BMW 5 Series: Limits of the system
BMW 5 Series G30 2016-2026 Training Manual / Driver Assistance Systems / Evasion Aid / Limits of the system
The collision warning has a limited capacity for detection. As a result, incorrect or delayed warnings may occur and consequently Evasion Aid is limited in its operation. It is also possible that the following vehicles are not detected:
- A slow vehicle when driving off at high speed.
- Vehicles that suddenly swerve or decelerate rapidly.
- Vehicles with an unusual rear view or with insufficiently visible rear lights.
- Partially concealed vehicles.
- Two-wheeled vehicles travelling ahead.
The function of the KAFAS stereo camera and the radar sensors, and thus the function of Evasion Aid may be impaired in the following situations:
- Heavy fog, rain, spray or snow.
- Insufficient light.
- Strong light in the camera lens.
- If the field of view of the KAFAS stereo camera or the windscreen is dirty.
- On sharp bends.
- Up to 10 seconds after engine start via the START-STOP button.
- On restriction or deactivation of the driving dynamics systems, for example DSC OFF.
- During the calibration process for the KAFAS stereo camera immediately after vehicle delivery or a camera change.
Evasion Aid does not release the driver from his comprehensive responsibility as the driver. There can be functional limitations because of system restrictions.

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
