Data from driver assist systems is also recorded. In addition to information about whether the systems were switched on or off,
available only to a restricted extent or inactive, it is also possible to determine whether these functions steered, accelerated or braked
the vehicle in the above-described situations. Depending on the vehicle equipment, these systems include the following:
—Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
—Lane keeping system (Lane Assist).
—Park Assist.
—Emergency braking functions (Front Assist).
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Volkswagen will not access, read or process data from the event data recorder unless the vehicle keeper grants their permission.
Exceptions to this are contractual or legal provisions.
Due to its legal product monitoring obligations, Volkswagen is entitled to use the data for field monitoring and also for research
purposes and quality improvements. For research purposes, Volkswagen makes the data available to third parties in anonymous form,
in other words without any reference to the individual vehicle or vehicle keeper.
The aerials for the Infotainment system are installed at different points in the vehicle:
—On the inside of the rear window.
—On the inside of the windscreen.
—On the roof of the vehicle.
Aerials on the interior of the windows can be identified as thin conductors.
NOTICE
Aerials located on the inside of the windows could be damaged by corrosive or acidic substances or if hard objects rub against the
window.
● Do not affix any stickers over metal conductors, e.g. in the area of the rear window.
● Never clean the aerials with corrosive or acidic agents.
NOTICE
A retrofitted Infotainment system that is not compatible with the aerial amplifier fitted as standard can damage the aerial amplifier.
● Consult a suitably qualified workshop before retrofitting an Infotainment system. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised
Volkswagen repairer.
