicle keys, contain components for storing technical information. Information about the vehi‐ cle's condition, component use and wear, main‐ tenance requirements, events or errors can be stored temporarily or permanently.

This information generally documents the condi‐ tion of a component, a module, a system or its environment, for example:

▷ Operating states of system components,

for example fill levels, tyre inflation pressure, battery status.

▷ Malfunctions and faults of important system

components, for example lights and brakes.

▷ Responses of the vehicle to particular driving

situations, for example triggering of an airbag, activation of the drive stability control sys‐ tems.

▷ Information on vehicle-damaging events.

The data is required so that the control units can perform their functions. It is also used for detect‐ ing and rectifying malfunctions, and helps the ve‐ hicle manufacturer to optimise vehicle functions.

Most of this data is transient and is only pro‐ cessed within the vehicle itself. Only a small pro‐ portion of the data is stored in event or error memories in response to specific circumstances.

When service work is being carried out, for ex‐ ample repairs, service operations, warranty work and quality assurance measures, this technical information can be read out from the vehicle to‐ gether with the vehicle identification number.

A Service Partner of the manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop can read out the information. The data is read out via the on-board diagnostics (OBD) socket, which the vehicle is required to have by law.

The data is collected, processed and used by the relevant organisations in the service network. The data logs the technical conditions of the ve‐ hicle and helps in locating errors, complying with warranty obligations and improving quality.

Furthermore, the manufacturer has product monitoring obligations to meet in line with prod‐ uct liability law. To fulfil these obligations, the ve‐ hicle manufacturer requires technical data from the vehicle. Data from the vehicle can also be used to check customer warranty claims.

Error and event memories in the vehicle can be reset when a Service Partner of the manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner or a special‐ ist workshop performs repair or servicing work.

Data entry and data transfer into the vehicle

General

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following comfort and individual settings can be saved in the vehicle and modified or reset at any time.

These include, for example:

▷ Settings for the seat and steering wheel posi‐

tions.

▷ Suspension and climate control settings.

Data can be imported into the vehicle entertain‐ ment and communication system if required, for example via a smartphone.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, this data includes:

▷ Multimedia data such as music, films or pho‐

tos for playback in an integrated multimedia system.

▷ Address book data for use in conjunction with

an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navigation system.

▷ Entered navigation destinations.

▷ Data on usage of Internet services.

This data may be saved locally in the vehicle or stored on a device that has been connected to the vehicle, for example a smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player. If this data is saved in the vehicle, it can be deleted at any time.

This data is only transmitted to third parties if ex‐ pressly requested in the course of using online services. The transfer depends on the settings selected for using the services.

Integration of mobile devices

Depending on the equipment, mobile devices connected to the vehicle, for example smart‐ phones, can be controlled via the vehicle con‐ trols.

Sound and images from the mobile device can be played back and displayed through the multi‐

media system. Certain information is transferred to the mobile device at the same time. Depend‐ ing on the type of integration, this includes posi‐ tion data and other general vehicle information, for example. This optimises the way in which se‐ lected apps, for example navigation or music playback, work.

There is no further interaction between the mo‐ bile device and the vehicle, for example active access to vehicle data.

How the data is processed further is determined by the provider of the particular app being used. The range of possible settings depends on the respective app and the operating system of the mobile device.

Services

General

If the vehicle has a wireless network connection, this enables data to be exchanged between the vehicle and other systems. The wireless network connection is established via an in-vehicle trans‐ mitter and receiver unit or via personal mobile devices brought into the vehicle, for example smartphones. This wireless network connection enables 'online functions' to be used. These in‐ clude online services and apps supplied by the vehicle manufacturer or by other providers.

Services from the vehicle manufacturer

Where online services from the vehicle manufac‐ turer are concerned, the relevant functions are described in the appropriate place, for example the Owner's Handbook or manufacturer's web‐ site. The relevant legal information pertaining to data protection is also provided. Personal data may be used to perform online services. Data is exchanged over a secure connection, for exam‐ ple with the IT systems of the vehicle manufac‐ turer intended for this purpose.

Any collection, processing and use of personal data above and beyond that needed to provide the services must always be based on legal per‐

mission, a contractual arrangement or consent. It is also possible to activate or deactivate the data connection as a whole. Excluded from this are functions and services which are required by law, for example emergency call systems.

Services from other providers

When using online services from other providers, these services are the responsibility of the rele‐ vant provider and subject to their data privacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle manu‐ facturer has no control over the content ex‐ changed when using these services. Information on the way in which personal data is collected and used in relation to services from third parties, the scope of such data and its purpose, can be obtained from the relevant service provider.

Statutory emergency call system

Principle

The eCall emergency call system required by law enables manual or automatic emergency calls to be issued in the event of accidents, for example.

The emergency calls are answered by the public rescue coordination centre.

General

For information on the statutory on-board emer‐ gency call system based on the 112 emergency call, as well as its operation and its functions, see page 385,

The eCall service based on the 112 emergency call is a public service of general interest and is provided free of charge.

If a serious accident occurs, the eCall statutory emergency call system is activated automatically by on-board sensors as a standard feature. It is also triggered automatically if the vehicle is equipped with an intelligent emergency call sys‐ tem that fails to work in the event of a serious ac‐ cident.

The eCall statutory emergency call system can also be triggered manually if required.

If a critical system failure occurs that would put the eCall statutory emergency call system out of operation, the vehicle occupants receive a warn‐ ing, see page 386.

Information on data processing

The eCall statutory emergency call system pro‐ cesses personal data in accordance with the following regulations:

▷ Protection of personal data: regulation

2016/679/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council.

▷ Protection of personal data: directive

2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Personal data is only processed for the purpose of transmitting eCall emergency calls to the standardised European emergency call number

112.

SIM card

The eCall statutory emergency call system oper‐ ates via mobile communications through the SIM card installed in the vehicle. The SIM card is not permanently connected to the mobile telephone network; rather, it remains connected only as long as the emergency call is active.

Data types and their recipients

The eCall statutory emergency call system may only collect and process the following data:

▷ The vehicle identification number for rapidly

identifying the vehicle, for example the model.

▷ Vehicle type, for example passenger car.

▷ Type of vehicle drive, for example petrol or

diesel, for assessing the risks involved in a rescue, for example the risk of fire caused by fuel.

▷ The vehicle's position at the time of the acci‐

dent, its last three locations and the driving direction in order to locate the vehicle more quickly on very complex route sections, for example.

Online Edition for Part no. xxx - VI/19

Notes

NOTES

▷ A log of the automatic system activation,

along with the time stamp.

▷ Control information, which tells rescue serv‐

ices whether the emergency call was trig‐ gered automatically or manually, for example.

▷ A time stamp for determining the time of the

accident in order to optimise the deployment plans of the rescue services.

▷ The driving direction for establishing which

side of a motorway carriageway is affected, for example.

The authorities of the state in whose territory the eCall system emergency call is made determine which emergency call centres receive and proc‐ ess the statutory emergency call.

Data processing configuration

The eCall statutory emergency call system en‐ sures that the data contained in the system memory cannot be accessed outside the system before an emergency call is triggered.

The data collected for the eCall statutory emer‐ gency call system is only saved in the vehicle and sent to the rescue coordination centre when an emergency call is triggered.

The eCall statutory emergency call system en‐ sures that it cannot be traced and there is no permanent tracking during normal operation.

The eCall statutory emergency call system en‐ sures that the data in the internal system mem‐ ory is deleted automatically and continuously.

The vehicle's location data is continuously over‐ written in the system's internal memory so that only the vehicle's last three locations - which the system needs for normal operation - are ever stored.

The activity data log of the eCall statutory emer‐ gency call system is retained only for as long as is necessary to handle the eCall emergency call and under no circumstances for any longer than 13 hours after the eCall emergency call was trig‐ gered.

Rights of individuals affected by data processing

The individual affected by data processing, for example the vehicle owner, has the right to access the data and can request that data con‐ cerning him or her that is not processed in ac‐ cordance with the statutory regulations be cor‐ rected, deleted or blocked as applicable. Each time that data is corrected, deleted or blocked in line with these regulations, the third parties to whom the data was transmitted must be notified, insofar as this is reasonably practical.

The individual affected by data processing has the right to complain to the relevant data protec‐ tion body if he or she believes that his or her rights have been violated by having their that personal data processed.

For matters relating to access rights, please con‐ tact a Service Partner of the manufacturer or an‐ other qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.

