Data protection
The permissibility of recording and using video
recordings 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.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
confirming there are no statutory or regulatory
constraints on use of the system in your state or
country prior to the initial use. In addition, the
laws with respect to use of the system should be
verified in regular intervals, especially when bor‐
ders are frequently crossed.

hicle.
