BMW 5 Series: 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.
