This vehicle has a number of
sophisticated systems that monitor
and control several types of vehicle
data. Some data may be stored
during regular operation to facilitate
repair of detected malfunctions.
Other data is stored only in a crash
or near crash event by modules in
the vehicle systems that have an
event data recording function, such
as the airbag control module.
The systems may record diagnostic
data about the condition of the
vehicle, such as oil level or vehicle
mileage, and information about how
it was operated, such as engine
speed, brake application, and
safety belt usage.
To read this data, special equipment
and access to the vehicle is
required. Some diagnostic data may
be electronically fed into global

Customer Information

systems when the vehicle is
serviced by an authorised repairer,
in order to document the service
history of the vehicle. This enables
the authorised repairers to offer
efficient maintenance and repair,
tailored to the individual vehicle
each time the vehicle is brought
to the repairer.
The manufacturer will not access
the driver behaviour-related
information about a crash event or
share it with others except:
.
With the consent of the vehicle
owner or, if the vehicle is leased,
with the consent of the lessee.
.
In response to an official request
by police or similar government
office.
.
As part of the manufacturer
defence in case of legal
proceedings.

As required by law.
