Data memory
General information
Electronic control devices are installed in the vehicle. Electronic control units process data they receive from vehicle sensors, selfgenerate or exchange with each other. Some control units are necessary for the vehicle to function safely or provide assistance during driving, for instance driver assistance systems. Furthermore, control devices facilitate comfort or infotainment functions.
Information about stored or exchanged data can be requested from the manufacturer of the vehicle, in a separate booklet, for example.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehicle identification number. Depending on the country, the vehicle owner can be identified with the vehicle identification number, license plate and corresponding authorities. In addition, there are other options to track data collected in the vehicle to the driver or vehicle owner, e.g. via utilized services.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the vehicle.
For example, this includes:
–Status messages for the vehicle and its individual components, e.g., wheel rotational speed, wheel speed, deceleration, transverse acceleration, engaged safety belt indicator.
–Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature, rain sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the vehicle itself and generally volatile. The data is not stored beyond the operating period.
Electronic components, e.g. control units and ignition keys, contain components for storing technical information. Information about the vehicle condition, component usage, maintenance requirements or faults can be stored temporarily or permanently.
This information generally records the state of a component, a module, a system, or the environment, for instance:
–Operating states of system components, e.g., fill levels, tire inflation pressure, battery status.
–Malfunctions and faults in important system components, for instance lights and brakes.
–Responses by the vehicle to special situations such as airbag deployment or engagement of the driving stability control systems.
–Information on vehicle-damaging events.
The data is required to perform the control device functions. Furthermore, it also serves to recognize and correct malfunctions, and helps the vehicle manufacturer to optimize vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is transient and is only processed within the vehicle itself. Only a small share of the data is stored event-related in event or fault memories.
When servicing, for instance during repairs, service processes, warranty cases, and qual-

ity assurance measures, this technical information can be read out from the vehicle together with the vehicle identification number.
A dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop can read out the information. The socket for OBD Onboard Diagnosis required by law in the vehicle is used to read out the data.
The data is collected, processed, and used by the relevant organizations in the service network. The data documents technical conditions of the vehicle, helps with the identification of the fault, compliance with warranty obligations and quality improvement.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has product monitoring duties to meet in line with product liability law. To fulfill these duties, the vehicle manufacturer needs technical data from the vehicle. The data from the vehicle can also be used to check customer claims for warranty and guaranty.
Fault and event memories in the vehicle can be reset when a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop performs repair or servicing work.
Data entry and data transfer into the vehicle
General information
Depending on the vehicle equipment, comfort and individual settings can be stored in the vehicle and modified or reset at any time.
For example, this includes:
–Settings for the seat and steering wheel positions.
–Suspension and climate control settings.
If necessary, data can be transferred to the entertainment and communication system of the vehicle, e.g. via smartphone.
This includes the following depending on the respective equipment:
–Multimedia data such as music, films or photos 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 the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle or is found on a device that has been connected to the vehicle, e.g., a smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player. If this data is stored in the vehicle, it can be deleted at any time.
This data is only transmitted to third parties upon personal request as part of the use of online services. This depends on the selected settings for the use of the services.
Incorporation of mobile end devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile devices connected to the vehicle, for instance smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle control elements.
The sound and picture from the mobile device can be played back and displayed through the multimedia system. Certain information is transferred to the mobile device at the same time. Depending on the type of incorporation, this includes, for instance position data and other general vehicle information. This optimizes the way in which selected apps, for instance navigation or music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the mobile device and the vehicle, for instance active access to vehicle data.
How the data will be processed further is determined by the provider of the particular app being used. The extent of the possible

settings depends on the respective app and the operating system of the mobile device.
Services
General information
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 realized via an in-vehicle transmitter and receiver unit or via personal mobile devices brought into the vehicle, for instance smartphones. This wireless network connection enables 'online functions' to be used. These include online services and apps supplied by the vehicle manufacturer or by other providers.
Services from the vehicle manufacturer
Where online services from the vehicle manufacturer are concerned, the corresponding functions are described in the appropriate place, for instance the Owner's Manual or manufacturer's website. The relevant legal information pertaining to data protection is provided there too. Personal data may be used to perform online services. Data is exchanged over a secure connection, for instance with the IT systems of the vehicle manufacturer 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 a legal permission, contractual arrangement or consent. It is also possible to activate or deactivate the data connection as a whole. That is, with the exception of functions and services required by law such as Assist systems.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other providers, these services are the responsibility
of the relevant provider and subject to their data privacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle manufacturer has no influence on the content exchanged during this process. 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.
Event Data Recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crashlike situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
–How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
–Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were fastened.
–How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
–How fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data, for instance name, gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the
14 |
Online Edition for Part no. 01402723835 - VI/18 |

Information |
NOTES |
|
|
type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Vehicle identification number
