General notes
These data for convenience and infotainment
functions may be saved locally in the vehicle or
they may be located on a device which you have
connected to the vehicle, such as a smartphone,
USB flash drive or MP3 player. If you have
entered these data yourself, you can delete them
at any time.
This data is transmitted from the vehicle to third
parties only at your request. This applies, in par‐
ticular, when you use online services in accord‐
ance with the settings that you have selected.
Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or
Apple CarPlay)
If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, 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. The smartphone's picture and sound
can be output via the multimedia system. Simul‐
taneously, specific items of information are trans‐
ferred to your smartphone. Depending on the
type of integration, this includes position data,
day/night mode and other general vehicle sta‐
tuses. For more information, please consult the
vehicle Operating Instructions/infotainment sys‐
tem.
This integration allows the use of selected smart‐
phone apps, such as navigation or music player
apps. There is no additional interaction between
the smartphone and the vehicle, particularly
active access to vehicle data. The type of addi‐
tional data processing is determined by the pro‐
vider 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 connection,
data can be exchanged between your vehicle and
other systems. The wireless 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 functions can be used via
this wireless network connection. This includes
online services and applications/apps provided
to you by the manufacturer or by other providers.
Manufacturer's own services
Regarding the manufacturer's online services, the
individual functions are described by the manu‐
facturer in a suitable place, for example, in the
Operating Instructions or on the manufacturer's
website, where the relevant data protection infor‐
mation is also given. Personal identification data
may be used to provide online services. Data is
exchanged via a secure connection, e.g. the man‐
ufacturer's designated IT systems. Any personal
data which are collected, processed and used,
other than for the provision of services, is done
so exclusively on the basis of legal permission.
This is the case, for example, for a legally prescri‐
bed emergency call system, a contractual agree‐
ment 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.
Services of third parties
If you use online services from other providers
(third parties), these services are the responsibil‐
ity of the provider in question and subject to that
provider's data protection conditions and terms
of use. As a general rule, the manufacturer 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 personal
data.
Data protection rights
Depending on your country or the equipment and
range of functions of your vehicle as well as the
services you use and the services on offer, you
are entitled to different data protection rights.
Further information on data protection and your
data protection rights can either be found on the
manufacturer's website or you will receive this
information as part of the various services and
service offers. There, you will also find the con‐
tact information for the manufacturer and its data
protection officer.
At a workshop, for example, with the support of a
specialist and possibly for a fee, you can have
data read out which is stored only locally in the
vehicle.
Event Data Recorders
USA only:
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐
