Volkswagen Taigun 2022 Owner's Manual page 135

Depending on the technical condition the following
information is stored:
— Operating conditions of system components
Such as filling levels, tyre pressure, 12V battery
condition
— Faults and malfunctions of the system's key com-
ponents
E.g. lights, brakes
— System reactions under special driving conditions
E.g. activating an airbag, stability control systems
— Information about car damage
In special circumstances when the car identifies
a malfunction data that would otherwise be only
temporary can be stored.
During garage services such as repair or mainte-
nance work, if necessary the stored operating data
can be retrieved and used together with the car
identification number. Car data can be loaded by
a service network employee, e.g. in a professional
service or a third person, e.g. an emergency service.
This also applies to warranty cases and quality as-
surance measures.
Loading is carried out using the prescribed OBD
("On-Board-Diagnose") equipment in the car. The
loaded operating data document technical condi-
tions of the car or its individual components, helps
in diagnosing faults, complying with the warranty
obligations, and improving quality. The data, espe-
cially information about components loads, techni-
cal events, malfunctions and other defects are even-
tually sent to Volkswagen together with the car
identification number. In addition the manufacturer
is liable for the product. This is one of the reasons
why, Volkswagen uses car operating data, e.g. for
recalls. This data can also be used to check the cus-
tomer's warranty and guarantee claims.
The car's fault memory can be reset as part of re-
pairs and service work carried out by a garage, or at
your request.
Reprogramming control units
All the data to control individual systems is always
stored in the control units. Some comfort features,
such as comfort indicator light flashing, separate
door unlocking and the display indicators can be re-
programmed with special devices. When comfort
features are reprogrammed, the data and descrip-
tions in this Owner's Manual no longer correspond
to the original functions. Reprogramming by an au-
thorised specialist garage certified in the Digital
Service Plan.
Information about reprogramming options can be
found in an authorised specialist garage.
Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen Serv-
ice Partner.
Convenience functions
Convenience settings (personalisation) can be stored
in the vehicle and changed or restored at any time.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, this can be
done for:
— Seat and steering wheel position adjustment
— Chassis and air conditioning settings
— Individual settings of e.g. mirrors or ambient
lighting
Infotainment system
As part of the selected equipment you can enter da-
ta in the Infotainment system yourself.
Depending on the equipment you can use the fol-
lowing to do this:
— Media data for music reproduction, projecting
films or photos
— Directory data to use to connect to a speaker
phone or navigation system
— Entered navigation destinations
— Data to make online services available
This data can be stored locally in the car or on a de-
vice that you connected to the car, such as a mobile
phone, USB memory or MP3 player. If the data is
stored in the car it can be deleted at any time.
This data is transferred to a third party exclusively at
your request, especially as part of using online serv-
ices according to the settings defined by you.
Using mobile phones
If your car is appropriately equipped you can con-
nect your mobile phone or another mobile terminal
to the car so that you can control this equipment us-
ing integrated controls in the car if fitted. This al-
lows the image and sound of the mobile phone to be
reproduced via the Infotainment system. At the
same certain information is transferred to your mo-
bile telephone. This includes – depending on the
type of integration – position data and other general
information about the car. To do this, find out about
the display of applications in the Infotainment sys-
tem.
This allows you to use selected mobile phone appli-
cations, such as navigation or music reproduction.
No other interaction between the mobile phone and
the car, in particular active access to the car data,
takes place. The type of subsequent data processing
is determined by the provider of the used applica-
tion. Whether and what settings you can make for
