suddenly face to face with a deer on the road.
With BMW Night Vision, I am prepared.”
BMW Night Vision with pedestrian recognition and Acute Warning.
An optional infrared camera in the kidney grille detects people and animals
up to a distance of metres, displaying its images on the Control Display.
Pedestrian recognition also gives a visual warning to indicate any people
moving close to the road, at a distance of less than metres. This enables
the driver to recognise dangerous situations sooner and take more timely
action. The new Acute Warning helps in critical situations, for even more
safety.
Full-colour BMW Head-Up Display.
This optional system projects key information directly into the driver’s fi eld
of vision, using a multi-coloured TFT display. It indicates current speed,
for example, or displays navigation information. More colours now make
it even easier to distinguish between general driving information such as
speed limits and urgent warnings en route, including “Pedestrian in your
path” (optional with BMW Night Vision). With a constant view of the road,
driving becomes even safer.
Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function, incl. Approach
Warning and light-braking function.
Optional, for added convenience and active safety in stop-and-go traffi c.
The system measures the gap to the vehicle ahead on an ongoing basis
and automatically maintains an appropriate distance. Once the lane
ahead becomes free, the system accelerates again up to the desired
speed. In critical situations, the Approach Warning and light-braking
function become active, enhancing safety.
Multifunctional instrument display.
This optional system enhances safety and creates a unique visual driving
experience. Using Driving Experience Control, drivers can select instrument
displays matched to the current driving mode, where Comfort mode is the
standard mode, ECO PRO mode is the mode for particularly economical

The new digital display enhances safety as well as convenience and
driving enjoyment by highlighting or enlarging information that is particularly
relevant to a given style of driving.
