Camera-based driver support systems (KAFAS) (Ver.2): Notes
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.
Depending on the options fitted, various camera-based systems are available. Technical implementation is realized with a camera in the mirror base and a control unit, the KAFAS control unit.
The display functions of the camera-based driver support systems are:
- Lane departure warning
- High-Beam Assistant (not permitted in Japan)
- Speed limit (Speed Limit Info)
- Collision warning
- Overtaking ban
- New: Urban traffic accident prevention
- New: Preventive pedestrian protection
- New: Traffic jam assistant, see DEDICATED FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
If the customer orders exclusively the high-beam assistant (5AC), the system is implemented with a camera and its own control unit in the inside mirror.
The speed limit and overtake warning functions are only available with the Professional navigation system.
