Depending on the equipment in the vehicle, this
includes, for example:
– Media files for playback of music, films or pho-
tos in an Infotainment system.
– Address book data for use with a hands-free
system or navigation system.
Vehicle fault information
Based on user complaints, repairman will collect
information reflecting complaints such as noise,
service fluid leakage, warning lights, hardware
defects and other information through photos,
videos or recordings of varying duration to sup-
port the analysis of your complaint.
Event Data Recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data re-
corder.
The event data recorder's main job is to record
data in accidents or situations similar to an acci-
dent, e.g. when an airbag is triggered or when
the vehicle collides with an obstacle on the road,
which then supports analysis of how a vehicle
system behaved. The event data recorder is in-
tended to record data relating to driving dynam-
ics and the restraint system for a short period of
10 seconds or less. Such as:
– How various systems in your vehicle have
functioned.
– Whether the driver and front passenger seat
belts were fastened/secured.
– The extent to which the driver pressed the
brake or accelerator pedal.
– How fast the vehicle was travelling.
This data helps to obtain a better understanding
of the circumstances in the situations where ac-
cidents and injuries have occurred.
Data from driver assist systems is also recorded.
In addition to information about whether the
systems were switched on or off, available only
to a restricted extent or inactive, it is also possi-
ble to determine whether these functions
steered, accelerated or braked the vehicle in the
above-described situations. Depending on the
vehicle equipment, these systems include the
following:

Owner's manual
– Adaptive cruise control
– Lane keeping system
– Emergency braking function
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if an
unusual situation similar to an accident occurs.
No data is recorded by the event data recorder
under normal driving conditions. In addition,no
personal data, e.g. name, gender, age or accident
location, is recorded. However, third parties such
as law enforcement agencies can use appropriate
means to link the content of the event data re-
corder with other sources of data and thus estab-
lish a reference to persons as part of an accident
investigation.
To read data from the event data recorder,
switch on the ignition and use special equipment
to access the vehicle or event data recorder
through the authorized diagnostic interface (on-
board diagnostics).For more information on ob-
taining the EDR data extraction tool, please call
4008-171-888.
Volkswagen will not access, read or process data
from the event data recorder unless the vehicle
keeper grants their permission.
Due to its legal product monitoring obligations,
Volkswagen is entitled to use the data for field
monitoring and also for research purposes and
quality improvements. For research purposes,
Volkswagen makes the data available to third
parties in anonymous form, in other words with-
out any reference to the individual vehicle or ve-
hicle keeper.
EDR trigger and coverage mechanism
When the vehicle records "transverse delta-V",
the EDR is triggered when there is a vehicle
speed change no less than 8 km/h within150 ms
in the X-axis direction or Y-axis direction. The
event is locked when irreversible restraint de-
ployment occurs.
If the EDR storage is insufficient, the current
event data will overwrite previous non-locked
event data in chronological order. Locked event
data will not be covered by subsequent events.
