Speed limit detection with No Passing Information The concept Speed limit detection Speed limit detection uses a symbol in the shape of a traffic sign to display the currently detected speed limit. The camera at the base of the interior rearview mirror detects traffic signs at the edge of the road as well as variable dis‐ plays of sign gantries. Traffic signs with extra symbols, e. g. during wet road conditions, are also detected and compared with vehicle inte‐ rior data, e. g. the rain sensor and are displayed depending on the situation. The system consid‐ ers the information stored in the navigation sys‐ tem and also displays speed limits present on routes without signs. No Passing Information No Passing Information displays in the instru‐ ment cluster the beginnings and ends of no passing zones detected by the camera. The sys‐ tem accounts for only the beginnings and ends of No Passing zones marked by signs. No display is shown: ▷ In countries where No Passing zones are
primarily identified with road markings.

Protective action Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐ tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end collisions.
Information on how to ensure the optimal protective effect of the airbags
▷ Keep at a distance from the airbags. ▷ Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim, holding your hands at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep the danger of injury to your hands or arms as low as possible if the airbag is triggered.
▷ There should be no people, animals, or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.
▷ Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the front passenger side as a storage area.
▷ Keep the dashboard and window on the
front passenger side clear, i.e., do not cover with adhesive labels or coverings, and do not attach holders such as for navigation instru‐ ments and mobile phones.
▷ Make sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and legs in the footwell; otherwise, leg injuries can occur if the front airbag is triggered.
▷ Do not place slip covers, seat cushions or other objects on the front passenger seat that are not approved specifically for seats with integrated side airbags.
▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jack‐
ets, over the backrests.
▷ Make sure that occupants keep their heads
away from the side airbag and do not rest against the head airbag; otherwise, injuries can occur if the airbags are triggered.
▷ Do not remove the airbag restraint system. ▷ Do not remove the steering wheel. ▷ Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐
bag cover panels, cover them or modify them in any way.
▷ Never modify either the individual compo‐ nents or the wiring in the airbag system. This also applies to steering wheel covers, the dashboard, the seats, the roof pillars and the sides of the headliner.◀
Even when all instructions are followed closely, injury from contact with the airbags cannot be ruled out in certain situations. The ignition and inflation noise may lead to short-term and, in most cases, temporary hear‐ ing impairment in sensitive individuals.
In the case of a malfunction, deactivation and after triggering of the airbags
Do not touch the individual components imme‐ diately after the system has been triggered; oth‐ erwise, there is the danger of burns. Only have the airbags checked, repaired or dis‐ mantled and the airbag generator scrapped by your service center or a workshop that has the necessary authorization for handling explosives. Non-professional attempts to service the sys‐ tem could lead to failure in an emergency or un‐ desired triggering of the airbag, either of which could result in injury.◀ Warnings and information on the airbags are also found on the sun visors. Functional readiness of the airbag system
When the ignition is switch on, the warn‐ ing lamp in the instrument cluster lights up briefly and thereby indicates the op‐ erational readiness of the entire airbag system and the belt tensioner.

2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. 3. Check the air pressure in all four tires at the
next opportunity. If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system.
Possible driving distance with complete loss of tire inflation pressure: The possible driving distance after a loss of tire inflation pressure depends on the cargo load and the driving style and conditions. For a vehicle containing an average load, the possible driving distance is approx. 50 miles/ 80 km. When the vehicle is driven with a damaged tire, its handling characteristics change, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance, and altered self-steering properties. Adjust your driving style accord‐ ingly. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driv‐ ing over obstacles, e.g., curbs, potholes, etc. Because the possible driving distance depends on how the vehicle is used during the trip, the actual distance may be smaller or greater de‐ pending on the driving speed, road conditions, external temperature, cargo load, etc. Continued driving with a flat tire Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance and altered self-steering prop‐ erties.◀
Final tire failure Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could come loose and cause an accident. Do not con‐ tinue driving, and contact your service center.◀

Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Each tire, including the spare (if provided) should be checked monthly when cold and in‐ flated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la‐ bel, you should determine the proper tire infla‐ tion pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that il‐ luminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-in‐ flated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a sub‐ stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating prop‐ erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is com‐ bined with the low tire pressure telltale. When
Safety
Controls
the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then re‐ main continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the mal‐ function indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the re‐ placement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
FTM Flat Tire Monitor The concept The system does not measure the actual infla‐ tion pressure in the tires. It detects a pressure loss in a tire by comparing the rotational speeds of the individual wheels while moving. In the event of a pressure loss, the diameter and therefore the rotational speed of the corre‐ sponding wheel change. This is detected and reported as a flat tire. Functional requirements The system must have been initialized when the tire inflation pressure was correct; otherwise, reliable signaling of a flat tire is not ensured. In‐ itialize the system after each correction of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. System limits

Function After the safety belt is buckled, the front belts are automatically tightened once after the vehi‐ cle is driven is away. In critical driving situations, the following indi‐ vidual functions become active: ▷ The front belts are automatically tightened. ▷ Automatic closing of the windows. ▷ Automatic closing of the glass sunroof. After a critical driving situation without an acci‐ dent, the front belts are loosened again. All other systems can be restored to the desired setting. If the belt tension does not loosen automatically, stop the vehicle and unbuckle the belt using the red button in the buckle. Fasten the belt before continuing on your trip. PostCrash In the event of an accident, the system can bring the car to a halt automatically without interven‐ tion by the driver in certain situations. This can reduce the risk of a further collision. Depressing the brake pedal can cause the vehi‐ cle to brake harder. This interrupts automatic braking. Depressing the accelerator pedal also interrupts automatic braking. After coming to a halt, the brake is released au‐ tomatically. Secure the vehicle against rolling.

to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing engine speed and by applying brakes at individual wheels. Adjust your driving style to the situation An appropriate driving style is always the
responsibility of the driver. The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with DSC. Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety margin by driving in a risky manner.◀
Antilock Brake System ABS ABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak‐ ing. The vehicle remains steerable even during full brake applications, thus increasing active safety. ABS is operational every time you start the en‐ gine.
Brake assistant When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically produces the maximum braking force boost. It thus helps to achieve the shortest possible braking distance during full braking. This system utilizes all of the benefits provided by ABS. Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal for the duration of the full braking.

Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, ACC The concept This system can be used to select a desired speed that the vehicle will maintain automati‐ cally on clear roads. To the extent possible, the system automatically adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle ahead of you. The distance that the vehicle maintains to the vehicle ahead of you can be varied. For safety reasons, it depends on the speed. To maintain a certain distance, the system au‐ tomatically decelerates, applies the brakes lightly, or accelerates again if the vehicle ahead begins moving faster. If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, the system is able to detect this within the given system limits. If the vehicle ahead of your drives away again from a halt, your vehicle is able to accelerate if operated accordingly. Even if some time passes before the vehicle drives away again, the BMW can still be accel‐ erated automatically and simply. As soon as the road is clear, it accelerates to the desired speed. The speed is also maintained on downhill gra‐ dients, but may not be maintained on uphill slopes if engine power is insufficient.
