BMW Standard and Available Safety Features

The BMW safety and driver-assistance systems use high-tech sensors to capture important data on everything from speed limits to lane markings and nearby vehicles. With the help of GPS and navigation data, you'll receive timely audio and visual alerts to inform you of any potential road hazards. BMW ensures your safety on the road, so check out these most common safety features available:

• Highway Assistant – Experience the ultimate convenience and safety with this advanced technology that enables hands-free driving at speeds of up to 85 mph on controlled-access highways. Features like Active Lane Change ensure you stay in complete control by allowing you to confirm suggested lane changes with a simple glance at the side mirror.
• Distance Control and Steering Assistant – With Distance Control, you can set your desired cruising speed and following distance while the vehicle's cameras and radar sensors automatically detect the speed changes of the vehicle ahead and adjust accordingly. The Steering Assistant ensures that you stay centered in your lane by reading lane markings, providing you with a hassle-free and safe driving experience.
• Lane Change Assistant – Experience a seamless lane-switching experience while driving on multi-lane roads, even at speeds above 40 mph, with BMW's Active Lane Change feature. Whether you're merging into slower traffic or simply need to switch lanes due to navigation route requirements, this feature makes the process effortless by automatically adjusting your vehicle's speed to match the traffic. Additionally, the vehicle will suggest lane changes when it detects faster traffic in an adjacent lane, and you can confirm the proposed change with a glance at the outside mirror.
• Active Blind Spot Detection – By using sensors, it is able to detect any vehicles in your blind spot and alert you with intuitive visual cues in your exterior mirrors, as well as by generating subtle steering wheel vibrations.
• Emergency Stop Assistant – This system constantly monitors your attentiveness while on the road. If it detects that you are not paying attention for an extended period, it will immediately initiate a controlled emergency stop, bringing your vehicle to a halt within its lane. You can always override the system if necessary. Still, in the event of an emergency, the system will activate the hazard lights and issue an emergency eCall to ensure that you receive prompt assistance.
• Forward Collision Warning – This advanced system is equipped with a high-tech camera and radar sensors that work together to scan the road ahead for any potential hazard, from vehicles and pedestrians to objects and bicycles. In the event of an imminent collision, this system will automatically issue warnings to help prevent or minimize the impact. And if necessary, it will apply the brakes with controlled force to ensure your safety.
• High Beam Assist – This system optimizes high beam usage by monitoring ambient lighting and traffic conditions via a camera sensor near the rearview mirror. The high beams are automatically activated only when it's safe. It switches off the high beams when it detects oncoming traffic, vehicles in the same direction, or sufficient ambient light from additional road lighting, avoiding any disturbance to other drivers and pedestrians.
• Lane Keeping Assistant – If you unintentionally drift towards a lane marker without signaling, the system will immediately intervene and steer your car back to the lane center, providing you with visual and haptic warnings. However, you can easily override the system by steering yourself, ensuring that you always stay in control.
• Drive Recorder – With up to 40 seconds of playback footage, you can effortlessly relive your scenic routes and beautiful surroundings. BMW's onboard cameras allow for video playback on the infotainment display and take automatic image snapshots in the event of a collision, providing crucial documentation of the situation.
• Backup Assistant – With this technology, you can effortlessly reverse your vehicle, as it automatically steers along the same path you previously drove while you handle the gas and brakes. The Backup Assistant records your routes at lower speeds so you can easily focus on getting to your destination.
• Maneuver Assistant – This Maneuver Assistant takes complete control of your vehicle, handling the throttle, brakes, gear changes, and steering. You can now easily automate up to 10 parking maneuvers, like driving up your driveway or parking in your garage. You only need to record the maneuver once in manual drive and use it as many times as you want.
• Active Park Distance Control With Side Protection – This state-of-the-art technology is designed to activate emergency braking if it detects standing objects in your path.
• Remote Control Parking – With the My BMW App, you can effortlessly activate a feature that enables your vehicle to autonomously navigate in and out of parking spots without the need for you to be inside the car.
• Parking View Including Rear View Camera – This system blends front, rear, and side mirrors with 3D graphics, producing a complete spatial view of your vehicle on the iDrive screen.
• Anti-Theft Recorder – Experience ultimate peace of mind with the new feature on the My BMW App that sends you instant notifications when your car alarm sets off. With this feature, you'll be able to view high-quality footage of your car's exterior and interior surroundings, all on your smartphone.
