BMW 5 Series: Evasion Aid
Often a collision with another vehicle (at the end of a traffic jam for example) or obstacle can only be prevented by an avoidance maneuver. Since the driver's response time plays a decisive role in an avoidance maneuver just as in a braking maneuver, Evasion Aid is able to make a considerable contribution to avoiding an impending collision.
Evasion Aid supports the driver in such critical driving situations with a focused steering intervention if the driver needs to avoid an obstacle. The system also help keep the vehicle stable during and after the avoidance maneuver.
This is achieved by an interaction between the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and the analysis of data from the assistance sensors.

Functional principle
An emergency avoidance maneuver takes place when a suddenly occurring
obstacle is detected in
front of the vehicle and the driver has to avoid this obstacle quickly and
without "significant" braking
System overview
Below we describe which main components or sensors are relevant to Evasion
Aid.
Object or obstacles are detected by means of the KAFAS stereo camera and
the ACC
Stop&Go front radar sensor.
Operation
A special precondition such as the individual configuration capability for
the system or deactivation of
this function only is not possible.
Evasion Aid can only be deactivated by switching off all

Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment. Due to the system
limits, braking can be late. There may be a risk
of accident or risk of damage to property. Be
aware to the traffic situation at all times. Adjust
the distance to the traffic and
Operation
There are two ways to activate the Parking Maneuvering Assistant function:
Activation via parking assistance button
Activation by "Engaging reverse gear" followed by "iDrive controller
operation"
Activation via parking assistance button
When the PMA is activated via the parking assistance butt
