BMW 5 Series: Concept, General information, Safety information
Concept
The system may prevent some accidents. In the event of an accident, the system may reduce impact speed.
The system sounds a warning before an imminent collision and activates brakes independently, if needed.
General information
Depending on the equipment version, the system is controlled by the following sensors:
- Camera in the area of the interior mirror.
- Radar sensor in the front bumper.
Intersection collision warning when equipped with a radar sensor: in addition, a warning is issued at intersections and junctions if a risk of collision with crossing traffic is detected.
The approach control warning is available even if cruise control has been deactivated.
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle intentionally, the approach control warning and braking are delayed in order to avoid false system reactions.
The system issues a two-phase warning of a possible risk of collision with vehicles at speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. The timing of warnings may vary with the current driving situation.
Detection range
Objects that the system can detect are taken into account.
Intersection collision warning: the system is also able to detect vehicles crossing your direction of travel when these vehicles enter into the detection range of the system.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment in assessing visibility and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment. Due to its limits, the system may not issue warnings or reactions, or these may be issued late or in a manner that is not consistent with their normal use. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
Due to system limits, individual functions can malfunction during tow-starting/towing with the Intelligent Safety systems activated. There is a risk of accident. Switch all Intelligent Safety systems off prior to tow-starting/towing.
