engagement of the driving stability control
systems.
▷ Information on vehicle-damaging events.
The data is required to perform the control unit
functions. Furthermore, it also serves to detect
and correct malfunctions, and helps the vehicle
manufacturer to optimize vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is stored temporarily
and is only processed within the vehicle itself.
In some circumstances the vehicle may store
some data for an additional but limited period
of time.
When servicing, for instance during repairs,
service processes, warranty cases, and quality
assurance measures, this technical informa-
tion can be read out from the vehicle together
with the vehicle identification number.
An authorized service center or another quali-
fied service center or repair shop can read
out the information. The diagnostic socket re-
quired by law in the vehicle is used to read out
data.
The data is collected, processed, and used
by the relevant organizations in the service
network. The data documents technical condi-
tions of the vehicle, which can be used to de-
termine vehicle maintenance status, and facili-
tate quality improvement.
Vehicle fault and event memories can be re-
set by an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop when
performing repair or servicing work.

▷ Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
▷ Chassis and climate control settings.
If necessary, data can be transferred to the en-
tertainment and communication system of the
vehicle, for instance via smartphone.
This includes the following depending on the
respective equipment:
▷ Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated multi-
media 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 on-
line services. The transmission depends on the
selected settings for the use of the services.
Incorporation of mobile 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 devi-
ces can be played back and displayed through
the multimedia system. Certain information is
transferred to the mobile devices at the same
time. Depending on the type of incorporation,
this includes, for instance, position data and
other general vehicle information. This opti-
mizes the way in which selected apps, for in-
stance navigation or music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle such as active
access to vehicle data.
