This is how the diagram works: Pick on one of the major automotive brands. Once the enlarged picture is up, follow the arrows. The arrows point to what the main company ownerships. Example: VW icon has a line drawn from VW with the arrow pointing at SEAT. VW owns SEAT. Here is an example if an automotive company that owns a percentage of another automotive group: GM icon shows a line to GM KOREA and along the line it shows 77% with an arrow pointing to GM KOREA. This demonstrates, “GM (the first icon) owns 77% (the number along the line) of GM KOREA(arrow pointing to)”. The filled squares at the end of the line represent a joint venture, license agreement or other types of agreements between two companies.
