Settings with the Head-Up Screen
App
Various settings can be modified using the
"Head-Up Screen" App (see figure).
1 Speed adjustment: Fine-tuning of the
speed display in the car. Depending on
the vehicle type, it may be necessary to
adapt the digital display on the Head-Up
Screen to the behaviour of the
speedometer's analogue pointer display
2 Adapting the brightness of the screen: In
“Auto” mode, your Head-Up Screen adapts
to the settings of the car's dashboard
illumination. The brightness can also be
customised here. Removing the tick next to
"Auto" allows the display to be controlled
completely independently of the car.
Ensure that you are not dazzled in dark
conditions:
- Changes to the brightness of the Head-
Up Screen via the dashboard
illumination control (will only take effect
if the daytime driving light or low beam
headlights are switched on). To
coordinate the control range for the
display brightness as effectively as
possible, BMW recommends not
setting the dashboard illumination to
maximum, but rather to just slightly
below it. To control the dashboard
illumination, please see the instructions
in your BMW Owner's Manual. Please
take care not to set the display so
bright that you are dazzled in dark
conditions
- It is possible, if required, to apply the
enclosed black rubber film onto the
LANGUAGECODE.EN
17
side of the screen
facing the front
windscreen and thereby
rule out any possible
dazzle effect caused by
the headlights of
oncoming traffic. The
film can be removed
and re-applied as often
as necessary

HUS operating temperature
If the Head-Up Screen exceeds the
permissible operating temperature, your
Head-Up Screen will only switch on when
the ignition is switched on once the
permitted internal temperature has been
reached. This may take up to a few
minutes under certain circumstances.
Cleaning and care of the HUS
To clean the Head-Up Screen, we recommend
using a soft, dry cloth. A suitable microfibre
cloth is included in the supplied package. Do
not use any other types of cleaning agent, since
these can damage the product. For more

BMW Driver Advice Assistant
functions
Collision warning
The collision warning helps to minimise the
risk of collision accidents and reduce the
consequences of accidents. If there is a risk of
collision, the driver will be warned in good time
with visible and audible signals. The multi-
function camera mounted to the front
windscreen in the area of the rear-view mirror
can recognise vehicles and objects that cut
into view and whose distance reduces
significantly. Up to a speed of 65 km/h,
standing objects and crossing pedestrians are
detected.
The collision warning is a tool that
cannot definitively detect complex
traffic situations and may issue a
warning too late. As a result, the
driver must always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes. If the
Assistant issues a warning, the
driver must brake or swerve
immediately if it is not dangerous to
do so.
The driver must not rely exclusively
on the display, but instead always be
aware of his or her surroundings.
The collision warning function is
limited when
– visibility is poor (e.g. in poor road
lighting, snow, heavy rain, fog and
spray)
– there is glare from oncoming headlights,
direct sunlight and bright reflections
– the camera is dirty, damaged or
covered
– vehicles are unlit
– there are fast-moving pedestrians
– pedestrians are wearing certain clothing
and objects that hinder detection
25
– there are pedestrians that are
concealed by other objects
– there are pedestrians whose shape is
difficult to discern from the background
The assistant may generate false alerts
in the following situations:
– oncoming traffic
– crossing traffic
– on bends
– at traffic islands
Pedestrians are detected based on
typical body contours and posture.
The collision warning will not react to:
– small people (children)
– animals
– oncoming traffic
– crossing traffic and bends
Lane departure warning
The multi-function camera mounted to
the front windscreen in the area of the
area of the rear-view mirror monitors
the area in front of the car and
recognises lane markings. If the vehicle
drifts out of the current lane, a warning
is sounded.
26
The lane departure warning is a tool
that cannot intervene in the vehicle.
The driver maintains full responsibility
for steering the car, must keep their
hands on the wheel at all times and
must adjust the speed and distance
from the car in front accordingly. Lane
departure warning cannot take
account of road and weather
conditions and cannot always assess
traffic situations correctly. The driver
must adjust their driving style
independently.
The driver must not rely exclusively
on the display, but instead always be
aware of his or her surroundings.
To ensure the function of the lane departure
warning,
– the area around the camera must be kept
clean
– the camera’s line of sight must be kept
clear
– the front windscreen in the area of the
camera must be regularly checked for
damage.
The lane departure warning cannot
recognise all road markings and has only
been developed for driving on asphalted
roads. Where road markings and the road structure
are poor, or if there are objects on the road, mis-
detections may occur. In this situation, the lane
departure warning may sound an alert
inappropriately or, incorrectly, not at all.
The driver must not rely exclusively on the
display, but instead always be aware of his or
her surroundings.
