Data protection
More information on the scope and content of
data processing is available on the Internet in
the ConnectedDrive privacy notices/service de-
scriptions.
General information
The permissibility of recording and using re-
cordings is contingent upon the statutory regu-
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.
Occupying the seats
The interior camera is also used for the detec-
tion of occupied seats.
When all doors are closed, the interior camera
switches on automatically on a regular basis.
This system analyzes the vehicle interior to
detect which seats are occupied. No media
recordings are made in the process. Two in-
frared light sources next to the camera lens
illuminate while the interior camera is active.
Depending on the lighting conditions, the infra-
red light sources may be visible.
The vehicle manufacturer recommends that
you verify there are no statutory or regulatory
restrictions on using the system in your region
or country prior to initial use. In addition, the
laws with respect to use of the system should
be verified in regular intervals, especially when
borders are frequently crossed.
Other users and occupants of the vehicle must
be informed about the system. In addition, in-
formation about the system is required when
handing off the vehicle.
