Operation by iDrive: Visibility
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 49 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X6, 2011 BMW X6, 2010 BMW X6, and 2009 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Normal driving-light illumination is approximately 328 ft (150 m).
The use of BMW Night Vision enables heat emitting objects to be detected up to a distance of approx. 984 ft (300 m).
This specified distance is dependent on weather factors.
For example, heavy fog or rain reduces visibility.
The driving speed must be adapted to the relevant visibility conditions in each case. BMW Night Vision is designed as a supporting system, which, with a modified driving style, affords the driver an early, better overview of the road conditions ahead of the vehicle.
