Get Vehicle data recording and privacy Guide for Peugeot 408 4 Door Second Generation (2022-2026)

Vehicle data recording and privacy

► Information about events which have

Operating data in the

vehicle

Introduction

damaged the vehicle.

Electronic control units are installed in your

vehicle. These control units process data

received from the vehicle's sensors, for example,

or data they generate themselves or exchange

with each other. Some of these control units are

required for the correct operation of your vehicle,

some others assist you while driving (driving or

manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort

or infotainment functions.

► For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles,

the traction battery charge level and the

estimated driving range.

The control units process the data used for the

operation of the vehicle.

This data includes, for example:

- Exact mileage or timestamp of recorded events

(detection of internal malfunctions, activation of

specific systems, etc.), allowing to locate them in

time.

► Information about the state of the vehicle

(e.g. speed, travel time, lateral acceleration,

wheel rotation rate, fastened seat belts

display).

- Dynamic data recorded few seconds before

and after specific driving events, such as

accidents, collisions or activations of Advanced

Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): driving data

(e.g. speed, acceleration, steering angle, engine

speed, selected ratio on the gearbox, pedals

pressure), and potential very low-resolution

pictures of the sight in front of the vehicle

(only if ADAS Data Recorder (ADR) system is

activated).

The following contains general information about

how data is processed within the vehicle.

You will find additional information about the

specific data which is downloaded, stored and

transmitted to third parties and what it is

used for in your vehicle under the keyword

"Data protection". This information is directly

associated with the references for the functions

in question contained in the corresponding

vehicle handbook. These are also available in

the general terms of sale of the vehicle, in the

general terms of sale of connected services, or

online on brand website.

► Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature,

rain sensor, distance sensor).

As a general rule, this data is temporary, is

not stored for longer than one operating cycle

and is only used within the vehicle itself. The

control units often record this data (including the

vehicle's key). This function allows either the

temporary or permanent storage of information

about the state of the vehicle, stresses on

components, servicing requirements, as well as

events and technical errors.

In particular circumstances (e.g. if the vehicle

has detected a malfunction), it may be

necessary to record data which would otherwise

simply not be stored.

Technical data of the

vehicle

Maintenance and repair

activities

Personal reference

Each vehicle is identified by means of a

unique chassis number. Further options, such as

thevehicle's number plate, make it possible to

trace data on the keeper or driver of the vehicle.

The data generated or processed by control

units may therefore be personal, or be made

personal under certain conditions. Depending on

what vehicle data is available, conclusions may

be drawn on information such as your driving

behavior, your location or the route you travel, or

on your usage behavior.

When taking your vehicle in for servicing (e.g.

repairs, maintenance), the stored operating

data may be read along with the vehicle's

identification number and used if necessary.

The personnel working for the servicing network

(e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties

(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read

the vehicle's data. This also applies to work

carried out under warranty and quality assurance

measures.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the

data stored is as follows:

► Operating state of system components (e.g.

filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge

status).

► Faults and malfunctions in important system

components (e.g. lamps, brakes).

► System reactions in specific driving situations

(e.g. deployment of an airbag, triggering of

stability control and braking systems).

This data is generally read via the OBD (On-

Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to the

217

Vehicle data recording and privacy

vehicle. It is used to report on the technical

state of the vehicle or its components and

facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in

compliance with warranty obligations and for

quality improvement. This data, in particular the

information relating to stress on components,

technical events, operator errors and other

malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if

necessary, along with the vehicle's identification

number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be

engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the

operating data taken from the vehicle for product

recalls. This data may also be used to check the

customer's warranty and any claims made under

warranty.

are also recorded. Resolution of stored pictures

is too low to allow recognition of faces, to read

license plates, or to interpret panels on the

roadside.

exceptional cases, repairers do not own this

equipment.

For more information on the Event Data

Recording system, please refer to the "Safety"

section of this document

All this stored information can only be extracted

from your vehicle near a PEUGEOT-approved

repairer workshop, via a special equipment

connected by wire to the OBD port. This

can be done upon a request on your side

for ADAS explanation, or in the context of a

legal investigation concerning your vehicle. This

system only aims to provide explanatory context

of ADAS activations. Only activation of specific

ADAS systems can trigger it ; this system is

never directly triggered by detection of accidents

or collisions without ADAS activation. In case

where ADAS are deactivated, ADR system will

not record any data.

