Get Safety -> Collision warning with braking function Guide for BMW X6 4 Door Second Generation (2015-2019)

Safety

Controls

Acute warnings can also be triggered without

previous forewarning.

▷

Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of

you, or sharply decelerating vehicles.

▷

Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.

Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.

Braking intervention

The warning prompts the driver himself/herself

to react. During a warning, the maximum brak‐

ing force is used. Prerequisite for the brake

booster is sufficiently quick and hard stepping

on the brake pedal. The system can assist with

some braking intervention if there is a risk of a

collision. At low speeds vehicles may thus

come to a complete stop.

Functional limitations

The system may not be fully functional in the

following situations:

▷

In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.

In tight curves.

If the driving stability control systems are

limited or deactivated, for instance DSC

OFF.

The braking intervention is executed only if ve‐

hicle stability has not been restricted, for in‐

stance by deactivating the DSC Dynamic Sta‐

bility Control.

▷

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 can be interrupted by

stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐

tively moving the steering wheel.

▷

Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐

gine via the Start/Stop button.

Object detection can be restricted. Follow the

limitations of the detection range and func‐

tional restrictions.

During calibration of the camera immedi‐

ately after vehicle delivery.

If there are constant blinding effects be‐

cause of oncoming light, for instance from

the sun low in the sky.

System limits

Safety information

WARNING

Warning sensitivity

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 informa‐

tion regarding the system limits and actively

intervene, if needed.◀

The more sensitive the warning settings are,

for example the warning time, the more warn‐

ings are displayed. Therefore, there may also

be an excess of premature or unjustified warn‐

ings and reactions.

Detection range

The system's detection potential is limited.

Collision warning with

braking function

Thus, a system reaction might not come or

might come late.

The concept

The system 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.

127

Controls

Safety

The system sounds a warning before an immi‐

nent collision and actuates brakes independ‐

ently if needed.

traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐

propriate.◀

WARNING

The automatic braking intervention may be

executed with maximum braking force and for

a brief period only as necessary.

Indicators and warnings do not relieve

from personal responsibility. Due to system

limits, warnings or reactions of the system may

not be output or they may be output too late,

incorrectly, or without justification. There is a

risk of an accident. Adjust driving style to traf‐

fic conditions. Watch traffic closely and ac‐

tively intervene where appropriate.◀

If the vehicle is equipped with Active Cruise

Control with Stop&Go, the front-end collision

warning is controlled via the cruise control ra‐

dar sensor in conjunction with a camera.

The front-end collision warning is available

even if cruise control has been deactivated.

WARNING

With the vehicle approaching another vehicle

intentionally, the collision warning and braking

are delayed in order to avoid false system re‐

actions.

Due to system limits, individual functions

can malfunction during tow-starting/towing

with the Intelligent Safety systems activated.

There is a risk of an accident. Switch all Intelli‐

gent Safety systems off prior to tow-starting/

towing.◀

General information

The system issues a two-phase warning of a

possible danger of collision with vehicles at

speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. Time of

warnings may vary with the current driving sit‐

uation.

cluster and in the Head-up Display if a collision

with a detected vehicle is imminent.

Prewarning

System limits

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.

Safety information

WARNING

The driver must intervene actively when there

is a prewarning.

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 informa‐

tion regarding the system limits and actively

intervene, if needed.◀

Acute warning with braking function

Acute warning in displayed in case of the immi‐

nent danger of a collision when the vehicle ap‐

proaches another object at a high differential

speed.

Detection range

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.

The system's detection potential is limited.

Thus, a system reaction might not come or

might come late.

E.g., the following situations may not be de‐

tected:

Acute warnings can also be triggered without

Pedestrian warning

The detection area in front of the vehicle is div‐

ided into two areas:

Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the

function warns of an imminent collision with

pedestrians during daytime or nighttime.

▷

Central area, arrow 1, directly in front of the

vehicle.

The function is subdivided into the following

systems:

▷

Expanded area, arrow 2, to the right and

left of the central area.

▷

During daytime:

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.

The system can help prevent accidents with

pedestrians.

When driving at city speeds, the system will is‐

sue a warning if there is imminent danger of a

collision with pedestrians and includes a brak‐

ing function.

WARNING

The camera in the area of the rearview mirror

controls the system.

Indicators and warnings do not relieve

limits, warnings or reactions of the system may

not be output or they may be output too late,

General information

With sufficient brightness, the system warns

about possible collision danger with pedes‐

trians starting at approx. 6 mph/10 km/h to ap‐

prox. 35 mph/60 km/h and assists with braking

before a collision.
