General notes
Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or
Apple CarPlay)
If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can then control them
by means of the control elements integrated in
the vehicle. Images and audio from the smart‐
phone can be output via the multimedia system.
Certain information is simultaneously transfer‐
red to your smartphone. Depending on the type
and integration, this includes position data, the
day/night mode and other general vehicle sta‐
tuses. For more information please consult the
Owner's Manual of the vehicle/infotainment sys‐
tem.
This integration allows the use of selected
smartphone apps, such as navigation or music
player apps. There is no further interaction
between the smartphone and the vehicle; in par‐
ticular, vehicle data is not directly accessible.
The type of additional data processing is deter‐
mined by the provider of the app being used.
Which settings you can make, if any, depends on
the specific app and the operating system of
your smartphone.
Online services
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connec‐
tion, it enables data to be exchanged between
your vehicle and additional systems. The wire‐
less network connection is made possible by the
vehicle's own transmitter and receiver or by a
mobile end device that you have brought into the
vehicle, for example, a smartphone. Online func‐
tions can be used via the wireless network con‐
nection. This includes online services and appli‐
cations/apps provided to you by the manufac‐
turer or by other providers.
Manufacturer's services
Regarding the manufacturer's online services,
the individual functions are described by the
manufacturer in a suitable place, for example, in
the Owner's Manual or on the manufacturer's
website, where the relevant data protection
information is also given. Personal data may be
used for the provision of online services. Data
are exchanged via a secure connection, such as
the manufacturer's designated IT systems. Any
personal data which are collected, processed
and used, other than for the provision of serv‐
ices, is done so exclusively on the basis of legal
permission. This is the case, for example, for a
legally prescribed emergency call system, a con‐
tractual agreement or when consent has been
given.
You can have services and functions, some of
which are subject to a fee, activated or deactiva‐
ted. This excludes legally prescribed functions
and services, such as an emergency call system.
Third party services
If you use online services from other providers
(third parties), these services are the responsi‐
bility of the provider in question and subject to
that provider's data protection conditions and
terms of use. As a general rule, the manufac‐
turer has no influence on the content
exchanged.
For this reason, when services are provided by
third parties, please ask the service provider in
question for information about the type, extent
and purpose of the collection and use of per‐
sonal data.
