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

sonal data
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.

Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,the
electric mo tors are operated as an alternator when in
overrun mode and during braking in order
to charge the high-voltage battery while driving.
As soon as youre lease the accelerator pedal
when theve hicle is in motion, recuperation in
ove rrun mode is initiated.
The higher there cuperation, the more sharply the
ve hicle is braked when coasting and the more
electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage bat-
te ry.
The rege nerative brake system has thefo llowing
ch aracteristics:
R supports braking with elect ronically cont rolled
brake force boosting
R con verts th e kinetic energy of theve hicle into
elect ric energy
% Ifyo u brake hard, the mechanical brake is
also used. This means that the maximum
re cuperative energy cann otbe reco vered. The
more you drive and brake in an anticipatory
manner, the more e1cient lyenergy can be
re cuperated. Driving and parking
