BMW 3 SERIES 2018 Owners Manual

Manual transmission: during a braking interjvention up to a complete stop, the engine may
be shut down.
The braking intervention occurs only if vehicle stability has not been restricted, for instance
by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability
Control.
The driver may cancel the braking intervention
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by acj tively moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Follow the
limitations of the detection range and funcj
tional restrictions.

Safety
information WARNING
The system can react not at all, too late,
incorrectly, or without justification due to the system limits. There is a risk of accidents or
risk of damage to property. Follow the informaj
tion regarding the system limits and actively intervene, if needed.'

With the vehicle approaching another vehicle
intentionally, the approach control warning and
braking are delayed in order to avoid false sysj
tem reactions.
General
information
The system issues a two-phase warning of a possible risk of collision with vehicles at
speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. Time of
warnings may vary with the current driving sitj uation.
Detection
range
Objects that the system can detect are taken into account.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not relieve from perj
sonal responsibility to assess visibility and trafj
fic situation. There is a risk of an accident. Adj just driving style to traffic conditions. Watchtraffic closely and actively intervene where apj
propriate.'

Warning
with

function
Display A warning symbol appears in the instrumentcluster and in the Head-up Display if a collision with a detected vehicle is imminent.
SymbolMeasureSymbol lights up red: prewarning.
Brake and increase distance.Symbol flashes red and an acoustic signal sounds: acute warning.
Brake and make an evasive maneuj ver, if necessary.Prewarning
This warning is issued, for instance when there
is the impending danger of a collision or the distance to the vehicle ahead is too small.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is a prewarning.
Acute
warning
with
braking
function
Acute warning is displayed in case of the immij nent danger of a collision when the vehicle apj
proaches another object at a high differential
speed.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is
assisted by an automatic braking intervention
in a possible risk of collision.
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous forewarning.
Braking
intervention
The detection of objects can be influenced by
technical system limitations, for instance pej
destrians or stationary objects. Observe the
limitations of the detection range and funcj tional restrictions.
The warning prompts the driver to react. Durj
ing a warning, the maximum braking force is
used. Prerequisite for the brake booster is sufj
ficiently quick and hard stepping on the brake
pedal. The system can assist with automatic braking intervention if there is a risk of a collij
sion. The braking intervention can bring the
vehicle to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a braking interj
vention up to a complete stop, the engine may
be shut down.
The braking intervention occurs only if vehicle stability has not been restricted, for instance by deactivating the DSC Dynamic StabilityControl.
At speeds above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h, the braking intervention occurs as a brief brakj ing pressure. No automatic delay occurs.Seite 143SafetyControls143

The driver may cancel the braking intervention
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by acj tively moving the steering wheel.

departure
warningConcept
The lane departure warning alerts when the vehicle on roads with lane markings is about to
leave the lane.
General
information Depending on the country version, the system
issues a warning at speeds between
35 mph/55 km/h and 45 mph/70 km/h.
When switching on the system below this
speed, a message is displayed in the instruj ment cluster.
Warnings are issued by means of a steering
wheel vibration. The time of the warning may
vary depending on the current driving situaj tion.
The system does not provide a warning if the turn signal is set before leaving the lane.
Safety
information WARNING
The system does not relieve from perj
sonal responsibility to assess road and traffic
safety. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where approprij
ate. Do not jerk the steering wheel in response
to a warning.'
