How do I turn on, off and set the Traffic Light And Sign Warning in my BMW with BMW Operating System 8.5 and newer?

The Traffic Light And Sign Warning provides support in situations in which the right-of-way needs to be yielded based on road signs or traffic lights at speeds up to approx. 60 mph. The system evaluates traffic signs and traffic lights using a camera behind the windshield. The navigation system directs information on the road layout to the system.

A warning is given if the right of way is about to be violated, e.g., in the following traffic situations:

  • At an intersection.
  • At a road entrance.
  • On a highway entrance ramp.
  • At a roundabout.
  • With a red traffic light.

 

Perform the following in the iDrive menu to turn on/off the Traffic Light And Sign Warning:

  1. Apps menu
  2. "Vehicle"
  3. "Driving settings"
  4. "Driver Assistance"
  5. "Safety and warnings"
  6. "Traffic Light and Sign Warning"
  7. Select the desired setting.

 

Perform the following in the iDrive menu to set the warning time:

  1. Apps menu
  2. "Vehicle"
  3. "Driving settings"
  4. "Driver Assistance"
  5. "Safety and warnings"
  6. "Traffic Light and Sign Warning"
  7. Select the desired setting.

 

The selected setting is saved and adopted for the next journey.
