Mercedes-Benz GLC : Data processing in the vehicle / Legal requirements regarding the disclosure of data
If legally required to do so, manufacturers are, in
individual cases, legally obliged to provide governmental
entities, upon request and to the
extent required, data stored by the manufacturer.
For example, this may be the case during
the investigation of a criminal offense.
Governmental entities are themselves, in individual
cases and within the applicable legal framework,
authorized to read out data from the vehicle.
In the case of an accident, information that
can help with an investigation can, therefore, be
taken from the airbag control unit, for example.
Every vehicle is identified by a unique vehicle
identification number. Depending on the country,
this vehicle identification number can be
used by, for example, governmental authorities
to determine the identity of the owner...
This is data regarding the operation of the vehicle,
which have been processed by control units.
This includes the following data, for example:
Vehicle status information such as the speed,
longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration,
number of wheel revolutions or the fastened
seat belts display
Ambient conditions, such as temperature,
rain sensor or distance sensor
Generally, the use of these data is temporary;
they will not be stored beyond the period of
operation and will only be processed within the
vehicle itself...
Other information:
Climate control can be set centrally using the
synchronization function. The temperature and
air distribution settings for the driver's side will
be adopted automatically for the front passenger
side.
Press the
button.
The synchronization function will be deactivated
if the settings for one of the other climate control
zones are changed...
