In certain cases, it may be required to store data
that would have otherwise been used only tempo-
rarily. This may be the case if the vehicle has
detected a malfunction, forexample.
If you use services, suchas repair services and
maintenance work, stored operational data as
well as the vehicle identification number can be
read out and used. They can be read out by
service network employees, suchas workshops
and manufacturers or third parties, suchas break-
down services. The same is true in the case of
warranty claims and quality assurance measures.
In general, the readout is performed via the legally
prescribed port for the diagnostics connection in
the vehicle. The operational data that are read out
document technical states of the vehicle or of
individual components and assist in the diagnosis
of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obliga-
tions and quality improvement. To that end, these
data, in particular information about component
loads, technical events, malfunctions and other
faults may be transmitted along with the vehicle
identification number to the manufacturer. Fur-
thermore, the manufacturer is subject to product
liability. For this reason the manufacturer also
uses operational data from the vehicle, forexam-
ple, for recalls. These data can also be used to
examine the customer's warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a
service outlet or at your request as part of repair
or maintenance work.

USB flash drive or MP3 player. If you have entered

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.
