What is the function of the driver assistance system Emergency Stop Assistant in my BMW?

If the driver is no longer fit to drive, the Emergency Stop Assistant helps to safely bring the vehicle to a standstill. The Emergency Stop Assistant is not triggered automatically. The system can only be triggered manually by the occupants. When the system is triggered, the vehicle is brought to a standstill in its own lane by use of lane guidance. Depending on the vehicle equipment and national-market version, the system includes a lane change function. With lane change function: on motorways or motorway-like roads, the system steers the vehicle to the side of the road or shoulder where possible. On other roads or with high traffic volume, the vehicle is brought to a standstill in the current lane. 

 

To determine which features your BMW may have, please review your window Monroney sticker or log in to My Garage  and view Vehicle Profile.
