BMW X5: Active Protection
Principle
Active Protection prepares occupants and the
vehicle for a possible accident in critical driving or
collision situations.
General information
Depending on the equipment and national-market
version, Active Protection consists of various
PreCrash functions.
The system is used to detect certain critical driving
situations that might lead to an accident. This
includes the following critical driving situations:
- Emergency stop.
- Severe understeering.
- Severe oversteering.
Certain functions of several systems can, within
the system limits, lead to Active Protection triggering:
- Forward Collision Warning: automatic brake
intervention.
- Front collision mitigation: Brake Assistant
- Night Vision with pedestrian and animal detection:
Brake Assistant.
- Rear collision preparation: detection of imminent
rear collisions.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment. Due to the system
limits, critical situation could not be detected
reliably or in time. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Function
When the safety belt is fastened, the driver's and
front passenger's belt straps are automatically
tightened once after driving away.
In accident-critical situations, the following individual
functions become active as needed:
- Automatic pretensioning of the front safety
belts.
- Automatic window closing up to a narrow
gap.
- Automatic closing of the panoramic glass
sunroof, including sun protection.
- For vehicles equipped with comfort seats in
the front: automatic positioning of the backrest
for the front passenger seat.
After a critical driving situation without an accident,
the front safety belts are loosened again.
If the belt tension does not loosen automatically,
stop the vehicle and unbuckle the safety belt using
the red button in the buckle. Fasten the
safety belt before continuing on your trip.
All other systems can be restored to the desired
setting.
