EnglishSafety -> Pedestrian warning with city braking function 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.

Button in the vehicle
Expanded area, arrow 2, to the right and

A collision is imminent if pedestrians are lo‐
cated within the central area. A warning is is‐
sued about pedestrians who are located within
the extended area only if they are moving in
the direction of the central area.
Hints
Personal responsibility
Intelligent Safety button
The system does not serve as a substi‐
tute for the driver's personal judgment of the
traffic situation.
Camera
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.◀
Be alert
The camera is found near the interior rearview
mirror.
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.◀
Keep the windshield in the area behind the in‐
terior rearview mirror clean and clear.
Switching on/off
Tow-starting and towing
Switching on automatically
The system is automatically active after every
driving-off.
For tow-starting or towing, switch off the
Intelligent Safety systems; otherwise malfunc‐
tions of the individual braking systems might
lead to accidents.◀
Switch off
Press button: the systems are turned
off. The LED goes out.
Press button: the systems are turned on. The
LED lights up.

Partially covered pedestrians.
Warning with braking function
Display
Pedestrians that are not detected as such
because of the viewing angle or contour.
If a collision with a person detected in this way
is imminent, a warning symbol appears on the
instrument cluster and in the Head-up Display.
▷
▷
Pedestrians outside of the detection range.
Pedestrians having a body size less than
32 in/80 cm.
The red symbol is displayed and a sig‐
nal sounds.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional or may
not be available in the following situations:
With instrument display: The red sym‐
bol is displayed and a signal sounds.
▷
In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.
Intervene immediately by braking or make an
evasive maneuver.
▷
▷
In tight curves.
If the driving stability control systems are
deactivated, e.g. DSC OFF.
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.
▷
▷
▷
▷
If the camera viewing field or the front
windshield are dirty or covered.
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.
If there is constant blinding effects be‐
cause of oncoming light, e. g., from the sun
low in the sky.
The braking intervention is executed only if
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on
and Dynamic Traction Control DTC is acti‐
vated.
▷
When it is dark outside.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐
tively moving the steering wheel.
Night Vision with Pedestrian
and Animal Detection
Object detection can be restricted. Limitations
of the detection range and functional restric‐
tions are to be considered.
The concept
Night Vision with pedestrian and animal detec‐
tion is a night vision system.
System limits
An infrared camera scans the area in front of
the vehicle and issues a warning if it detects
pedestrians and animals on the street. Warm
objects that are similar in shape to human be‐
ings or animals are detected by the system. If
necessary, the heat image can be displayed on
the Control Display.
Detection range
The detection potential of the camera is lim‐
ited.
Thus a warning might not be issued or be is‐
sued late.
E. g. the following situations may not be de‐
tected:
