BMW Standard and Available Safety Features

Your safety while driving is of utmost importance. That's why BMW makes it a priority to equip its vehicles with advanced safety features every year. These features are designed to help you feel more confident and secure while driving by detecting potential collisions and alerting you to take action. It's important to note that these features do not replace your responsibility as a driver, but they do provide an added layer of reassurance. BMW offers a range of standard and available safety and driver-assistance features, including the most common ones such as:

• Parking Assist - The parking assist feature enables you to navigate cramped parking spaces more confidently.
• Hill Start Assist - If you're driving uphill and come to a stop, this feature will secure the rear axle to prevent the car from rolling back. This can be especially helpful if you drive a manual vehicle.
• Lane Change Assist - This feature is designed to assist you in executing a lane change while ensuring your safety. It monitors the vehicle's blind spot and alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected in that area, using visual warnings displayed on the side mirrors. Additionally, the vehicle will vibrate the steering wheel to alert the driver of any detected danger.
• Road Sign Recognition - A small camera will be used to scan the road and surrounding environment, and if a road sign is detected, the corresponding image will be displayed on the screen. This feature can detect signs such as speed limits, wrong way, and do not enter signs.
• Speed Limit Assist - This feature consolidates all speed limit information for easy access while driving.
• Emergency Brake Assist - Your vehicle has sensors that can detect potential collisions. If a potential collision is detected, the driver will be alerted with an audible and visual warning, and the emergency brakes will be applied automatically.
• Distance Control - The vehicle can detect nearby vehicles and adjust speed by reducing power or applying brakes while on cruise control.
• Lane Guidance Assist - While you're driving, the car will detect lane markings and assist with steering to keep you within the lane boundaries.
• Cruise Control - This feature enables the driver to set a desired speed for the vehicle, which is then maintained and adjusted as needed.
