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

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-
