period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
In addition, data from the driver assistance systems is also collected. In addition to information about whether these systems
were switched on or off, had limited availability, or were inactive, it can also be understood if these functions steered,
accelerated, or braked the vehicle in the situations listed above. Depending on the vehicle equipment, systems may include:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
Lane Assist
Park Assist.
Parking systems
Autonomous Emergency Braking Function (Front Assist)
NOTE: EDRdata 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 the Event Data Recorder (EDR) data unless the vehicle owner gives permission.
This excludes contractual or legal regulations.
Due to the legal obligation to monitor products, Volkswagen is allowed to use data for field observation as well as for research
purposes and quality improvement of vehicle safety systems. For research purposes, Volkswagen provides the data to third
parties in an anonymous format. This means the data does not reference the individual vehicle or the vehicle owner.
Infotainment system and aerials
The aerials for the Infotainment system are fitted in various places in the vehicle:
On the inside of the rear window.
On the inside of the rear side windows
On the inside of the windshield
On the roof of the vehicle
Antennas on the inside of the window glass can be detected as thin wires.
NOTICE
Antennas that are located on the inside of the window glass can be damaged by abrasive objects or by corrosive and
acidic materials.
Never apply stickers over metal wires, for example on the rear window.
Never clean the antennas with corrosive or acidic materials.
