BMW 3: Warning function
If you leave the lane
If you leave the lane and if a lane marking has
been detected, the steering wheel vibrates in accordance
with the steering wheel vibration setting.
If the turn signal is switched on before a lane
change, a warning is not issued.
Steering intervention
Depending on the equipment version: if, in the
speed range up to 130 mph/210 km/h a lane
marking is crossed, the system may intervene
with a brief active steering intervention in addition
to vibrating. The steering intervention helps
keep the vehicle in the lane. The steering intervention
can be noticed on the steering wheel
and can be manually overridden at any time. During
an active steering intervention, the display in
the instrument cluster will blink.
Warning signal
Depending on the equipment version: In the
event of multiple active steering interventions by
the system within 3 minutes without the driver's intervention at the steering
wheel, an acoustic
warning will sound. A short warning signal will
sound at the second steering intervention. Beginning
with the third steering intervention, an
continuous warning will sound.
In addition, a Check Control message is displayed.
The warning signal and Check-Control message
are an encouragement to pay closer attention to
the lane.
End of warning
The warning is canceled in the following situations:
- Automatically after approx. 3 seconds.
- When returning to your own lane.
- When braking hard.
- When using the turn signal.
- If DSC Dynamic Stability Control intervenes.
