Control units process data which, for example,
they receive from vehicle sensors, generate
themselves or exchange between themselves.
Some control units are required for the safe
operation of your vehicle, some assist you when
driving, such as driver assistance systems, while
others enable comfort or infotainment functions.
The following provides you with general information
regarding data processing in the vehicle.
Additional information regarding exactly which
data in your vehicle are collected, saved and
transmitted to third parties and for what purpose,

this vehicle identification number can be
used by, for example, governmental authorities
to determine the identity of the owner...
