EnglishSafety -> Daytime pedestrian collision mitigation for your BMW i8 2014-2020
Safety
CONTROLS
The system’s ability to detect objects may be
limited in some circumstances. Refer to the in‐
formation in this Owner’s Manual regarding the
limitations of the system and actively intervene
as warranted.
▷ If the field of view of the camera in the mirror
is dirty or obscured.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after drive-ready state is
established.
▷ During calibration of the camera immediately
after vehicle delivery.
System limits
▷ If there are constant blinding effects because
of oncoming light, for instance from the sun
low in the sky.
Safety information
Warning
Warning sensitivity
The system is designed to operate in certain
conditions and circumstances. Due to condi‐
tions or other factors, the system may not re‐
spond. There may be a risk of accident or risk
of damage to property. Actively intervene as
warranted. Refer to the information in this Own‐
er’s Manual regarding the scope of the sys‐
tem’s operation and limitations.
The more sensitive the warning settings are, for
example the warning time, the more warnings are
displayed. Therefore, there may also be an ex‐
cess of premature or unjustified warnings and re‐
actions.
Daytime pedestrian collision
mitigation
Detection range
Concept
The system's detection potential is limited.
The system may prevent some accidents with
pedestrians.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
When driving at city speeds, the system will is‐
sue a warning if there is imminent risk of a colli‐
sion with pedestrians, and support this with a
light braking function.
The following situations may not be detected, for
example:
▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach
them at high speed.
The camera in the area of the interior mirror con‐
trols the system.
▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you,
or sharply decelerating vehicles.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
General information
In sufficiently bright conditions, the system is‐
sues a warning of a possible risk of collision with
pedestrians in the speed range from approx.
6 mph/10 km/h to approx. 35 mph/60 km/h
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the fol‐
lowing situations:
The system reacts to people who are within the
detection range of the system.
▷ In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.
▷ In tight curves.
▷ If the driving stability control systems are de‐
activated, for instance DSC OFF.

Detection range
Overview
Button in the vehicle
The detection area in front of the vehicle is div‐
ided into two areas:
▷ Central area, arrow 1, directly in front of the
vehicle.
Intelligent Safety button
▷ Expanded area, arrows 2, to the right and left
of the central area.
Camera
A collision is imminent if pedestrians are located
within the central area. A warning is issued about
pedestrians who are located within the extended
area only if they are moving in the direction of the
central area.
Safety information
Warning
The camera is installed near the interior mirror.
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
Keep the windshield in front of the interior mirror
clean and clear.
Switching on/off
Switching on automatically
The system is automatically active after every
driving off.
Warning
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a sub‐
stitute for the driver’s personal judgment. Due
to its limits, the system may not issue warnings
or reactions, or these may be issued late or in a
manner that is not consistent with their normal
use. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate.
Switching on/off manually
Press button briefly:
▷ The menu for the Intelligent Safety
system is displayed. The systems
are individually switched off accord‐
ing to their respective settings.

▷ LED lights up orange or goes out respective
to their individual settings.
The system’s ability to detect objects may be
limited in some circumstances. Refer to the in‐
formation in this Owner’s Manual regarding the
limitations of the system and actively intervene
as warranted.
Adjust the settings as needed. The individual
settings are stored for the driver profile currently
in use.

Warning
Hold down button:
The system is designed to operate in certain
conditions and circumstances. Due to condi‐
tions or other factors, the system may not re‐
spond. There may be a risk of accident or risk
of damage to property. Actively intervene as
warranted. Refer to the information in this Own‐
er’s Manual regarding the scope of the sys‐
tem’s operation and limitations.
▷ All Intelligent Safety systems are
switched off.
▷ The LED goes out.
Warning with braking function
Display
If a collision with a detected person is imminent,
a warning symbol appears on the instrument
cluster and in the Head-up Display.
Detection range
The detection potential of the camera is limited.
Thus, a warning might not be issued or be is‐
sued late.
The red symbol is displayed and a signal
sounds.
The following situations may not be detected, for
example:
Intervene immediately by braking or make an
evasive maneuver.
▷ Partially covered pedestrians.
▷ Pedestrians that are not detected as such be‐
cause of the viewing angle or contour.
Braking intervention
The warning prompts the driver to intervene.
During a warning, the maximum braking force is
used. This requires the brake pedal to be de‐
pressed sufficiently quickly and forcefully. If there
is a risk of collision, the system may assist with
braking. When the vehicle is traveling at a low
speed, the vehicle may come to a complete stop.
▷ Pedestrians outside of the detection range.
▷ Pedestrians having a body size less than
32 in/80 cm.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional or may
not be available in the following situations:
The braking intervention occurs only if vehicle
stability has not been restricted, for instance by
deactivating the DSC Dynamic Stability Control.
▷ In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.
▷ In tight curves.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.
▷ If the driving stability control systems are de‐
activated, for instance DSC OFF.

CONTROLS
▷ If the field of view of the camera or the wind‐
shield is dirty or covered.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after drive-ready state is
established.
▷ During calibration of the camera immediately
after vehicle delivery.
▷ If there are constant blinding effects because
of oncoming light, for instance from the sun
low in the sky.
▷ When it is dark outside.
Brake force display
Concept
Additional brake lights indicate emergency brak‐
ing to the traffic behind. This can reduce the risk
of a rear-end collision.
General information
▷ During normal brake application, the top
brake lights light up.
▷ During heavy brake application, the lower
brake lights additionally light up.
