CONTROLS
Driving back with automated
steering
1. Press the park assistance button or shift into
reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary
and the drive-ready state is switched on.
2. Move the Controller to the right.
3. "Back-up Assistant"
The system takes over the steering.
4. Follow the instructions on the Control Display
where required.
5. Take your hands off the steering wheel and
carefully drive off with the accelerator pedal
and the brake.
When driving in reverse, pay attention to the
vehicle's surroundings, and if you encounter
an obstacle, stop immediately and take over
control of the vehicle. Follow the instructions
on the PDC Park Distance Control.
6. Stop no later than when normal traffic is
reached and take control of the vehicle, such
as by shifting to a forward gear.
At the end of the stored route, a signal will
sound and a request will be displayed, also
with the instruction to take control of the ve‐
hicle.
Terminating the system
The system automatically cancels in situations
such as the following:
▷ When the driver grasps the steering wheel or
takes over steering.
▷ When engaging a forward gear.
▷ During activation or intervention by driving
control systems or assist systems.
▷ After a few minutes when the vehicle is sta‐
tionary.
▷ If the vehicle leaves the stored lane during re‐
versing; for example, at the maximum steer‐
ing angle.

▷ When the display on the Control Display is
cross-faded with messages, e.g., due to in‐
coming calls.
System limits
▷ When you reach normal road traffic or if you
encounter an obstacle, stop immediately and
take over control of the vehicle.
▷ The maximum speed for driving in reverse is
limited to approximately 6 mph/9 km/h.
If the maximum speed is exceeded, a warning
is issued and the function may be canceled.
▷ Additionally, the limits of the systems of the
Park Distance Control PDC and the Parking
Assistant apply.
Different influences can lead to side deviations
when driving back on the stored route. For exam‐
ple, this includes the following factors:
▷ Steering movements when the vehicle is sta‐
tionary while storing the distance covered.
▷ The speed is not adapted to the distance
traveled.
▷ Road characteristics, such as gradients or in‐
clines.
Remote Control Parking
Concept
The vehicle can be remotely parked and driven
out in reverse in the case of suitable forward-
parking spaces, for instance a garage. The driver
is not in the vehicle, but controls the parking op‐
eration responsibly from the outside using the
BMW display key.
Stop the vehicles manually in the case of obsta‐
cles.
Using the BMW display key, the vehicle can be
moved by approx. 2 times the vehicle length.
The speed is approx. 1.1 mph/1.8 km/h.
