How do I activate Panorama View in my BMW?

The panoramic view gives you an earlier view of crossing traffic at blind driveway exits and intersections.

Road users concealed by obstacles to the left and right of the vehicle can only be detected relatively late from the driver's seat. To provide greater visibility, the front camera and, depending on vehicle equipment, rearview camera cover the side of the vehicle.

Depending on vehicle equipment, this function can turn on automatically when activation points are saved.

The camera image shows different levels of distortion in some areas and is thus not suitable for distance estimations.

Depending on vehicle equipment, the function can be used when driving forward or in reverse.

Turning the panoramic view on/off

• Press the button.
  • "Panor­ama view"

• To exit panorama view, select another camera view on the left toolbar.

Yellow lines on the screen display identify the bumpers of your own vehicle.

When reverse gear is engaged, the reversing camera view is displayed. Depending on vehicle equipment, the front camera view is displayed when forward gear is engaged.

Positions at which panorama view should switch on automatically can be saved as activation points.

• Up to ten activation points can be stored.
