is transferred to the vehicle manufacturer, if nec‐
essary.
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. Error and event memories in the ve‐
hicle can be reset when a Service Partner of the
manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner
or a specialist workshop performs repair or serv‐
icing work.
Data on service work carried out and proof of
maintenance is saved in the vehicle under the
service history and transferred to the vehicle
manufacturer. The vehicle owner can contact a
Service Partner of the manufacturer to object to
the data being saved and transferred to the vehi‐
cle manufacturer. This objection applies for as
long as the vehicle owner remains the proprietor
of the vehicle.
Data entry and data transfer into
the vehicle
General
Depending on the equipment, some data can be
transferred into the vehicle when using comfort
and infotainment functions, for example:
▷ Multimedia data such as music or films 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 may be saved locally in the vehicle or is
found 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 expressly desired.
This depends on the personal settings selected
for using online services.

Depending on the equipment, the following com‐
fort and individual settings can be saved in the
vehicle and modified at any time, for example:
▷ Settings for the seat and steering wheel posi‐
tions.
▷ Suspension and climate control settings.
▷ Individual settings, for example interior light‐
ing.
Control via mobile end user 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 end
user device can be played back and displayed
through the multimedia system. Certain informa‐
tion is transferred to the mobile device at the
same time. Depending on the type of connec‐
tion, this includes, for example position data and
other general vehicle information. This optimises
the way in which selected apps, for example nav‐
igation 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 pro‐
cessed further is determined by the provider of
the particular app being used. The range of set‐
tings depends on the respective app and the op‐
erating 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.
