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).

Concept
The automatic climate control achieves the set
temperature as quickly as possible, if needed, by
using the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Adjusting
Turn the wheel to set the
desired
temperature.
Do not rapidly switch between different
temperature settings
Safety information
Warning
High gross weight can overheat the tires, damage
them internally and cause a sudden drop in
tire inflation pressure. Driving characteristics
may be negatively impacted, reducing lane stability,
lengthening the braking distances and
changing the steering response. There is
