QR codes for rescue card
The QR code is secured in the fuel filler
flap and on the opposite side on the B-pil-
lar. In the event of an accident, rescue
services can use the QR code to quickly find
the appropriate rescue card for your vehi-
cle. The current rescue card contains, in a
compact form, the most important informa-
tion about your vehicle, e.g. the routing of
the electric cables.

Data stored in the vehicle
A large number of your vehicle's electronic
components can store data.
The data memory temporarily or perma-
nently stores technical information about:
the vehicle's operating state
R
events
R
faults
R
The technical information generally docu-
ments the condition of a component, mod-
ule, system or the environment.
These include, for example:
The operating status of system compo-
R
nents, e.g. fluid levels
Status messages concerning the vehicle
R
and its individual components, e.g. num-
ber of wheel revolutions/speed, decel-
eration in movement, lateral accelera-
tion, accelerator pedal position
Malfunctions and defects in key system
R
components, including, for instance,
lights, brakes.
Vehicle reactions and operating condi-
R
tions in special driving situations,
including, for instance, deployment of
an airbag, use of stability control sys-
tems.
Environmental conditions, including,
R
for instance, the outside temperature.
This data is of an exclusively technical
nature and can be used to:
assist in the detection and elimination
R
of faults and defects
analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an
R
accident
optimise vehicle functions
R
The data cannot be used to trace the vehi-
cle's movements.
If you have the vehicle serviced, this tech-
nical information can be read out from the
event and fault data memory.
Services include, for example, informa-
tion on:
repair work
R
service work
R
warranty claims
R
quality assurance
R
The readout is handled by service network
staff (including the manufacturer) with the
help of special diagnostic testers. You can
obtain more detailed information, if
required.
After the fault has been rectified, the
information is cleared in the fault memory
or is sequentially overwritten.
