The
following pr ovides you with general informa-
tion rega rding data processing in theve hicle.
Ad ditional information rega rding exactly which
data in your vehicle are collected, sa ved and
transmitted tothird parties, and for what purpose,
can be found in the information directly related to
th e functional characteristics in question in their
re specti veoperating instructions. This information
is also available online and, depending on the

Every vehicle is identi/ed bya unique vehicle
identi/cation number. Depending on the countr y,
th is vehicle identi/cation number can be used by,
fo rex ample, go vernmental authorities todeter-
mine the identity of theow ner. There are other
possibilities touse data collected from theve hicle
to identify theow ner or driver, such as the licence
plate number.
Therefore, data generated or processed bycont rol
units may be attributable toa person or, under
cer tain conditions, become attributable toa per-
son. Depending on which vehicle data are availa-
ble, it may be possible tomake inferences about, fo
rex ample, your driving behaviour, your location,
yo ur route or your use patterns.

Co mp onents in there straint system ma y be
acti vated unintentionally or not deploy as plan-
ned in an accident. In theev ent of an acci-
dent, the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
te m may not be deactivated as intended. Yo

estrtraint syst
aint syst em in an accident
em in an accident How
there straint system works depends on the
se verity of the impact de tected and the apparent
type of accident:
R Frontal impact
R Rear impact
R Side impact
R Rollover
The activation thre sholds forth e components of
th ere straint system are de term ined based on the
ev aluation of the sensor values measured at vari-
ous points in theve hicle. This process is pre-e mp-
tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of thecomponents of
there straint system must take
place in good time at the start of the collision.
Fa ctors which can only be seen and measured
aTer a collision has occur red cannot play a deci-
sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they pro-
vide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed signi/cantly without
an airbag being deplo yed. This is the case if only
parts which are relatively easily deformed are
a.ec tedand thera te of vehicle deceleration is
not high. Con versely, an airbag may be depl oyed
ev en though theve hicle su.ers only minor defor-
mation. If very rigid vehicle parts such as longitu-
dinal membe rsare hit, this may result in su1-
ciently high le vels of vehicle deceleration.
Depending on the de tected deployment situation,
th e components of there straint system can be
acti vated or deplo yed independently of each
ot her:
R Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear
impact, side impact, rollo ver
R Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal

R Knee airbag: frontal impact Occupant saf

PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS can implement thefo llowing
measures independently of each other:
R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
and front passenger seat.
R Activating there ar hazard warning lights at a
higher 0ashing frequency.
R Increasing brake pressure when theve hicle is
stationar y.This brake application is cancelled
automatically when theve hicle pulls away.
If an accident did not occur, the pre-em ptive
measures that we re ta ken are reve rsed.

Depending on the accident situation, the post-col-

If an accident is de tected, the post-collision brake
can implement automatic braking. When theve hi-

brake is automatically applied.
