Perhaps they wipe down the seats and feed it into a machine when doing "routine maintenance" at a dealership or licensed repair shop?

Or is it...this is in case they are asked to allow DNA collection from your car while being serviced without a warrant based on request from law enforcement.

I am assuming it doesn't go that far and is referring more towards eye/hair/skin color...maybe just a CYA in case they "accidentally" collect info that could be identifying on a level not allowed (discrimination/privacy laws?).
