What benefits does the "Automatic Curb Monitor" offer in my BMW with BMW Operating System 7 and newer?

If reverse gear is engaged, the mirror glass on the passenger's side is tilted downward. This improves your view of the curb and other lowlying obstacles when parking, for instance.

 

Depending on which BMW Operating System your vehicle has, perform the following steps.

 

BMW Operating System 7, 8 and 8.5

Activating:

  1. Slide the switch to the driver's side mirror position.
  2. Engage selector lever position R. When the trailer power socket is occupied or trailer towing is activated, the Automatic Curb Monitor is deactivated.   

Deactivating:

  1. Slide the switch to the front passenger's side exterior mirror position. 

 

BMW Operating System 9:

If reverse gear is engaged, the mirror glass on the passenger's side is tilted downward. This improves your view of the curb and other lowlying obstacles when parking, for instance.

 

Activating the Automatic Curb Monitor:

  1. To activate the Automatic Curb Monitor, press the exterior mirror button on the driver’s door. The LED illuminates.
  2. Engage selector lever position R. When the trailer power socket is occupied or trailer towing is activated, the Automatic Curb Monitor is deactivated. 

 

Deactivating the Automatic Curb Monitor:
