The data
cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
Examples of information stored include:
R
the operating conditions of system compo-
nents, such as fluid levels
R
status messages concerning the vehicle and
its individual components, such as speed
and accelerator position
R
malfunctions and defects in key system
components, such as the lights and brakes
R
vehicle reactions and operating condi-
tions in specific driving situations,
such as deployment of an airbag
R
ambient conditions, such as outside tem-
perature
This data is purely technical in nature and is
used for the following:
R
to assist in the detection and elimination
of faults and defects
R
to analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an
accident has occurred
R
to optimise vehicle functions
This technical information is also read out
for the following services:
R
repair work
R
service work
R
warranty claims
R
quality assurance
The readout is handled by service network
staff (including the manufacturer) with the
help of special diagnostic testers. You can
obtain more information there, if required.
After the fault has been rectified, the infor-
mation is cleared in the fault memory or is
sequentially overwritten.
During vehicle operation, certain situations
may arise in which this technical data - in
conjunction with other information and, if
applicable, after consultation with an
approved assessor - may be linked to an indi-
vidual person.
Examples of this include:
R
accident reports
R
vehicle damage
R
witness evidence
Additional functions that have been contrac-
tually agreed upon with the customer also
make it
possible to transmit particular vehi-
cle data from the vehicle, such as the vehicle
location in the event of an emergency.
