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
• events
• faults
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-
nents, e .g . fluid levels
• Status messages concerning the vehicle
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
components , including, for instance,
lights, brakes .
• Vehicle reactions and operating condi-
tions in special driving situations,
including, for instance, deployment of
an airbag, use of stability control sys-
tems .
• Environmental conditions , including,
for instance, the outside temperature.
This data is of an exclusively technical
nature and can be used to:
• assist in the detection and elimination
of faults and defects
• analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an
accident
• optimise vehicle functions
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
• service work
• warranty claims
• quality assurance
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.
