Cruise Control; Turning On The Cruise Control - BMW iX Owner's Handbook Manual

Cruise Control

Principle
Cruise Control allows a set speed to be specified
using the buttons on the steering wheel. The set
speed is then maintained by the system. It does
this by automatically accelerating and braking the
vehicle as necessary.
General
The system can be activated starting at
30 km/h/20 mph.
Depending on the vehicle setting, the character‐
istics of Cruise Control may change in certain
areas; for example, acceleration may change de‐
pending on the drive mode.
Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. Due to system limitations, it can‐
not respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic conditions. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
The risk of an accident may increase if the sys‐
tem is used in certain situations, such as:
▷ On stretches of road with many corners
and bends.
▷ In heavy traffic.
▷ If the road is icy, if there is fog or snow, in
wet conditions or on a loose road surface.
There is a risk of accident or material damage.
Only use the system if it is possible to drive at a
constant speed.
