Using the “Privacy settings” function, it is possible to allow or prevent data transfer between the vehicle and internet in several
levels.
The “Privacy settings” function depends on the vehicle equipment and is not available with all Infotainment systems.
Please note that every vehicle user can adjust individual settings in the “Privacy settings” function. These settings may be different
from those preferred by the vehicle keeper.
If data transfer is restricted, online vehicle functions such as updates cannot be executed.
Data transfer by mobile devices and communication by these devices with the vehicle or legally required services, e.g. the
legally required eCall Emergency System, cannot be blocked or deactivated by the settings made in the “Privacy settings”
function.
The restrictions also apply to new online vehicle functions that are provided for the vehicle in future.
