Things to know about active cruise control
As with conventional cruise control systems, active cruise control in no
way diminishes or substitutes for the driver’s own personal responsibility, alert- ness and awareness in adjusting speed, braking or otherwise controlling the vehi- cle. The driver should decide when to use the system on the basis of road, traffic, vis- ibility, and weather conditions. Active cruise control is intended for use on high- way-type roadways where traffic is moving relatively smoothly. Do not use this system in city driving; heavy traffic such as during
62
rush hour; on curvy, winding roads, slip- pery roads or roads with sharp curves such as highway off-ramps; during inclement weather such as snow, strong rain or fog; or when entering interchanges, service/ parking areas or toll booths. It is also important to regulate your vehicle's speed and distance setting within applicable legal limits. Always be ready to take action or apply the brakes if necessary, especially when the system is actively following a vehicle in front of you.<
Always remember that the range and ability of the system does have phys- ical limitations. It will not apply the brakes or decelerate your vehicle when there is a slow-moving vehicle, stopped vehicle or stationary object ahead of you, as for example, at a traffic light or a parked vehi- cle. Also, the system does not react to oncoming traffic, pedestrians or other type of potential traffic such as a rider on horse- back. It is also possible that the system may not detect smaller moving objects such as motorcycles or bicycles. Be espe- cially alert when encountering any of these situations as the system will neither auto- matically brake, nor provide a warning to you. Also, be aware that every decrease in the distance setting allows your vehicle to come closer to a vehicle in front of you and requires a heightened amount of alert- ness.< If while your vehicle is actively following a vehicle in front of you and the vehicle ahead speeds up or the lane ahead becomes clear, then your vehicle will accelerate to the speed you have selected. Be aware that changing to a clear, unob- structed lane will also result in your vehicle accelerating.
Be certain to deactivate the system when you pull into an exit lane for a
highway off-ramp.< Also, vehicles traveling in a staggered man- ner on a highway may cause a delay in the system's reaction to a vehicle in front of you or may cause the system to react to a vehicle actually in the lane next to you. Always be ready to take action or apply the brakes if necessary. Active cruise control can only decelerate the vehicle to approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. If the system reduces vehicle speed below 20 mph/30 km/h or if DSC/ABS is engaged while driving, the system will automatically deactivate.
Remember, the system cannot stop your vehicle. In addition, the system is
deactivated whenever the driver applies the vehicle brakes, shifts the transmission from drive/D to neutral/N, or deactivates
DSC. After any deactivation, the system will no longer automatically activate the vehicle brakes, which means the driver must intervene and resume manual brak- ing. You should then reactivate the system only when you are fully aware of the prior speed and distance settings.< Active cruise control may brake when you reduce the stored desired speed; however, the driver must constantly monitor traffic and intervene if necessary. When you switch off the engine or ignition, active cruise control is fully switched off, too, and any settings you have selected are canceled.
Behavior in curves
Because of the limited range of the system, it is possible that in curves or on the peaks and valleys of hilly roads, a vehicle ahead may be recognized late, or not at all. There- fore, it is up to the driver to select a speed that is prudent in view of the curves and terrain of the roadway.
In approaching a curve, it is possible that active cruise control would react briefly to a vehicle in the adjacent lane. In addition, the system can sense if your vehicle is in a curve and may not accelerate. If your vehi- cle decelerates in either case, you can
63
g
choose to overcome the deceleration by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal.
Swerving vehicles
When a vehicle moves from an adjacent lane into your lane, active cruise control will not recognize this vehicle until it is fully in your lane ahead of your vehicle.
Malfunctions
If there is a malfunction, the indica- tor lamp symbol is displayed in the instrument cluster. Please note any supplementary information that appears on the Control Display. The build-up of foreign material, e.g., snow, ice, dirt, road debris, etc., can lead to reduced detection performance of active cruise control. You should check the sen- sor under the front bumper and clean it as necessary prior to driving your vehicle. If the sensor becomes covered by foreign material or has a malfunction, it is possible that the sensor will no longer be able to detect vehicles in front of you. After the system recognizes that the sensor is no longer functional, a message is displayed on the Control Display and an acoustic sig- nal is emitted.
