Safety -> Fatigue alert for your BMW i5 2023-2025

Safety  
CONTROLS  
Safety information  
At standstill  
After coming to a halt, the brake is released  
automatically.  
Warning  
The system cannot serve as a substitute for  
the driver’s personal judgment. Due to the  
system limits, critical situations might not be  
detected reliably or in time. There is a risk  
of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic con-  
ditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and  
actively intervene where appropriate  
Harder vehicle deceleration  
In certain situations, it may be necessary to  
bring the vehicle to a stop more quickly than  
automatic braking with PostCrash iBrake.  
To do this, quickly apply extra force to the  
brake. The brake pressure will then be higher  
than the brake pressure generated by auto-  
matic braking. Automatic braking with Post-  
Crash iBrake is canceled.  
Function  
Depending on the equipment and require-  
ments, the following individual functions are  
active in accident-critical driving situations:  
Abort automatic braking  
It may be necessary to cancel PostCrash  
iBrake automatic braking in certain situations,  
e.g., when making an evasive maneuver.  
Automatic closing of the windows.  
The windows remain open with a small  
gap.  
Abort automatic braking:  
The glass sunroof/panoramic glass sunroof  
closes automatically.  
By depressing the brake pedal for slightly  
longer.  
The sun protection is also closed.  
Automatic closing of glass sunroof.  
By pressing the accelerator pedal for  
slightly longer.  
Automatic positioning of the backrest for  
the front passenger seat.  
Fatigue alert  
Systems can be returned to the desired set-  
tings following a critical driving situation with-  
out accident.  
Principle  
The Fatigue Alert break recommendation fea-  
ture can detect when the driver is fatigued or  
less alert during long, monotonous trips, for in-  
stance on highways. The system recommends  
a break.  
PostCrash iBrake  
Principle  
In certain accident situations, the PostCrash  
iBrake can automatically bring the vehicle to a  
standstill without intervention by the driver.  
Safety information

further collision and its consequences.  
The system cannot serve as a substitute for  
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing  
one's physical state. An increasing lack of  
alertness or fatigue may not be detected or  
not be detected in time. There is a risk of

accident, injury, or property damage. Make  
sure that the driver is rested and alert. Adjust  
driving style to traffic conditions.

can only be displayed again after this time has  
elapsed.  
Break recommendation  
Function  
System limits  
After starting the trip, the system is trained to  
the driver, so that decreasing alertness or fati-  
gue can be detected.  
The Fatigue Alert system may be limited. If  
the system is limited, either no warning may  
be issued or an unwarranted warning may be  
issued.  
This procedure takes, for example, the follow-  
ing criteria into account:  
The break recommendation function may be  
limited in the following situations:  
Personal driving style, for instance steering  
behavior.  
If the time is set incorrectly.  
Driving conditions, for instance time, length  
of trip.  
At a predominantly driven speed below ap-  
prox. 43 mph/70 km/h.  
Depending on the equipment: attention  
of the driver through the Driver Attention  
Camera.  
With a sporty driving style such as during  
rapid acceleration or when cornering fast.  
In active driving situations such as when  
changing lanes frequently.  
The system is active starting at ap-  
prox. 43 mph/70 km/h and can also display a  
break recommendation.  
When the road condition is poor.  
In the event of strong side winds.  
Setting break recommendation  
The break recommendation can be switched  
on, off and adjusted via iDrive.

Despite this function being off, some driver as-  
sistance systems may issue break recommen-  
dations.
