Where you have a subscription with carbar for a vehicle, which is subject to the terms of a separate subscription agreement, the App allows you to view certain data and information about that vehicle and manage certain aspects of your subscription agreement. The App accesses and displays certain information about the vehicle(s) for which you have a subscription with carbar, based on data collected from a GPS unit fitted to the vehicle(s). This information may include location and tracking, health and diagnostics, maintenance and service warnings and reminders, fuel level, fuel usage and economy, trip information, other statistical information relating to fuel consumption, emissions and distances travelled, and other personal information of you
App Data

Content
. The Content may be generated and tailored for you based on App Data, for example you may receive a message when your vehicle is due for a routine service or maintenance.
