Control via mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile de‐
vices connected to the vehicle, for instance
smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle
control elements. The sound and picture from
the mobile device can be played back and dis‐
played through the multimedia system. Certain
information is transferred to the mobile device at
the same time. Depending on the type of con‐
nection, 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.
There is no further interaction between the mo‐
bile device and the vehicle, for instance active
access to vehicle data. How the data will be
processed further is determined by the provider
of the particular app being used. The extent of
the possible settings depends on the respective
app and the operating system of the mobile de‐
vice.
Services
General information
If the vehicle has a wireless network connection,
this enables data to be exchanged between the
vehicle and other systems. The wireless network
connection is realized via an in-vehicle transmit‐
ter and receiver unit or via personal mobile devi‐
ces brought into the vehicle, for instance smart‐
phones. This wireless network connection
enables 'online functions' to be used. These in‐
clude online services and apps supplied by the
vehicle manufacturer or by other providers.
Services from the vehicle
manufacturer
Where online services from the vehicle manufac‐
turer are concerned, the corresponding functions
are described in the appropriate place, for in‐
stance the Owner's Manual or manufacturer's
website. The relevant legal information pertaining
to data protection is provided there too. Personal
data may be used to perform online services.
Data is exchanged over a secure connection,
for instance with the IT systems of the vehicle
manufacturer intended for this purpose. Any col‐
lection, processing, and use of personal data
above and beyond that needed to provide the
services must always be based on a legal per‐
mission, contractual arrangement or consent.
In addition, the vehicle manufacturer evaluates
anonymized information on transport infrastruc‐
ture and how the infotainment system is used.
This information cannot be traced back to indi‐
vidual vehicles or people. Evaluating the data en‐
ables the manufacturer to further improve its
products or services, for instance by incorporat‐
ing the most up-to-date traffic bulletins. The data
transfer feature can be deactivated in the vehicle.
Certain services and functions, some of which
are subject to a charge, can be deactivated by
the driver. It is also possible to activate or deacti‐
vate the data connection as a whole. That is, with
the exception of functions and services required
by law such as Assist systems.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other providers,
these services are the responsibility of the rele‐
vant provider and subject to their data privacy
conditions and terms of use. The vehicle manu‐
facturer has no influence on the content ex‐
changed 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 ob‐
tained from the relevant service provider.
Event Data Recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data re‐
corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand‐
ing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The
EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
