Safety -> Side collision mitigation for your BMW i4 2021-2025

Safety  
CONTROLS  
Depending on the national-market version, the  
steering intervention e.g. in the following situa-  
tions:  
The minimum speed is country-specific and  
displayed on the control display.  
If, for example, another vehicle is detected next  
to your vehicle and there is a risk of collision  
with this vehicle, the system helps avoid a col-  
lision. For this purpose, the system issues a  
warning with a flashing LED in the exterior mir-  
ror, a Check Control message and a vibrating  
steering wheel. If necessary, an active steering  
intervention is performed by the system.  
In the event of missing, worn, poorly visible,  
merging, diverging, or multiple lane boun-  
daries such as in construction areas.  
With lane boundaries that are covered in  
snow, ice, dirt or water.
