Data stored in the vehicle
A wide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
the vehicle's operating state
R
events
R
faults
R
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
operating conditions of system components,

malfunctions and defects in important system
R
components, e.g. lights, brakes
vehicle reactions and operating conditions in
R
