Lane Departure Warning System
uses a camera to recognise whether
the vehicle is threatening to stray outside
the limits of the lane and alerts the
driver by making the steering wheel
vibrate.
BMW EfficientDynamics display.
As soon as the driver brakes or lifts
the right foot off the accelerator, Brake
Energy Regeneration converts the
vehicle’s redundant kinetic energy into
electric energy and feeds this into
the battery. This charging process is
indicated by a symbol in the rev counter
display.
Speed Limit Info
detects speed
limits and shows the driver the currently
applicable speed limit in the Info Display
or the optional Head-up Display (only
in conjunction with Navigation system
Professional*).
Lane Change Warning System
detects vehicles in the driver’s blind
spot and vehicles approaching at speed
in the adjacent lane when the driver
has activated the indicator in order to
change lanes. The system alerts the
driver by making the steering wheel
vibrate and by a visual warning on the
exterior mirror.
The
Head-up Display
projects relevant data, such as the current road speed,
directly into the driver’s field of vision. In addition, navigation instructions, functions
of the Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function, functions of the Lane
Departure Warning System, Speed Limit Info and Check Control as well as
warnings from BMW Night Vision with pedestrian recognition may be shown on
the display (not in conjunction with windscreen with grey shade band).
Park Assistant
makes parallel parking easier. When travelling at speeds below
km/h, the system measures any parking gaps the vehicle passes. When a big
enough gap has been found, the Park Assistant will do the steering, while the driver
continues to operate the accelerator and brake pedals. The sensor is harmoniously
integrated into the side indicator.
Rear view camera
shows a clear image of the area behind the vehicle on the
Control Display. Interactive tracking lines indicate for example whether or not the
intended parking space offers enough room for the vehicle. The rear view camera
is activated by engaging reverse gear.
Park Distance Control (PDC),
front and rear, facilitates the process of parking
and manoeuvring in confined spaces, giving you an acoustic signal for the distance
between your car and an obstacle, as well as a visual indication in the Control
Display.
Surround View
offers the driver a good view of the area directly around the
vehicle when manoeuvring. The BMW is represented as seen from above on
the Control Display. In addition, the optional rear view camera enhances visibility
when reversing at speeds below km/h, for example when parking. The Side
View function enhances visibility when joining a road from a side street or exit.
