General

Control units are installed in

cess data that they receive, for

example, from vehicle sensors,

or that they generate them-

selves or exchange between

are required for the vehicle to

function safely or provide as-

sistance during riding, for ex-

ample assistance systems. In

addition, control units enable

comfort or infotainment func-

tions.

Information on data that has

been stored or exchanged can

be obtained from the manufac-

turer of the vehicle, for example

via a separate booklet.
