Safety -> Pedestrian warning for your BMW 6 Series 2011-2017

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.  
Pedestrian warning with city  
braking function  
Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.  
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.
