How do I turn on Assisted Driving Mode in my vehicle with BMW Operating System 8.5 or BMW Operating System 9?

Assisted Driving Mode enhances Distance Control with Steering Assistance and lane keeping. The system assists the driver in keeping the vehicle within the lane. For this purpose, the system executes supporting steering movements, for instance when cornering.  Assisted Driving Mode is operated using the buttons on the steering wheel.

 

Perform the following to switch Assisted Driving Mode in your vehicle with BMW Operating System 8.5 or BMW Operating System 9. 

  1. Press the on/off button (I/0) on the left side of the steering wheel. 
  2. If necessary, press the MODE button on the left side of the steering wheel until Assisted Driving Mode is selected on the instrument cluster toolbar.

The system activates automatically as soon as all function conditions are fulfilled.

The status of Assisted Driving Mode is displayed on the instrument cluster.

  • The indicator light illuminates gray when the system is ready and not performing any steering movement.
  • The indicator light illuminates green when the system is activated and helps to keep the vehicle in the lane. 

    When the system is switched on, the Forward Collision Mitigation and, depending on the equipment, the side-collision warning are active.