Intelligent emergency call system

Principle

The intelligent emergency call system enables manual or automatic emergency calls to be placed, for example in the event of an accident.

The emergency calls are answered by an emer‐ gency call centre appointed by the vehicle manu‐ facturer.

In addition to the intelligent emergency call sys‐ tem, the eCall statutory emergency call system is present in the vehicle and is active depending on the situation.

The vehicle owner has the right to use either the intelligent emergency call system or the eCall statutory emergency call system.

For information on operating the intelligent emergency call system and its functions, see page 385.

Online Edition for Part no. xxx - VI/19

NOTES

Notes

Legal basis

The intelligent emergency call system processes personal data in accordance with the following regulations:

▷ Protection of personal data: directive

95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

▷ Protection of personal data: directive

2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The ConnectedDrive contract concluded for this function, as well as the relevant laws, ordinances and directives of the European Parliament and the European Council provide the legal basis for the activation and function of the intelligent emergency call system.

The relevant ordinances and directives govern the protection of individuals in terms of process‐ ing personal data.

The intelligent emergency call system processes personal data in accordance with European di‐ rectives on the protection of personal data.

The intelligent emergency call system processes personal data only with the vehicle owner's con‐ sent.

The intelligent emergency call system and other added-value services may only process personal data with the express consent of the individual affected by data processing, for example the ve‐ hicle owner.

SIM card

The intelligent emergency call system operates via mobile communications through the SIM card installed in the vehicle. The SIM card is perma‐ nently logged into the mobile telephone network so a connection can be established quickly. The data is sent to the vehicle manufacturer in the event of an emergency.

Improving quality

The vehicle manufacturer also uses the data sent as part of an emergency call to improve product and service quality.

Position determination

Only the provider of the mobile telephone net‐ work is able to determine the position of the ve‐ hicle based on mobile telephone mast locations. The network operator is not able to link the vehi‐ cle identification number to the telephone num‐ ber of the installed SIM card. Only the vehicle manufacturer is able to link the vehicle identifica‐ tion number to the telephone number of the in‐ stalled SIM card.

Log data for emergency calls

The log data for emergency calls is saved in a vehicle memory. The oldest log data is regularly deleted. The log data includes information on when and where an emergency call was placed, for example in the event of an accident.

In exceptional cases, the log data can be read out from the vehicle memory. It is usually only possi‐ ble for log data to be read out with a court order and if the corresponding devices are directly connected to the vehicle.

Automatic emergency call

The system has been designed so that an emer‐ gency call is triggered automatically following an accident of a certain severity, which is detected by the sensors in the vehicle.

Sent information

If an emergency call is made by the intelligent emergency call system, the same information is conveyed to the appointed emergency call cen‐ tre as is normally conveyed to the public rescue coordination centre by the eCall statutory emer‐ gency call system.

Furthermore, the intelligent emergency call sys‐ tem also conveys the following additional infor‐ mation to an emergency call centre appointed by

the vehicle manufacturer and, where applicable, to the public rescue coordination centre:

▷ Accident data, for example the direction of

the collision as detected by the vehicle sen‐ sors in order to facilitate the deployment plans of the rescue services.

▷ Contact data, for example the telephone

number of the installed SIM card and the driver's telephone number, if available, so that those involved in the accident can be contac‐ ted quickly if necessary.

Data storage

The data relating to an emergency call that has been triggered is saved in the vehicle. The data contains information about the emergency call, for example the place and time it was issued.

The emergency call centre saves audio record‐ ings of the emergency call.

Audio recordings of the customer are saved for 24 hours, in case details of the emergency call need to be analysed. After that, the audio record‐ ings are deleted. Audio recordings of the emer‐ gency call centre employee are saved for 24 hours for quality assurance purposes.

emergency call system. The eCall statutory emergency call system takes over the emer‐ gency call function if the intelligent emergency call system is not functional for technical rea‐ sons, for example if the emergency call centre appointed by the vehicle manufacturer cannot be reached.

The eCall statutory emergency call system uses the infrastructure of the 112 public emergency call number.

The system can be configured so that emer‐ gency calls are always made via the eCall statu‐ tory emergency call system and not via the intel‐ ligent emergency call system. Have the setting configured by a Service Partner of the manufac‐ turer or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
