Event data recorders

11

Recording event data

Electronic control units are installed in your 

vehicle. These control units process data 

received from the vehicle's sensors, for example, 

or data they generate themselves or exchange 

with each other. Some of these control units are 

required for the correct operation of your vehicle, 

some others assist you while driving (driving or 

manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort 

or infotainment functions.

The following contains general information about 

how data is processed within the vehicle.

You will find additional information about the 

specific data which is downloaded, stored 

and transmitted to third parties and what it is 

used for in your vehicle under the keyword 

"Data protection". This information is directly 

associated with the references for the functions 

in question contained in the corresponding 

vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and 

conditions of sale.

This information is also available online.

Vehicle operating data

The control units process the data used for the 

operation of the vehicle. 

This data includes, for example: 

–  Information about the state of the vehicle (e.g. 

speed, travel time, lateral acceleration, wheel 

rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). 

–  Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, 

rain sensor, distance sensor). 

As a general rule, this data is temporary, is 

not stored for longer than one operating cycle 

and is only used within the vehicle itself. The 

control units often record this data (including the 

vehicle's key). This function allows either the 

temporary or permanent storage of information 

about the state of the vehicle, stresses on 

components, servicing requirements, as well as 

events and technical errors. 

Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the 

data stored is as follows: 

–  Operating state of system components (e.g. 

filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge 

status). 

–  Faults and malfunctions in important system 

components (e.g. lamps, brakes). 

–  System reactions in specific driving situations 

(e.g. deployment of an airbag, triggering of 

stability control and braking systems). 

–  Information about events which have 

damaged the vehicle. 

–  For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles, 

the traction battery charge level and the 

estimated driving range. 

In particular circumstances (e.g. if the vehicle 

has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary 

to record data which would otherwise simply not 

be stored. 

When taking your vehicle in for servicing (e.g. 

repairs, maintenance), the stored operating 

data may be read along with the vehicle's 

identification number and used if necessary. 

The personnel working for the servicing network 

(e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties 

(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read 

the vehicle's data. This also applies to work 

carried out under warranty and quality assurance 

measures. 

This data is generally read via the OBD 

(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to 

the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical 

state of the vehicle or its components and 

facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in 

compliance with warranty obligations and for 

quality improvement. This data, in particular the 

information relating to stress on components, 

technical events, operator errors and other 

malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if 

necessary, along with the vehicle's identification 

number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be 

engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the 

operating data taken from the vehicle for product 

recalls. This data may also be used to check the 

customer's warranty and any claims made under 

warranty. 

Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be 

reset by an after-sales service company during 

servicing or repair work, or at your request. 

202

Event data recorders

Comfort and infotainment 

functions

Comfort settings and personalised settings 

may be saved in the vehicle and modified or 

reinitialised at any time. 

Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, this 

may include: 

–  Seat and steering wheel position settings. 

–  Chassis and air conditioning settings. 

–  Personalised settings such as the interior 

lighting. 

You can enter your own data into the functions 

of your vehicle's audio and telematic system, as 

part of the selected functionalities. 

Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, this 

may include: 

–  Multimedia data such as music, videos or 

photos to be read by an integrated multimedia 

system. 

–  Address book data to be used with an 

integrated hands-free system or with an 

integrated navigation system. 

–  Entered destinations. 

–  Data regarding the use of online services. 

This data for the comfort and infotainment 

functions may be stored locally in the vehicle 

or saved to a device that you have connected 

to the vehicle (e.g. smartphone, USB memory 

stick or MP3 player). Data that you have entered 

yourself may be deleted at any time. 

This data may also be transmitted outside the 

vehicle at your request, particularly when using 

online services in line with the settings that you 

have selected. 

Smartphone integration 

(e.g. Android Auto® or 

Apple® CarPlay®)

If your vehicle is equipped accordingly, you can 

connect your smartphone or another mobile 

device to the vehicle in order to operate it using 

the vehicle's integrated controls. Images and 

sounds from the smartphone can be transmitted 

through the audio and telematics system. 

Specific information is simultaneously sent to 

your smartphone. Depending on the type of 

integration, this includes data such as location, 

day/night mode and other general information 

about the vehicle. For more information, please 

refer to the user instructions for the vehicle or the 

audio and telematics system.

Integrating a smartphone allows you to use 

its applications, such as a navigation app or 

music player. No other integration between 

the smartphone and the vehicle is possible, in 

particular active access to vehicle data. How the 

data is processed subsequently is determined 

by the supplier of the application being used. 

The ability the change settings depends on the 

application in question and on the operating 

system installed on your smartphone. 

Online services

If your vehicle is connected to a wireless 

network, data can be exchanged between 

your vehicle and other systems. Connection 

to a wireless network is made possible via a 

transmitter located in your vehicle or a mobile 

device that you have provided (e.g. smartphone). 

The online services can be used via this wireless 

connection. These include online services and 

applications (apps) provided to you by the 

Manufacturer or other suppliers. 

Exclusive services

As regards the Manufacturer's online services, 

the corresponding functions are described by 

the Manufacturer in an appropriate medium 

(e.g. handbook, Manufacturer's website) and the 

information about data protection is provided. 

Personal data may be used for online services. 

The exchange of data for this purpose takes 

place over a secure connection, using for 

example the Manufacturer's dedicated computer 

systems. The collection, processing and use of 

personal data for the development of services 

are carried out solely on the basis of a legal 

authorisation, for example in the case of a 

legal emergency call system or a contractual 

agreement or else under a consent agreement. 

You can activate or deactivate the services and 

functions (some may be chargeable) and, in 

some cases, the vehicle's entire connection to 

the wireless network. This does not include the 

203

Event data recorders

11

statutory functions and services such as the 

emergency or assistance call system. 

Third-party services

If you use online services provided by other 

(third-party) suppliers, these services are subject 

to the responsibility, the data protection and 

the terms and conditions of use of the supplier 

in question. The Manufacturer often has no 

influence over the content exchanged in this 

regard. 

Please therefore ensure that you are aware of 

the nature, extent and purpose of the collection 

and use of personal data as part of the third-

party services provided by the service provider 

in question.
