BMW 3: Depending on the equipment version: emergency brake function, Active PDC
Concept
The emergency braking function of PDC initiates an emergency braking in case of acute risk of collision.
General information
This function may not be available. Contact your authorized dealer's service center or another qualified service center as to whether this additional function is currently in your vehicle or when it can be installed in your vehicle in the future.
Due to system limits, a collision cannot be prevented under all circumstances.
The function is available below walking speed when driving in reverse or rolling backward.
A press of the accelerator pedal interrupts the braking intervention.
After emergency braking to a stop, further creeping toward an obstacle is possible. To creep toward the obstacle, lightly press the accelerator pedal and release it again.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer, the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possible at any time.
The system uses the ultrasound sensors of PDC and parking assistant.
