BMW 5 Series: Limits of the system
The function of the Intersection Warning may be restricted because of system
limits or unfavorable
conditions in the following situations, for example:
- If there are other objects in the field of view of the sensors that are
concealing the cross traffic.
- Heavy fog, rain or snow.
- If the front bumper is dirty or iced up.
- If stickers have been attached near the radar sensors on the bumper.
- If the speed of the approaching vehicle is very high.
- If crossing objects are moving very slowly.
- If it is almost impossible to detect the crossing traffic because of the
way the road runs or
topographical conditions, for example in tight bends, building complexes in
the way etc.

The system does not replace the personal assessment of the road and the
traffic situation.
The Intersection Warning is only intended to assist the driver. There can be
functional limitations
because of system restrictions or unfavorable topographical conditions.
