BMW 5 Series: Deactivation criteria
The Active Lane Keeping Assistant and Traffic Jam Assistant is deactivated
automatically
in the following situations:
- If the vehicle departs from the detected lane or the lane width does not
meet the
requirements.
- If the lane edges of the current lane are not detected by the KAFAS
stereo camera.
- If no vehicle driving ahead is detected.
- The vehicle is travelling at a speed greater than 130 mph (210 km/h).
- If the Hands-off-Detection cannot detect the hands (at least one hand)
on the steering wheel
rim. The system is switched off once a defined time threshold (several
seconds) has elapsed.
- Due to the radius of the bend in the road, the inner lane edge is no
longer detected due to the
camera aperture angle.
- Pedestrian protection assumes the operating condition "Fault exists".
- If the turn indicator is on.
- The driver intervenes actively in the steering.
- If over a certain time period no lane edges are detected and there is
not a vehicle
driving ahead.
- If the driver manually deactivates the DSC (DSC off).
- If there is an intervention from the preventative pedestrian protection.
- After Dynamic Brake Control braking (brake assistant).
Limits of the system
When driving in narrow lanes, e.g. when driving through construction zones or
when emergency lanes
are formed, the system cannot be activated or used meaningfully.

Due to the limited detection capacity of the KAFAS stereo camera, the
driver must remain alert and
observant in order to be able to actively intervene at any time so as to avoid
the risk of an accident.
The system does not relieve the driver of personal responsibility for correctly
judging the traffic
situation. The driver is solely responsible for the vehicle.

Often a collision with another vehicle (at the end of a traffic jam for
example) or obstacle can only
be prevented by an avoidance maneuver. Since the driver's response time plays a
decisive role in
An emergency avoidance maneuver takes place when a suddenly occurring
obstacle is detected in
front of the vehicle and the driver has to avoid this obstacle quickly and

Air Breathers are also used on the front fenders of the G30. The Air Breather
is an air outlet behind the
front wheel, which diverts the air flowing into the rear region of the wheel
well in a controlled manner
towards the fender in order to reduce turbulences in the wheel well area. As a
result,
