Information
NOTES
If the vehicle is not maintained or is improperly
maintained, this could result in serious dam-
age to the vehicle.
▷
▷
Status messages for the vehicle and its
individual components, e.g., wheel RPM,
wheel speed, deceleration, lateral accelera-
tion, engaged seat belt indicator.
A failure to maintain the vehicle or improper
maintenance may affect your warranty cover-
age. Please consult the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty Booklet for further information on
warranty matters.
Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature, rain
sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the
vehicle itself while the vehicle is being oper-
ated. Data is not stored beyond the operating
time.
Refer to section on engine oil change re-
garding recommended service intervals for oil
changes.
Electronic components, e.g. control units and
vehicle keys, contain components for storing
technical information. Information about the
vehicle condition, component usage, mainte-
nance recommendations, events or faults can
be stored temporarily or permanently.
Data memory
General information
This information generally documents the
state of a component, a module, a system, or
the surrounding area, for instance:
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.
▷
▷
▷
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.

Information on vehicle-damaging events.
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-
hicle owner, e.g., the ConnectedDrive account
used.
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.
In some circumstances the vehicle may store
some data for an additional but limited period
of time.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile
devices connected to the vehicle, for instance
smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle
operating elements.
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.
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.
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle such as active
access to vehicle data.
For example, this includes:
▷
Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
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.
▷
Chassis and climate control settings.
If necessary, data can be transferred to the en-
tertainment and communication system of the
vehicle, for instance via smartphone.
Services
This includes the following depending on the
respective equipment:
General information
▷
Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated multi-
media system.
If the vehicle has a wireless network connec-
tion, it will enable data to be exchanged be-
tween the vehicle and other systems. The
wireless network connection is realized via an
in-vehicle transmitter and receiver unit or via
personal mobile devices brought into the ve-
hicle, for instance smartphones. This wireless
network connection enables 'online functions'
▷
Address book data for use in conjunction
with an integrated hands-free system or an
integrated navigation system.

in understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to the driving dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short time: max. 30 seconds, typi-
cally less.
Services from the vehicle manufacturer
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
the following data, for example:
Where online services from the vehicle man-
ufacturer are concerned, the corresponding
functions are described in the appropriate
place, for instance the Owner's Manual or
manufacturer's web page. The relevant legal
information pertaining to data protection may
also be found on the manufacturer’s website.
Personal data may be used to perform online
services. Data is exchanged over a secure con-
nection, for instance with the IT systems of the
vehicle manufacturer intended for this purpose.
▷

▷
▷
How various systems in the vehicle were
operating.
Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were fastened.
How far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better un-
derstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
Any collection, processing, and use of personal
data above and beyond that needed to pro-
vide the services must always be based on a
legal permission, contractual arrangement or
consent. It is also possible to activate or deac-
tivate the data connection as a whole. This ex-
cludes functions and services required by law
such as Assist systems.
EDR data is recorded by the vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is re-
corded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data, for instance name,
gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties such as law enforce-
ment could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other provid-
ers, these services are the responsibility of the
relevant provider and subject to their data pri-
vacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle
manufacturer has no influence on the content
exchanged during this process. Information on
the way in which personal data is collected and
used in relation to services from third parties,
the scope of such data, and its purpose, can
be obtained from the relevant service provider.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as law
enforcement that have the special equipment
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