Comfort and infotainment

functions

Comfort settings and personalised settings may

be saved in the vehicle and modified or

reinitialised at any time.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, this

may include:

Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be

reset by an after-sales service company during

servicing or repair work, or at your request.

► Seat and steering wheel position settings.

► Chassis and air conditioning settings.

► Personalised settings such as the interior

lighting.

ADAS Data Recorder (ADR)

system

Event Data Recorder (EDR)

system

You can enter your own data into the functions

of your vehicle's audio and telematic system, as

part of the selected functionalities.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, this

may include:

Depending on its level of equipment, your

vehicle may be equipped with an ADAS Data

Recorder system that continuously process

pictures and driving data, and record them

inside your vehicle when specific Advanced

Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are triggered

(e.g. Intelligent emergency braking assistance,

interruption of a Semi-automatic lane changing,

where applicable). This system aims to provide

pieces of understanding for ADAS behaviour, by

collecting data every time ADAS are triggered.

Concerned data is greyed low-resolution pictures

of the sight in front of the vehicle and dynamic

driving data (e.g. speed, acceleration, steering

angle, brake pressure pedal, blinker status,

accelerator pedal position), both sampled every

seconds just before and just after the event.

Exact mileage and timestamping of the event

In addition, depending on country of sale and

upon legal obligations, your vehicle may also

be equipped with an Event Data Recorder

system that records data in case of accident

or collision, whatever the activation status of

your ADAS systems. Pursuant to the Regulation

(EU) 2022/545, EDR system is a legal obligation

inside Europe Market, and in other countries

bent to UN Regulation No 160 ; its purpose is to

freeze driving data when accidents or collisions

occur.

Contrary to the ADR system above described,

pictures of the scene are never recorded by EDR

system. Data can only be read through OBD port

via a special equipment that law enforcement

agencies may use to analyse the context of

an accident involving your vehicle. Except in

► Multimedia data such as music, videos

or photos to be read by an integrated

multimedia system.

► Address book data to be used with an

integrated hands-free system or with an

integrated navigation system.

► Entered destinations.

► Data regarding the use of online services.

This data for the comfort and infotainment

functions may be stored locally in the vehicle

or saved to a device that you have connected

to the vehicle (e.g. smartphone, USB memory

218

Vehicle data recording and privacy

stick or MP3 player). Data that you have entered

yourself may be deleted at any time.

This data may also be transmitted outside the

vehicle at your request, particularly when using

online services in line with the settings that you

have selected.

to the responsibility, the data protection and

the terms and conditions of use of the supplier

in question. The Manufacturer often has no

influence over the content exchanged in this

regard.

Please therefore ensure that you are aware of

the nature, extent and purpose of the collection

and use of personal data as part of the third-

party services provided by the service provider in

question.

Online services - "Over

The Air" connectivity

If your vehicle is connected to a wireless

network, data can be exchanged between your

vehicle and other systems.

Connection to a wireless network is made

possible via a transmitter located in your vehicle

or a mobile device that you have provided

(e.g. smartphone). The online services can be

used via this wireless connection. These include

online services and applications (apps) provided

to you by the Manufacturer or other suppliers.

Smartphone integration

(e.g. Android Auto® or

Apple® CarPlay®)

If your vehicle is equipped accordingly, you

can connect your smartphone or another mobile

device to the vehicle in order to operate it using

the vehicle's integrated controls. Images and

sounds from the smartphone can be transmitted

through the audio and telematics system.

Specific information is simultaneously sent to

your smartphone. Depending on the type of

integration, this includes data such as location,

day/night mode and other general information

about the vehicle. For more information, please

refer to the user instructions for the vehicle or

the audio and telematics system.

Integrating a smartphone allows you to use

its applications, such as a navigation app or

music player. No other integration between the

smartphone and the vehicle is possible, in

particular active access to vehicle data. How the

data is processed subsequently is determined

by the supplier of the application being used.

The ability the change settings depends on the

application in question and on the operating

system installed on your smartphone.

