BMW 3: Concept, General information, Safety information
Concept
The system can help prevent accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists. In the event of an accident, the system may reduce impact speed.
The system sounds a warning in the city speed range before an imminent collision and activates brakes independently, if needed.
General information
The system issues a warning of a possible risk of collision with pedestrians and cyclists at speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h.
The system reacts to pedestrians and cyclists who are within the detection range of the system.
Depending on the equipment version, the system is controlled by the following sensors:
- Camera in the area of the interior mirror.
- Radar sensor in the front bumper.
Detection range

The detection area in front of the vehicle is divided into two areas:
- Central area, arrow 1, directly in front of the vehicle.
- Expanded area, arrow 2, to the right and left of the central area.
A collision is imminent if pedestrians are located within the central area. A warning is issued about pedestrians who are located within the extended area only if they are moving in the direction of the central area.
Safety information
Warning The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment in assessing visibility and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment. Due to its limits, the system may not issue warnings or reactions, or these may be issued late or in a manner that is not consistent with their normal use. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning Due to system limits, individual functions can malfunction during tow-starting/towing with the Intelligent Safety systems activated. There is a risk of accident. Switch all Intelligent Safety systems off prior to tow-starting/towing.

With the G20 PHEV the already familiar Generation 4.0 high-voltage battery
unit with the designation
SP41 is used. The lithium-ion battery has the same basic design as the
Generation 3.0 SP06 high-
voltage battery unit. The same can be found in the G12 PHEV and also in the G30 PHEV.
