Concept
The

stores
brief

recordings
of
the
surrounding
area
of
the
vehicle,
e.g.,
to
docu#j ment

Additionally,
the

are
stored
for
the

'xDate.'xTime.'xVehicle

There
are
various

Data
protection The
permissibility
of
recording

using
video
recordings
is
contingent
upon
the
statutory

lations
of
the
country
in
which
the
system
is
to
be
used.
The
user
is
responsible
for
the
use
of
the
system
and
compliance
with
the
respective
regulations.
The
manufacturer
of
the
vehicle
recommends confirming
there
are
no
statutory
or

constraints
on
use
of
the
system
in
your
state
or
country
prior
to
the
initial
use.
In

the
laws
with
respect
to
use
of
the
system
should
be
verified
in
regular
intervals,
especially
when
bor#j
ders
are
frequently

Other
drivers
of
the

m
iBrake
Concept
In
the
event
of
an
accident,
the
system
can
bring
the
vehicle
to
a
halt
automatically
without
inter#j
vention
by
the
driver
in
certain
situations.
This
can
reduce
the
risk
of
a
further
collision
and
the
consequences
thereof.
At

After
coming
to
a
halt,
the
brake
is
released
auto#j matically.
Harder

braking
In
certain
situations,
it
can
be
necessary
to
bring
the
vehicle
to
a
halt
more
quickly
than
the
Brake Assistant
allows.
To
do
this,
quickly
apply
extra
force
to
the
brake. For
a
brief
period,
the
braking
pressure
will
be
higher
than
the
braking
pressure
that
is
achieved by
the

function.
