BMW 5 Series: Intersection Warning
Intersections are some of the most likely points for accidents in urban
traffic. Statistics tell us that
approximately one accident in three, with injury to persons, occurs at an
intersection. Accidents here
can largely be attributed to distraction or poor estimation by the drivers.
The Intersection Warning is installed for the first time in the G30 and can make
a major contribution to
safety.
The driver is warned both visually and audibly in the event of a risk of a
collision with crossing traffic.
This can significantly reduce the likelihood of an accident or even the severity
of an accident at
intersections.
Intersection Warning is an integral part of the Active Driving Assistant Plus,
optional equipment
(OE 5AT).
