BMW 5 Series: Functional principle
If a moving object is detected, which based on the current speed would be in the area in front of or behind the vehicle in approximately the next two seconds, a visual and acoustic warning is issued.
When a Cross Traffic Alert Rear is issued, the LED in the mirror glass is also switched on. The Blind Spot Detection signal unit is used as an indicator. The indicator is switched on in either the left or right mirror depending on the direction from which the object is approaching the vehicle.
The Cross Traffic Alert works up to a speed of approximately 4 mph (7 km/h). Another prerequisite of the function is that the side radar sensors are able to detect the road or approaching object. The radar sensors can detect objects up to a maximum of 262 ft (80 m) away from the vehicle.

G30 Cross Traffic Alert Rear: maneuvering out of a parking space
Cross Traffic Alert Rear
The Cross Traffic Alert Rear assists the driver when reversing out of a parking space and warns of potential collisions with cross traffic in traffic situations where it is difficult to see obstructions.
The Cross Traffic Alert Rear is included in the Active Driving Assistant, optional equipment (OE 5AS), scope of supply.
The warning is displayed in the Park Distance Control image on the Central Information Display.
In conjunction with the rear view camera, optional equipment (OE 3AG), the Cross Traffic Alert Rear will be extended to include an additional display on the Central Information Display. The warning will be shown in the form of a red bar in the camera's video screen.
The Cross Traffic Alert Rear is enabled if the driver engages the "R" drive position or the Park Distance Control is active.
In vehicles with the Parking Assistant Plus, optional equipment (OE 5DN), the Cross Traffic Alert Rear is also enabled if Panorama View has been activated.
The Cross Traffic Alert Rear is available at speeds up to approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
Cross Traffic Alert Front
The Cross Traffic Alert Front assists the driver when entering the cross traffic from exits and blind intersections.
The Cross Traffic Alert Front is included in the Active Driving Assistant Plus, optional equipment (OE 5AT), scope of supply. If the Cross Traffic Alert for the front of the vehicle is installed, the rear version is activated automatically.
The warning is displayed in the Park Distance Control image on the Central Information Display.
The Cross Traffic Alert Front is enabled if the Park Distance Control is active and the speed of the vehicle does not exceed approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
In vehicles with the Parking Assistant Plus, optional equipment (OE 5DN), the Cross Traffic Alert Front is also enabled if Panorama View has been activated.
Like the Cross Traffic Alert Rear, the Cross Traffic Alert Front function is available at speeds up to approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
