Setting the warning time for
Forward Collision Mitigation
You can configure the warning time at which
Forward Collision Mitigation should issue a
warning.
1. Go through the menu as follows via
iDrive: Apps menu / "Vehicle" / "Driving
settings" / "Driver Assistance" / "Safety and
warnings" / "Forward Collision Mitigation".
2. Select the desired setting.
The more sensitive the warning time is set to
be, the more warnings will be displayed. The
system can therefore also issue more early or
unfounded warnings and reactions.
The system checks for visual impairments. De-
pending on the vehicle equipment, the Driver
Attention Camera in the instrument cluster
captures the driver's field of vision. Visibility
and gaze behavior also affect the timing of
warnings.
Display in the instrument cluster
The Forward Collision Mitigation is shown on
the instrument cluster and, depending on vehi-
cle equipment, on the Head-up display by the
following indicator and warning lights:

Safety
Indicator/warning lights may be displayed dif-
ferently since the system has detected multiple
objects.
Warning function
The Forward Collision Mitigation warns on dif-
ferent warning levels, depending on the re-
spective hazardous situation.
In the event of a prewarning, a warning light
illuminates red. In the event of an acute warn-
ing, a warning light flashes red and a warning
tone sounds.
In the event of a system warning, the driver
must intervene immediately and in accordance
with the situation.
▷ Red warning light illuminates:
A hazardous situation has been detected.
Increased awareness is required.
▷ Red warning light flashes:
There is a risk of collision. Intervene imme-
diately.
▷ A warning signal sounds:
There is a risk of collision. Intervene imme-
diately.
▷ Automatic brake intervention:
Depending on the equipment and situation
in case of risk of imminent collision, the
system can also intervene with an auto-
matic brake intervention and automatically
decelerate the vehicle, if necessary, to a
complete stop.
When the brake pedal is depressed quickly and
hard, the maximum brake power of the vehicle
is used.
Automatic brake intervention
If there is a risk of collision, the Forward Colli-
sion Mitigation system can assist with an auto-
matic brake intervention, if necessary.
When the vehicle is traveling at a low speed,
the vehicle may come to a complete stop.