Protecting measures

against cyber attacks

Depending to the model, your vehicle may be

equipped with a system that detects cyber attack

attempts or unexpected events for cybersecurity

point of view . This system, when fitted inside the

vehicle, is working for the entire life cycle of the

vehicle.

Third-party services

When cybersecurity events are detected

(e.g. unexpected established connections with

unknown systems, unexpected reboots, and any

abn ormal system configurations), log files are

generated, temporally stored inside your vehicle

and then sent to the Manufacturer’s in fra

structures by "over the air“ connectivity. Those

log files are analysed by the Manufacturer’s

Security Operational Center (SOC) to define

appropriate measures protecting vehicles

from malicious interactions with electronical

components. Such measures could be the

deployment of software and firmware updates.

The purpose of this system is thus to enhance

cybersecurity measures settled inside vehicles.

It also directly participates to the securitization

of your vehicle’s connectivity and allows the

correct performance of online services activated

on your vehicle . Ways to exercise your Privacy

rights to this processing are described within the

country where you are driving. It doesn't matter

where you bought your vehicle or where it is

registered.

In accordance to Article 9 of Implementing

Regulation (EU) 2021/392 (“OBFCM”), this

regulatory service allows the European

Environment Agency (EEA) to collect vehicle

data related to usage (such as VIN, total

distance travelled, total fuel consumed, total grid

energy into battery when applicable).

These data are used by EEA to monitor in real

usage the fuel and energy consumption and

the CO2 emission of the new vehicles, in an

anonymized and aggregated way.

As mentioned in OBFCM regulation, the

CUSTOMER can refuse the collection and

transmission of vehicle’s data for regulatory

OBFCM purpose. This can be done by

contacting Customer Care Center (contact

information available on the brand website

available for your country).

In the event of a significant impact or a

serious accident recorded by the DEVICE on

the VEHICLE, with consequent shutdown of the

VEHICLE itself, a phone-call is automatically

forwarded from the VEHICLE to the respective

Public Emergency number (call to ‘112’ inside

Europe), together with the transmission of

the minimum data needed for identification

and location of the VEHICLE (i.e. your exact

location, the time of the accident, your vehicle's

identification number and direction of travel).

This information is only transmitted from your

vehicle in the event of a serious accident ;

it allows the Public Emergency Services to

assess and manage your situation. The Public

Emergency Services will act according to local

legislation and its own operating procedures.

Inside Europe, the 112- based eCall service is

a public service of general interest and should

therefore be accessible free of charge to all

consumers.

According to Regulation (EU) 2015/758, this

system is mandatory for all new types of vehicle

approved for manufacture after 31 March 2018.

The eCall system is only activated if your

vehicle is involved in a serious accident. The

rest of the time the system remains inactive.

This means that when you are simply driving

your vehicle, no permanent tracking (registering

your car's position or monitoring your driving) or

transmission of data takes place on behalf of this

regulatory service.

SLI - Speed Limit Information

This function will be provided for the entire life

cycle of the VEHICLE, only for vehicles sold

inside the Europe Market.

applicable speed limit on the road where driver

travels. SLI function aims to improve the safety

by allowing the vehicle to display in real time

applicable speed limit, even when external

conditions doesn’t not permit it (e.g. weather,

sign hidden by another vehicle). The applicable

speed limit is retrieved from the front camera of

the vehicle and maybe completed through Over-

The-Air communication system to improve the

reliability of information according to the vehicle

definition. To get valid speed limit information,

the vehicle's current position is sent via the

telematics unit and is immediately deleted after

processing. Tracking of the vehicle position is

not possible at any time. This is not impacted by

the privacy settings of the vehicle.

As required by the “GSR V2 Regulations”, this

SLI feature is activated by default at key on, but

can be partially deactivated at every time by the

user of the vehicle, given that the driver may cut

the audible warning function from the vehicle’s

settings available from the central touch screen.

This will not impact the visual warning function

that will stay active and may still require Over-

The-Air data transmission of current vehicle’s

position for accurate speed limit detection.

Depending on the model of your vehicle, it may

be possible to also fully cut the SLI function

(i.e. to stop speed limit detection and speed

limit warning function) from the central touch

screen, and thus cut the data transmission for

the current trip.
