Driving Assistant
There is something I am not understanding. With the Driving Assistant (which I have bought), I can read on the documentation that Collision Warning with Breaking Function is included.
It says also that the system is always active, even when the Cruise Control is not enabled. I have got my car yesterday and I have tried several times to get close (very close) to a car in front of me, but I have had no warning at all. Maybe the European cars are equipped in a different way. I have no clue. Can anybody help me in understanding what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

I have it. And it warns me all the time. I have to get extremely close for it to brake though.
There are 3 settings. Early warning, late warning, and no warning. Make sure you have those setting set right. Edit: As far as the braking, do you have active cruise? If not, your car will not brake. Page 117 in the manual (Collision warning with braking function) explains that if you have Active Cruise, it doesn't use the camera for the collision warning, it uses the radar on front bumper, which allows it to brake the car. You can see it working in this video I took. I had my active cruise on, and the car in front of me changed lanes. It got a bit confused, that's why eventually the anti collision kicked in. I never touched the brake, and you can hear the brakes when it finally kicks in.

I have seen your video. So the car actually did the last brake autonoumosly?
What's the behavior when the cruise control is not active? Thanks a ton for the explanations! |

How fast are you going when you are testing the system and in what conditions. I looked in the manual, and it seems that the system knows when you are intentionally following to close:
When the vehicle is intentionally brought into contact with a vehicle, the collision warning is delayed to avoid false warnings

I didn't get this option because my car is an MT. It seems like it would work better with an AT. Pretty cool though.

I picked up my 335i with active cruise control last night and am pretty impressed. You though, have way more balls than me to trust the system that much. LOL.

Check YOUR Owners Manual
Why? Because it depends on what year build your car is. So for 2014 builds (as the first 4 Series is) different speeds apply as for older models (for the F30 readers). Therefore check your online manual to have the correct speed information! 2013 F30 Manual: "The system issues a two-phase warning of a danger of collision at speeds above approx. 10 mph/15 km/h." 2014 F30 Manual: "The system issues a two-phase warning of a possible danger of collision with vehicles at speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h." In the 2014 there is also a "Pedestrian warning with city braking function" The system issues a warning with brightness staring at approx. 6 mph/10 km/h to approx. 35 mph/60 km/h regarding a possible risk of collision with pedestrians and assists with a brake intervention shortly before a collision. This makes me wonder if the 2013 builds can be software upgraded to above lower speed detection and to the Pedestrian warning? Does anyone know? |

I use it a lot on the highway and I can say I most definetely trust it in almost every situation. It's a very well designed system.

My manual is talking about pedestrian warning with City Breaking function. I see all this working during cruise control is engaged, how does it work when it's not.
My car is a 435i xD that was built in August 2013. |
