BMW X5: With Parking Assistant:
side parking aid
Principle
The side protection warns of obstacles on the
side of the vehicle.
General information
The system uses the ultrasonic sensors of the
Park Distance Control PDC and the Parking Assistant.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system,
it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
and vehicle surroundings closely and actively
intervene where appropriate.
Additionally, the safety information for the PDC
Park Distance Control and the Automatic Parking
Assistant apply.
Additional information:
- PDC Park Distance Control
- Automatic Parking Assistant
Display
To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle
markings are displayed on the sides of the vehicle.
- Color markings: warning against detected obstacles.
- Gray markings, hatched area: no obstacles
were detected.
- No markings, black area: the area next to the
vehicle was not yet captured.
Limits of the side parking aid
The system only displays stationary obstacles
that were previously detected by sensors while
passing them.
The system does not detect whether an obstacle
moves later on. If the vehicle is stationary, the
markings are shown in black after a certain time.
The area next to the vehicle must be newly captured.
The side parking aid is not available when the
trailer socket is occupied or trailer towing is activated.
Additionally, the limits of the systems of the Park
Distance Control PDC and the Parking Assistant
apply.