27
The lane departure warning
function is limited when
–visibility is poor (e.g. in poor
road lighting, snow, heavy
rain, fog and spray)
–there is glare from oncoming
headlights, direct sunlight
and bright reflections
–the camera is dirty, damaged
or covered
–there are no, multiple or
unclear road markings
–there are tight bends
–there are alternating lane
markings (e.g.: diversions
and crossroads)
There is no warning
–when the indicators are used
Distance information
The distance information
helps to maintain a suitable
distance from the vehicle in
front and warns the driver if
they are getting too close.
The distance information
minimises the risk of
accident and reduces the
consequences of an
accident.
The multi-function camera mounted on the
front windscreen in the area of the rear-view
mirror can detect the vehicle in front from a
speed of 40 km/h if the distance is too short
over a period of several seconds. The
assistant provides optical information about
the current distance to the vehicle in front,
prompting the driver to adjust their distance.
In critical situations, it also emits a signal (if
activated) to warn the driver to brake the car
immediately or to swerve if the situation
allows it.
LANGUAGECODE.DE
28
The distance information is a tool
but should not be relied on
exclusively. The driver must
monitor their surroundings at all
times and adjust their distance
independently. The assistant will
not intervene in the vehicle. It is
the driver's responsibility to
maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles.
The sensitivity of the distance
information depends on the
environmental and weather conditions.
In heavy rain and snow, as well as in
low temperatures and darkness, the
assistant is more sensitive and
recommends maintaining a greater
distance.
The distance information function is
limited when
–visibility is poor (e.g. in poor road
lighting, snow, heavy rain, fog and
spray)
–there is glare from oncoming headlights,
direct sunlight and bright reflections
–the camera is dirty, damaged or
covered
The distance information does not react:
–to people or animals
–to oncoming traffic
–to crossing traffic
–on bends
In complex traffic situations, the distance
information may
–issue a warning although there is no
danger
–not issue a warning although there is a
danger
29
Traffic sign recognition
Traffic sign recognition displays the
maximum permitted speed and
when overtaking is prohibited.
Traffic sign recognition is a tool
that may recognise traffic signs
incorrectly. The traffic signs on
the roads always take priority if
there is a discrepancy with the
display and must be observed at
all times.
The driver must not rely
exclusively on the display, but
instead always be aware of his
or her surroundings and interpret
traffic signs independently.
The road sign recognition function is
limited when
– visibility is poor (e.g. in poor road
lighting, snow, heavy rain, fog and
spray)
– there is glare from oncoming
headlights, direct sunlight and bright
reflections
– the camera is dirty, damaged or
covered
– the road signs are difficult to read
– there is inadequate lighting of
road signs
– there are signs with multiple
meanings (e.g. on construction
sites)
Alertness assistant
The alertness assistant helps the driver
on long, tedious journeys,
especially when driving on the motorway. The
assistant analyses the driving behaviour,
journey length and time of day to offer
recommendations about taking regular breaks.
A warning is issued via a symbol on the display
and possibly with a warning sound.
30
The alertness assistant is merely a
tool and cannot (always) detect signs
of illness, form on the day or
tiredness. The driver is solely
responsible for taking suitable breaks.
The assistant's algorithm is designed
exclusively for journeys on well-
asphalted roads, as well as on
motorways.
The assistant’s function is limited when
– driving for less than 60 minutes
– driving in a sporty style
– speeds are maintained below 60 km/h
and over 200 km/h
– the driver is very distracted
The alertness assistant is unable to
detect momentary nodding-off.
The alertness assistant detects a break
if
– the engine is switched off for a
period of more than 15 minutes
When a break is detected, the assistant is
reset to zero and restarts the analysis.
High beam assistant
The high beam assistant recommends the
timely lowering of high beams when there is
oncoming traffic. The multi-function camera
mounted to the front windscreen in the area of
the rear-view mirror can recognise oncoming
vehicles and vehicles in front of the car and
measures the distance from them. This means
that a recommendation to lower the high beams
can be issued in good time so that the
oncoming traffic is not dazzled. The assistant
also recommends lowering the high beam in
well-lit areas, such as towns or cities.
The high beam assistant is only
active when the high beams are
switched on.
The high beams do not react to:
– unlit road users (pedestrians)
– poorly-lit road users (cyclists)
– road users whose lighting is concealed
(crash barrier, narrow bends)
The high beam assistant is a tool
that offers recommendations on how
to use the headlights. In rare cases,
other road users who have their own
lighting will not be recognised and
LANGUAGECODE.EN
31
the lowering of the high
beams will not be
(expressly)
recommended. There is a
risk of accident! Correct
vehicle lighting is the
responsibility of the driver,
who should not rely solely
on the display but is
instead obliged to make
his or her own
assessment of the
lighting, visibility and
traffic situations.
32
The high beam assistant’s function is
limited when
–visibility is poor (e.g.: in snow, heavy
rain, fog and spray)
–there are bright reflections
–the camera is dirty, damaged or
covered
