Vehicle Equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national and
special equipment provided in the model series.
Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is
also described, for example the selected special
equipment or national version. That also applies
to safety-relevant functions and systems.
Forward alert
Principle
The system warns as of approximately 15 km/h,
10 mph in two stages that there might be a dan‐
ger of collision. The time of these warnings may
vary depending on the current driving situation.
This considers vehicles in a similar direction of
movement if they are in the detection range of
the system.
When deliberately approaching a vehicle, the
collision warning is activated later to avoid dis‐
ruptive warnings.
Warning levels
Advance warning
Warning, for example if a danger of collision is
anticipated or there is a very short distance to a
vehicle ahead.
Acute warning
Warning in the event of an immediate collision if
the vehicle approaches another vehicle with rel‐
atively high differential speed.
Switching the warning function on/off
Press the button.
▷ On: LED is illuminated.
▷ Off: LED turns off.
The status is saved for the remote control cur‐
rently in use.
Configure warning time
After the warning function is switched on, the
warning time can be set using iDrive.
The selected warning time is saved for the re‐
mote control currently in use.
Display in the instrument cluster
The forward alert can be output in the instru‐
ment cluster, the Head-Up Display and acous‐
tically.
