BMW X5 Instrument and Navigation

Unique, high-precision guidance: the Reversing Assistant


A further illustration of BMW's ongoing progress towards automated driving is provided by the Reversing Assistant. This function offers a level of assistance - for leaving a parking space or manoeuvring in a confined area - as yet unmatched by other vehicles. The Reversing Assistant takes over steering to manoeuvre the vehicle along a path recently negotiated forwards. This system makes reversing for a distance of up to 50 metres a particularly comfortable task in the new BMW X5 Navigation. All the driver has to do is operate the accelerator and brakes and monitor the surrounding area. The system is initiated by pressing a button when the vehicle is stationary and the gear selector is in the "P" position. The steering movements made during the vehicle's last forward manoeuvre are stored by the system and retained, even for longer periods. This means the Reversing Assistant can be used to manoeuvre the new BMW X5 backwards out of a parking position that it drove into forwards the preceding day.

The driver enjoys ideal all-round visibility, thanks to both the rear-view camera and the Top View, Panorama View and 3D View functions of Parking Assistant Plus, which create a 360-degree image of the vehicle and its surroundings in the Control Display. In addition, drivers can use the Remote 3D View feature to access a three-dimensional live image of their vehicle and surroundings on a smartphone.

The BMW Live Cockpit Professional in the new BMW X5 Navigation combines a new display and control concept and the ultimate in connectivity to create a superb all-round package. The latest-generation display and control concept comprises a high-resolution instrument cluster behind the steering wheel with a 12.3-inch screen and a Control Display also measuring 12.3 inches across.

The most recent incarnation of the display and control concept, which runs the latest BMW Operating System 7.0, has a cutting-edge, fully digital design and is geared even more closely to the driver's personal needs in order to optimise attention control. With its clear presentation and structuring, plus customisable and personalised displays, it sets out to provide drivers with the right information at the right time. The redesigned graphics display in the instrument cluster now leaves enough room for a part-view of the navigation map. The main menu in the Control Display is now spread over up to ten pages, each showing two to four tiles with live content. The intuitive multimodal interaction between driver and vehicle has also been further improved and allows him or her to choose between touch control using the Control Display, the familiar iDrive Touch Controller, the controls on the steering wheel, voice control or BMW gesture control, depending on the situation at hand.

Other elements of the BMW Live Cockpit Professional are an adaptive navigation system, a hard-drive-based multimedia system with 20 GB of memory and two USB ports, plus Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces. The driver can be automatically detected and personal settings activated either using the vehicle key or BMW Digital Key, or by selecting a user in the Control Display and entering the correct PIN.

Drivers can enjoy the full benefits of the car's intelligent connectivity capabilities by using its built-in SIM card and unlimited data allowance. Not only does this provide access to vehicle apps such as news, weather, office and online search, it also allows customers to use Intelligent Emergency Call - which automatically summons swift assistance in an emergency - and to receive regular updates for the navigation system's maps.