Driver interventions
Anytime the driver presses down on the accelerator pedal, any automatic braking action by the system is interrupted until the pedal is fully released. After doing this, release the accelerator and the system again controls your cruising speed and dis- tance setting. While driving with activated system, resting your foot on the accelerator pedal will cause the system not to brake even if necessary. Be certain that floormats or other objects on the vehicle floor do not interfere with movement of the accelerator pedal.<
While active cruise control is capable of braking your vehicle automatically
when you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that the ability of the system to apply the brakes is also limited, if you are driving down a steep grade or when you reduce your desired speed sharply. The system cannot stop your vehicle. It uses only a portion of brak- ing system capacity and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehicle braking system. Therefore, the system cannot decrease your speed for large differences in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Examples: during emergency brak- ing, when you approach a vehicle traveling at a much lower speed than your own speed such as approaching a toll booth or when a much slower vehicle cuts in front of you at close range.<
Whenever active cruise control recognizes a situation that requires driver braking because the system capacity has been reached or has been exceeded, the system alerts the driver by flashing this symbol in the instrument cluster and sounding a signal.

Technology for comfort, convenience and safety
PDC Park Distance Control*
The concept The PDC assists you when you are parking. Signal tones indicate the current distance to an object behind or in front of your vehi- cle. Four ultrasonic sensors in both the bumpers monitor the distance to the near- est object. The sensors at the front and at the two rear corners have a range of approx. 1.64 ft/50 cm; the rear middle sen- sors have approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.
PDC is a parking aid that can indicate objects when they are approached
slowly, as is usually the case when parking. Avoid approaching an object at high speed, as otherwise the physical circumstances would mean that the system warning was too late.<
Automatic function In ignition key position 2, the system auto- matically assumes operational status after a few seconds each time you engage reverse gear or selector-lever position R. Wait this short period before revers- ing.<
Manual activation Press the button, the indicator lamp lights up.
76
Manual deactivation Press the button again; the indicator lamp goes out.
Automatic deactivation The system is automatically deactivated once the vehicle travels approx. 165 ft/ 50 m or exceeds a speed of roughly 20 mph/30 km/h; the indicator lamp goes out. You can reactivate the system manu- ally as needed.
Signal tones The signal indicating the distance to the nearest obstacle is directional. Thus, an object detected to the left rear of the vehi- cle will be indicated by a signal tone from the left rear speaker, etc. As the distance between vehicle and object decreases, the intervals between the tones become shorter. The signal tone becomes continu- ous once the distance to the nearest object falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm. The warning signal is canceled after approx. 3 seconds when the distance to an object remains constant during this time, if you are moving parallel to a wall, for instance.
Malfunctions The indicator lamp within the button flashes and a message appears on the Control Display. Please note any supple- mentary information that appears there. Switch the system off and have the cause of the malfunction corrected by your BMW center.
PDC with visual warning* You also enjoy the option of having the sys- tem show distances to objects on the Con- trol Display for the specific key in use. The Control Display will also indicate the pres-
ence of objects in green before they are close enough to generate a signal tone. Control Center, for principle details, refer to page 16:
1. Open the start menu by pressing the
button
2. Open the menu by pressing the con-
troller
3. Select "Vehicle settings" and press the
controller
4. Select "PDC" and press the controller
5. Select "Monitor display on" and press
the controller.
is displayed with the PDC image
switched on.
The display then appears on the Control Display as soon as PDC is automatically activated. The previous display automatically reap- pears after the system is deactivated.
