possibilities touse data collected from theve hicle
to identify theow ner or driver, such as the licence

Therefore, data generated or processed bycont rol
units may be attributable toa person or, under

son. Depending on which vehicle data are availa-
ble, it may be possible tomake inferences about, fo
rex ample, your driving behaviour, your location,

ARNING Risk of an accident caused by a
malfunction in BAS(Brake Assist System)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emer gency braking situation is
increased. #
Dep ress the brake pedal with full forc e in
emer gency braking situations. ABS pre-
ve nts the wheels from locking. The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports
your
emer gency braking situation with additional brake
fo rc e.
If yo u depress the brake pedal quickl y,BAS is
activated:
R BAS automatically boosts the brake pressure.
R BAS can shor tenth e braking distance.
R ABS pr events the wheels from locking.

If th eve hicle deviates from the direction desired

Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the

Increase recuperation in good time on long and
steep downhill gradients. Take particular no teof
th is when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you
will make use of the electric mo tor's braking

ve hicle accelerates or brakes depending on the
distance totheve hicle in front and the set speed.
The speed (from 20 km/h) and the distance to
