Data Storage Modules in the
Vehicle
A large number of electronic
components of your vehicle contain
data storage modules temporarily or
permanently storing technical data
about the condition of the vehicle,
events, and errors. In general, this
technical information documents the
condition of parts, modules,
systems, or the environment:
Operating conditions of system
components (e.g., filling levels).
Status messages of the vehicle
and its single components (e.g.,
number of wheel revolutions/
rotational speed, deceleration,
lateral acceleration).
Dysfunctions and defects in
important system components.

Customer Information

Vehicle reactions in particular
driving situations (e.g., inflation
of an airbag, activation of the
stability regulation system).
Environmental concerns (e.g.,
temperature).
This data is exclusively technical
and helps identify and correct errors
as well as optimise vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with
this data.
If services are used (e.g., repair
works, service processes, warranty
cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data
storage modules applying special
diagnostic devices. If required, you
will receive further information at
these workshops. After an error has
been corrected, the data is deleted
from the error storage module or
constantly overwritten.
