SAFETY FEATURES

ALWAYS ON GUARD

Available advanced features are constantly looking out for the unexpected – so you can stay focused on the drive.

Less stress from traffic monotony.

BMW's Traffic Jam Assistant uses an array of sensors and cameras to help regulate steering, speed, and braking, keeping you moving safely on a crowded roadway.

Keep between the lines.

Active Lane Keeping Assistant with Side Collision Avoidance tracks your position in your lane, and can help the driver steer away from potential obstacles.

Higher highway confidence.

Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go monitors the distance between your 5 Series and the vehicle ahead. When things slow down, the system can even bring the vehicle to a standstill.

See traffic before it sees you.

The Cross-Traffic Alert system scans around nearby obstacles like parked vehicles – and warns you if oncoming traffic is about to cut across your path.

Quick responses.

When you need to make a sudden maneuver, BMW's Evasion Aid is ready. This system kicks in when unexpected obstacles appear, helping you guide the vehicle to a clear lane.
