BMW 5 Series: Cross Traffic Alert
The Cross Traffic Alert was used for the first time in the G12. This warning
assists the driver when
maneuvering out of a parking space and in other everyday situations where it is
difficult to see the
traffic, such as at blind entrances and exits.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the Cross Traffic Alert is available in the
G30 for rear or also for
the front.
The system can detect objects that are approaching the vehicle from the side,
either from the front or
rear (depending on the vehicle equipment). The driver is made aware or, if
necessary, warned of cross
traffic by the Cross Traffic Alert when maneuvering out of a parking space or
entering the cross traffic.
