BMW 5 Series: Functional principle
If a moving object is detected, which based on the current speed would be in the area in front of or behind the vehicle in approximately the next two seconds, a visual and acoustic warning is issued.
When a Cross Traffic Alert Rear is issued, the LED in the mirror glass is also switched on. The Blind Spot Detection signal unit is used as an indicator. The indicator is switched on in either the left or right mirror depending on the direction from which the object is approaching the vehicle.
The Cross Traffic Alert works up to a speed of approximately 4 mph (7 km/h). Another prerequisite of the function is that the side radar sensors are able to detect the road or approaching object. The radar sensors can detect objects up to a maximum of 262 ft (80 m) away from the vehicle.
