Parking -> Active Park Distance Control for your BMW i5 2023-2025

Parking  
CONTROLS  
The system does not detect whether an obsta-  
cle moves later on. When the vehicle is station-  
ary, the gray shaded areas on the sides are  
hidden after a certain time. The area on the  
side of the vehicle must be newly captured.  
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the  
brake intervention. Emergency braking is not  
performed.  
After emergency braking to a stop, further  
creeping toward an obstacle is possible. Pro-  
ceed with caution. To move forward, lightly  
press the accelerator pedal and release as  
needed.  
Also follow the information on system limits in  
the "Parking assistance systems" chapter.  
Unwarranted warnings  
Reaching the system limits can cause unwar-  
ranted warnings.  
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,  
the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-  
ble at any time.  
Follow the information in the "Parking assis-  
tance systems" chapter.  
To prevent unwarranted warnings, for instance  
in car washes, turn off automatic Park Dis-  
tance Control activation on obstacle detection.  
Safety information  
Malfunction

play.

dent, injury, or property damage. Adjust driv-  
ing style to traffic conditions. Watch the sur-  
rounding traffic situation closely, be ready to  
take over steering and braking at any time,  
and actively intervene where appropriate.
