– they expect to be able to access information on the
go, communicate via phone or e-mail, and keep up

BMW ConnectedDrive

therefore comprises all packages and innovative
technologies that enable the networking of BMW
vehicles and their occupants with the outside
world, including the immediate traf c environment.
BMW ConnectedDrive innovations optionally
enhance convenience, infotainment and safety.
Convenience.
"On long journeys, I don't always
want to have to look at the speedometer.
Not a problem with Active Cruise Control."
Comfort access.
Comfort access enables you to open, lock and start your car without
having to touch the remote control. As soon as you touch the exterior
handle of the driver or front passenger door or the luggage compartment
lid, a radio connection is established between the car and the remote
control unit to verify its ID. If veri cation is successful, the central locking
system unlocks the car, and the door or luggage compartment lid opens.
If the remote control unit is recognised by one of the aerials in the vehicle
interior, the engine can be started by pressing the START/STOP button –
again without using a key.
Active cruise control.
This option enables comfortable driving at a pre-selected speed. When
driving in columns of traf c, your BMW automatically adapts to the speed
of the preceding vehicle and uses its radar sensor to maintain a pre-set
distance. The braking function ensures that the desired speed is maintained
even when travelling downhill (not for four-cylinder models).
