How do I activate side view in my vehicle with BMW Operating System 8 or newer?

Side view shows the vehicle's side surroundings, making it easier to position the vehicle at the curb or with other obstacles on the side. The side view looks from rear to front and, in case of danger, focuses automatically on possible obstacles.

 

Depending on which BMW Operating System your vehicle is equipped with, perform the following on the center console to activate side view: 

 

BMW Operating System 8/8.5/9: 
    1. Press the "Park Assist" button
    2. Select the camera icon for the desired vehicle side in the selection window.
        To exit the side view, select another camera view in the selection window.
