EnglishSafety -> Front-end collision warning with City Braking function for your BMW 6 Series 2011-2017
Controls
Safety
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous prewarning.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
Braking intervention
▷
In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself
to react. During a warning, the maximum brak‐
ing force is used. Premise for the brake boos‐
ter is sufficiently quick and hard stepping on
the brake pedal. The system can assist with
automatic braking intervention if there is risk of
a collision. The intervention can bring the vehi‐
cle to a complete stop.
▷
▷
In tight curves.
If the driving stability control systems are
limited or deactivated, e.g., DSC OFF.
▷
If, depending on the vehicle equipment
version, the field of view of the camera in
the mirror or the radar sensor is dirty or ob‐
scured.
The braking intervention is executed only if
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on
and Dynamic Traction Control DTC is acti‐
vated.
▷
▷
▷
Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐
gine, via the Start/Stop knob.
During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.
Above approx. 130 mph/210 km/h the braking
intervention occurs as a brief braking pressure.
No automatic delay occurs.
If there is constant blinding effects be‐
cause of oncoming light, e. g., from the sun
low in the sky.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐
tively moving the steering wheel.
Warning sensitivity
Object detection can be restricted. Limitations
of the detection range and functional restric‐
tions are to be considered.
The more sensitive the warning settings are,
e.g. the warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. However, there may also be an ex‐
cess of false warnings.
System limits
Detection range
The system's detection potential is limited.
Front-end collision warning
with City Braking function
Thus a warning might not be issued or be is‐
sued late.
The concept
The ystem can help prevent accidents. If an
accident cannot be prevented, the system will
help reduce the collision speed.
E. g. the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
▷
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
The system sounds a warning before an immi‐
nent collision and actuates brakes independ‐
ently if needed.
▷
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of
you, or sharply decelerating vehicles.
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
▷
▷
Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
A camera in the area of the rearview mirror
controls the system.

Safety
Controls
The front-end collision warning is available
even if cruise control has been deactivated.
Be alert
Due to system limitations, warnings may
be not issued at all, or may be issued late or
improperly. Therefore, always be alert and
ready to intervene; otherwise, there is the risk
of an accident.◀
With the vehicle approaching another vehicle
intentionally the collision warning is delayed
avoiding false alarm.
General information
Tow-starting and towing
The system warns at two levels of an imminent
danger of collision at speeds from approx.
3 mph/5 km/h. Time of warnings may vary with
the current driving situation.
For tow-starting or towing, switch off the
Intelligent Safety systems; otherwise malfunc‐
tions of the individual braking systems might
lead to accidents.◀
Appropriate braking kicks in at speeds of up to
35 mph/60 km/h.

Personal responsibility
The system does not serve as a substi‐
tute for the driver's personal judgment of the
traffic situation.
Be aware of the traffic situation and the vehi‐
cle's surroundings at all times, otherwise acci‐
dents are still possible despite all warnings.◀
Adapting your speed and driving style
The displays and warnings of the system
do not relieve the driver of the responsibility to
adapt his or her driving speed and style to the
traffic conditions.◀
The camera is found near the interior rearview
mirror.
Keep the windshield in the area behind the in‐
terior rearview mirror clean and clear.

Controls
Safety
Switching on/off
Prewarning
This warning is issued, e.g., when there is the
impending danger of a collision or the distance
to the vehicle ahead is too small.
Switching on automatically
The system is automatically active after every
driving-off.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is a prewarning.
Switch off
Acute warning with braking function
Press button: the system is switched
off. The LED goes out.
Warning of the imminent danger of a collision
when the vehicle approaches another object at
a relatively high differential speed.
Re-press button: the system is switched on.
The LED lights up.
The driver must intervene actively when there
is an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is
assisted by a minor automatic braking inter‐
vention in a possible risk of collision.
Setting the warning time
The warning time can be set via iDrive.
1. "Settings"
Acute warnings can also be triggered without
previous prewarning.
2. "Frontal Coll. Warning"
3. Activate the desired time on the Control
Display.
Braking intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself
to react. During a warning, the maximum brak‐
ing force is used. Premise for the brake boos‐
ter is sufficiently quick and hard stepping on
the brake pedal. The system can assist with
some braking intervention if there is risk of a
collision. At low speeds vehicles may thus
come to a complete stop.
The selected time is stored for the profile cur‐
rently in use.
Warning with braking function
Display
If a collision with a recognized vehicle is immi‐
nent a warning symbol appears in the instru‐
ment cluster and in the Head-Up Display.
The braking intervention is executed only if
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on
and Dynamic Traction Control DTC is acti‐
vated.
Symbol Measure
The vehicle lights up red: prewarn‐
ing.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐
tively moving the steering wheel.
Brake and increase distance.
The vehicle flashes red and an
acoustic signal sounds: acute warn‐
ing.
Object detection can be restricted. Limitations
of the detection range and functional restric‐
tions are to be considered.
You are requested to intervene by
braking or make an evasive maneu‐
ver.

Safety
Controls
Thus a warning might not be issued or be is‐
sued late.
The function is subdivided into the following
systems:
E. g. the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
▷
During daytime: Pedestrian warning with
city braking function, refer to page 123
▷
Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
▷
At night: Night vision, refer to page 125
▷
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of
you, or sharply decelerating vehicles.

Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
The concept
The ystem can help prevent accidents with pe‐
destrians.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
The system issues a warning in the city driving
speed area if there is imminent danger of a col‐
lision with pedestrians and includes a braking
function.
▷
In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.
▷
▷
In tight curves.
The camera in the area of the rearview mirror
controls the system.
If the driving stability control systems are
limited or deactivated, e.g., DSC OFF.
▷
If, depending on the vehicle equipment
version, the field of view of the camera in
the mirror or the radar sensor is dirty or ob‐
scured.
General information
In daylight the system warns of possible colli‐
sions with pedestrians at speeds from about
6 mph/10 km/h to about 35 mph/60 km/h
shortly before a collision the system supports
you with a braking intervention.
▷
▷
▷
Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐
gine, via the Start/Stop knob.
During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.
Under those circumstances it reacts to people
who are within the detection range of the sys‐
tem.
If there is constant blinding effects be‐
cause of oncoming light, e. g., from the sun
low in the sky.
Detection range
Warning sensitivity
The more sensitive the warning settings are,
e.g. the warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. However, there may also be an ex‐
cess of false warnings.
Pedestrian warning
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the
function warns of an imminent collision with
pedestrians during daytime or nighttime.
The detection area in front of the vehicle is div‐
ided into two areas.
