System functions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measurement of the parking space is performed automatically when driving past at speeds of up to 35 km/h. Maximum distance to the row of parked vehicles: 1.5 meter

After the function has been enabled, the CID shows the driver whenever the vehicle drives past a suitable parking space. After starting the parking operation: The driver is instructed by the CID when to reverse, when to brake and when to drive forwards. The parking operation can be performed in one or more sections.

The parking operation will be interrupted in the following cases:

Maximum driving speed of 10 km/h during parking is exceeded
Incorrect selection of the turn indicator light (e.g. left instead of right)
Risk of collision with objects while parking (also on the opposite side)
Steering angle by the driver
A door being opened
Incorrect gear selection
DSC detects slip

Every one of these reasons for termination will be documented in the fault memory of the PMA control unit with an entry. This is therefore not a system fault but instead an incorrect operation by the driver. After termination, the system checks to find out if the parking operation can be resumed. If necessary, the driver can take charge of the parking operation personally.
