How do I activate or deactivate the "Active PDC emergency braking function" in my BMW with BMW Operating System 7?

The system switches on automatically in the following situations:

▷ With the engine running, when selector lever position R is engaged.

▷ While approaching detected obstacles at a speed lower than approx. 2.5 mph/4 km/h. The activation distance depends on the situation in question.

You may switch automatic activation when obstacles are detected on and off:

  1. "CAR"
  2. "Settings" 
  3. "Driver Assistance"
  4. "Parking and Maneuvering"
  5. If necessary, "Automatic PDC Activation"
  6. "Automatic PDC Activation" 

The system switches off when a certain distance travelled or speed is exceeded. Switch the system back on, if needed. 

 

Switching on/off manually:

Press the park assistance button.

▷ On: the LED illuminates.

▷ Off: the LED goes out.

The rearview camera image is displayed if the reverse gear is engaged when pressing the park assistance button.
