Data memory
General information
Electronic control devices are installed in the
vehicle. Electronic control units process data
they receive from vehicle sensors, self-gener-
ate or exchange with each other. Some con-
trol units are necessary for the vehicle to func-
tion safely or provide assistance while driving,
for instance driver assistance systems. Fur-
thermore, control units facilitate comfort or in-
fotainment functions.
This information generally documents the
state of a component, a module, a system, or
the surrounding area, for instance:
▷
▷
▷
Operating states of system components
such as fill levels, tire pressure, battery sta-
tus.
Malfunctions and faults in important sys-
tem components, for instance lights and
brakes.
Information about stored or exchanged data
can be requested from the manufacturer of the
vehicle, in a separate booklet, for example.
Responses by the vehicle to special driving
situations such as airbag deployment or
engagement of the driving stability control
systems.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehi-
cle identification number. Depending on the
country, the vehicle owner can be identified
with the vehicle identification number, license
plate and corresponding authorities. In addi-
tion, there are other ways to associate data
collected from the vehicle with the driver or ve-
▷
Information on vehicle-damaging events.
The data is required to perform the control unit
functions. Furthermore, it also serves to detect
and correct malfunctions, and helps the vehicle
manufacturer to optimize vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is stored temporarily
and is only processed within the vehicle itself.

Information
NOTES
In some circumstances the vehicle may store
some data for an additional but limited period
of time.
▷
▷
Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated multi-
media system.
When servicing, for instance during repairs,
service processes, warranty cases, and quality
assurance measures, this technical informa-
tion can be read out from the vehicle together
with the vehicle identification number.
Address book data for use in conjunction
with an integrated hands-free system or an
integrated navigation system.
▷
▷
Entered navigation destinations.
Data on the use of Internet services.
An authorized service center or another quali-
fied service center or repair shop can read
out the information. The diagnostic socket re-
quired by law in the vehicle is used to read out
data.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle or
is found on a device that has been connected
to the vehicle, e.g., a smartphone, USB stick or
MP3 player. If this data is stored in the vehicle,
it can be deleted at any time.
The data is collected, processed, and used
by the relevant organizations in the service
network. The data documents technical condi-
tions of the vehicle, which can be used to de-
termine vehicle maintenance status, and facili-
tate quality improvement.
This data is only transmitted to third parties
upon personal request as part of the use of on-
line services. The transmission depends on the
selected settings for the use of the services.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Vehicle fault and event memories can be re-
set by an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop when
performing repair or servicing work.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile
devices connected to the vehicle, for instance
smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle
operating elements.
The sound and picture from the mobile devi-
ces can be played back and displayed through
the multimedia system. Certain information is
transferred to the mobile devices at the same
time. Depending on the type of incorporation,
this includes, for instance, position data and
other general vehicle information. This opti-
mizes the way in which selected apps, for in-
stance navigation or music playback, work.
Data entry and data transfer into
the vehicle
General information
Depending on the vehicle equipment, comfort
and individual settings can be stored in the
vehicle and modified or reset at any time.
For example, this includes:
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle such as active
access to vehicle data.
▷
Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
▷
Chassis and air conditioning settings.
How the data will be processed further is de-
termined by the provider of the particular app
being used. The extent of the possible settings
depends on the respective app and the operat-
ing system of the mobile device.
If necessary, data can be transferred to the en-
tertainment and communication system of the
vehicle, for instance via smartphone.
This includes the following depending on the
respective equipment:
