In special cases, it may be necessary to store
data that would otherwise only be volatile. This
may be the case if the vehicle has detected a mal-
function, for example.
If you use services such as repair services or
maintenance work, stored operational data can be
read out and used together with the vehicle identi-
fication number, where necessary. It can be read
out by service network employees (e.g. work-
shops and manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services). The same applies to war-
ranty cases and quality assurance measures.
The data is usually read out via the diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, which is required by
law. The operating data that is read out docu-
ments technical conditions of the vehicle or indi-
vidual components and helps to diagnose mal-
functions, meet warranty obligations and improve
quality. This data, in particular information on
component stress, technical events, operating
errors and other malfunctions, is transmitted to
the manufacturer for this purpose together with
the vehicle identification number if necessary. In
addition, the manufacturer is subject to product
liability. For this reason, the manufacturer also
uses operational data from the vehicle for e.g.
recalls. This data can also be used to check cus-
tomer claims for warranty and guarantee.
Malfunction memories in the vehicle can be reset
during repair or service work or, at your request,
by a service company.

You can incorporate data into the vehicle's info-
tainment functions yourself as part of the selec-
ted equipment.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, this
includes the following data:

R
for playback in an integrated multimedia sys-
tem)
Address book data for use in conjunction with

Data about using Internet services
R
This data for comfort and infotainment functions
can be saved locally in the vehicle or is stored on
a device that you have connected to the vehicle
(e.g. smartphone, USB flash drive or MP3 player).
If you have entered data yourself, you can delete
it at any time.
The transfer of this data out of the vehicle takes
place exclusively at your request. This applies in
