Intelligent Safety

With Intelligent Safety, the BMW 5 Series (VII generation) combines numerous driver assistance systems in one central control unit. These include Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Change Warning, Evasion Assist, and Night Vision with animal and pedestrian detection. Using a dedicated button, all systems can be switched on or off together or individually. Settings such as warning timing or system behavior are adjusted conveniently via iDrive and stored per driver profile. The assistance systems help detect and avoid accidents at an early stage. However, they do not replace the driver's attention, especially when towing or in poor visibility. Therefore: use the technology, but remain responsible.

Principle Intelligent Safety enables central operation of the driver assistance systems.

General Depending on equipment, Intelligent Safety consists of one or more systems that can help avoid an impending collision.

• Forward Collision Warning with braking function.
• Evasion Assist.
• Pedestrian warning with City braking function.
• Night Vision with pedestrian and animal detection.
• Lane Departure Warning.
• Lane Change Warning.
• Side Collision Warning.
• Right-of-way warning.

Safety notes

WARNING Displays and warnings do not relieve you of your own responsibility. Due to system limits, warnings or system reactions may not be issued, may be late, or may be incorrect. There is a risk of accident. Adapt your driving style to traffic conditions. Observe traffic and actively intervene in the appropriate situations. WARNING Due to system limits, malfunctions of individual functions may occur when towing or being towed with Intelligent Safety systems activated, e.g. Forward Collision Warning with braking intervention.

There is a risk of accident. Before towing or being towed, switch off all Intelligent Safety systems.
