Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the vehi-
cle.
For example, this includes:
Status messages for the vehicle and its
individual components, e.g., wheel RPM,
wheel speed, deceleration, lateral accelera-
tion, engaged seat belt indicator.
Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature, rain
sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the
vehicle itself and is generally volatile. The data
is not stored beyond the operating period.
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.
This information generally documents the
state of a component, a module, a system, or
the surrounding area, for instance:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fault and event memories in the vehicle can
be reset when an authorized service center or
another qualified service center or repair shop
performs repair or servicing 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.
For example, this includes:
Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
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.
This includes the following depending on the
respective equipment:
Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated multi-
media system.
Address book data for use in conjunction
with an integrated hands-free system or an
integrated navigation system.