Limits of the system
Even with PDC, final responsibility for estimating the distance between the
vehicle and any obstructions always remains with the driver. Even when sensors
are involved, there is a blind spot in which objects cannot be detected. The system is also subject to the physical limits that apply to all forms of ultrasonic measurement, such as those encountered with thin and wedge-shaped objects, etc. Low objects already displayed, e.g. a curb, can also dis- appear from the detection area of the sen- sors again before a continuous tone sounds. Loud noises from outside and inside your vehicle may prevent you from hearing the PDC signal tone.<
Keep the sensors clean and free of ice or snow in order to ensure that they
will continue to operate effectively. Do not apply high pressure spray to the sensors for a prolonged period of time. Keep the spray at least 4 in/10 cm away from the sensors.<
Driving stability control/ ABS Antilock Brake System Your BMW is equipped with an extended array of systems designed to enhance and maintain vehicle stability under extreme conditions. The following section describes these functions based on ABS and DSC.
The concept ABS enhances active safety by preventing the wheels from locking under braking. The ABS is operational every time you start the engine. ABS includes the functions CBC Cornering Brake Control and EBV Electronic Brake Force Distribution.
In case of malfunction
If the indicator lamp lights up in yel- low, this indicates that ABS has been deactivated in response to a system malfunction. Conventional braking efficiency remains available without limita- tions. Please have the system inspected at your BMW center.
77
CBC Cornering Brake Control CBC is a supplement to ABS. It provides further enhancements in vehicle stability and steering response during lane changes and cornering at high rates of lateral accel- eration.
EBV Electronic Brake Force Distribution EBV controls the brake system's applica- tion pressure at the rear wheels to ensure stable deceleration.
In case of malfunction
If the brake system warning lamp lights up in red, appearing together with the yellow indicator lamps for ABS and DSC: The driving stability control has failed. If all three lamps light up yellow: Fault in the driving stability control. The EBV electronic brake-force distribution is active. While you may continue, you should remember to proceed cautiously and drive defensively while avoiding full brake appli- cations. Please have the system checked at the nearest BMW center. If a message appears on the Control Dis- play, please note the supplementary infor- mation. You can find more information on the Check Control starting on page 68.
Indicator and warning lamps for Canadian models.
78
Driving stability control/ DSC Dynamic Stability Control
The concept DSC maintains vehicle stability, even in critical driving situations. The DSC is operational every time you start the engine. DSC includes the functionality of the DTC Dynamic Traction Control and DBC Dynamic Brake Control, refer to page 79. The system optimizes vehicle stability dur- ing acceleration and when starting from a full stop, as well as optimizing traction. The system recognizes any tendency for the vehicle to assume an unstable attitude such as oversteer or understeer; it then counteracts this tendency with a combina- tion of graduated reductions in engine torque and selective braking intervention at individual wheels. DSC provides optimal stability within the limits defined by the laws of physics.
Indicator lamps
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out soon after you start the engine.
If the indicator lamp flashes: DSC is regulating the drive and braking forces. If the indicator lamp lights up permanently: DSC has been switched off using the but- ton.
If the indicator lamp and the brake warning lamp light up permanently: Malfunction in DSC, DTC and DBC.
When the system is off, the stability main- tenance functions described above are no longer available. The vehicle will remain completely operational, however, without DSC. Please respond to any malfunctions by referring the problem to your BMW center.
Indicator and warning lamps for Canadian models.
Deactivating DSC
DTC Dynamic Traction Control In special driving states, e.g. in deep snow, DTC ensures maximum forward momen- tum. The gain in forward momentum also involves a reduction in driving stability. DTC is active up to 45 mph/70 km/h.
Activating DTC
Press the DSC button briefly; the DTC indicator lamp in the instru- ment cluster lights up permanently.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC under the following special circum- stances: > When rocking the vehicle and starting off in deep snow or on loose road sur- faces
> When ascending snow-covered hills, and when driving in deep or on hard- packed snow
> When driving with snow chains.
When DTC is active, DSC provides only limited system response up to a speed of approx. 45 mph/70 km/h. Control intervention for stability-enhancement is reduced.<
Deactivating DTC again Press the DSC button again; the DTC indi- cator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out. DSC is available once again without restriction.
Press the DSC button for at least 3 sec- onds; the DSC indicator lamp in the instru- ment cluster lights up permanently. DSC is deactivated. Deactivating DSC automatically deacti- vates DTC as well. The systems for enhancing stability and traction are deacti-
