they may be located on a device which you have
connected to the vehicle, such as a smartphone,
USB flash drive or MP3 player. If you have
entered these data yourself, you can delete them
at any time.
This data is transmitted from the vehicle to third
parties only at your request. This applies, in par‐
ticular, when you use online services in accord‐
ance with the settings that you have selected.
Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or
Apple CarPlay ® )
If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can then control them
by means of the control elements integrated in
the vehicle. Images and audio from the smart‐
phone can be output via the multimedia system.
Certain information is simultaneously transfer‐
red to your smartphone. Depending on the type
and integration, this includes position data, day/
night mode and other general vehicle statuses.
For more information please consult the Owner's
Manual of the vehicle/infotainment system.
This integration allows the use of selected
smartphone apps, such as navigation or music
player apps. There is no further interaction
between the smartphone and the vehicle; in par‐
ticular, vehicle data is not directly accessible.
The type of additional data processing is deter‐
mined by the provider of the app being used.
Which settings you can make, if any, depends on
the specific app and the operating system of
your smartphone.
Online services
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connec‐
tion, it enables data to be exchanged between
your vehicle and additional systems. The wire‐
less network connection is made possible by the
vehicle's own transmitter and receiver or by a
mobile end device that you have brought into the
vehicle, for example, a smartphone. Online func‐
tions can be used via the wireless network con‐
nection. This includes online services and appli‐
cations/apps provided to you by the manufac‐
turer or by other providers.
