Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function.

Simply specify your desired cruising speed and relax: Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function as well as collision warning with braking function automatically reduces your speed up to a standstill if a slower vehicle appears in the lane ahead.

If the vehicle is stationary for less than three seconds, the BMW 5 Series Touring automatically continues. If the vehicle is stationary for longer, a button must be touched on the steering wheel before the vehicle will pull away and accelerate up to your set cruise speed again.

A radar sensor with a range of 200 metres constantly measures the distance between you and the vehicle ahead and recognises which lane the vehicle is in.
In critical situations the optical and acoustic collision warning alerts drivers to the hazard, and by braking briefly gives them an additional opportunity to avoid the threat of an accident by braking or taking evasive action. The result is to make journeys in the BMW 5 Series Touring, particularly in urban traffic, safer and more comfortable.
