Cyber security
Cyber security refers to measures designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access by malware or an internet
attack on vehicle functions, data and control units. In the vehicle, connectivity components in particular are
affected by unauthorised access or internet attacks.
Connectivity components are control units for data transmission, interfaces, media and diagnostic connections via
which information and data can be exchanged between the vehicle and external devices or the internet.
Connectivity components are equipped with security mechanisms that minimise the risk of unauthorised access to
vehicle systems.
The connectivity components include the following in particular:
—Diagnostic socket.
—Control unit with embeddedeSIM
card.
—Mobile phone interface.
—App-Connect.
—Wi-Fi
hotspot.
—NFC
radio technology.
—AUX
-IN socket.
—Bluetooth® interface.
—CD/DVD drive.
—USB
port.
—SD
card slot.
—SIM
card slot.
The type and number of connectivity components present in your vehicle depend on the equipment and
country.
Software and security mechanisms
The software and security mechanisms in the vehicle are subject to continuous further development. Like with
computers or the operating systems of mobile telephones, the software and security mechanisms in the vehicle may
also be updated at irregular intervals.
System updates improve the security, stability and running speeds of the vehicle systems. A system update is a
preventive measure to optimise functionality and protect against malware, for example.
The software of control units in the vehicle is updated with a system update.
There are two options for updating your vehicle, depending on vehicle and country:
—System update by a suitably qualified workshop.
—System update via an over-the-air update.
