Data protection
data on the occupants or the accident location
will be stored. It is possible, however, that third
parties, e.g. law enforcement agencies, may cor-
relate the stored data with personal data as part
of an accident investigation.
– If the vehicle keeper or lessee gives their per-
mission; or
– If the police have made an official request; or
– If ordered to do so by a court of law or govern-
ment agency.
Reading out data from the EDR memory requires
special devices and access to the vehicle or the
EDR. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
third parties such as law enforcement agencies
can also read out and analyse the stored data,
provided that they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR. Audi will not access the recorder re-
motely.
Audi may, insofar as this is legally permitted, al-
so use the data for analysis with respect to vehi-
cle operation and safety performance, or may
provide the data to third parties for research pur-
poses.

Memory for automated driving
Applies to: vehicles with memory for automated driving
Assist system monitor
Data are stored in a memory in the vehicle while
the park assist plus ðpage 233 is active. The da-
ta are encrypted and are continuously overwrit-
ten by more recent data every few seconds. The
data are deleted when the ignition is switched
off.
This vehicle is equipped with an assist system
monitor (ASM) which collects data not stored by
the EDR in the event of an accident. The main
purpose of the ASM is to make it possible to re-
construct the role and behaviour of driver assist
systems in accident situations. In addition to the
data stored by the EDR, the ASM stores data rela-
ted to the driver assist systems from a period of a
few seconds before an accident or near-accident
situation. The data recorded by the ASM will de-
pend on the vehicle’s equipment and may com-
prise information such as: status information
from the driver assist systems (e.g. switched on/
off, system events etc.), regulating input (e.g.
from ESC, ABS, Audi pre sense etc.) and driver as-
sist system settings (e.g. speed settings).
In certain situations, for instance if an airbag has
been deployed or a parking manoeuvre has been
completed, the corresponding technical data are
stored in the memory for automated driving. The
data storage system for automated driving is a
non-volatile storage medium with limited stor-
age capacity. When the memory is full, the oldest
data are overwritten by the most recent data.
Exporting data
You can retrieve the data from the memory for
automated driving and export the data to a USB
stick. The settings depend on the equipment fit-
ted in your vehicle.
Reading out data from the ASM memory requires
special devices and access to the vehicle or the
ASM. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
third parties such as law enforcement agencies
can also read out and analyse the stored data,
provided that they have access to the vehicle or
the ASM.
Important: The vehicle must be stationary, the
automated systems must not be active and the
ignition must be switched on. A USB stick must
be connected to the USB input.
Use of data
►
Applies to MMI: On the home screen, select:
SETTINGS > Data management > Statistics.
Follow the instructions given by the MMI.
Audi can read out or provide third parties with
the information stored in the data recorders or
other similar data in the following circumstances
in particular:
►
The export will be aborted if, for instance, you
switch to a different menu.

The availability of the system may be restricted in certain
countries.
