Technology features in luxury cars have become more and more advanced in recent years, and BMW is always doing its best to lead the field. You may have heard about BMW Active Driving Assistant, a safety suite that is found in many of our new BMW models here at Fields BMW Northfield. Here are the advanced safety features BMW Active Driving Assistant has to offer.
Forward-Collision Warning
With forward-collision warning, your car constantly looks for obstacles ahead of you, and this doesn't just include other cars. Your vehicle is also on the lookout for pedestrians as it's trying to make the streets safer for everyone.
This feature will warn you to brake if a collision is imminent. If you're traveling at slower city speeds, this feature can actually hit the brakes for you automatically. Still, you want to make sure that you're paying close attention to the road and all of the extra information that BMW Active Driving Assistant gives you.
Blind Spot Monitoring
Switching lanes on a crowded highway can be dangerous. You need to check carefully to make sure that no other vehicles are in your way, and blind spot monitoring gives you another set of eyes to make safe driving decisions. If there is a car in your blind spot, your vehicle will let you know with visual and audio alerts.
Lane Departure Warning
Momentary distractions can easily cause drivers to drift out of their lanes; lane departure warning helps prevent that. If you begin drifting out of your lane without using your turn signal, your car will alert you so you can correct your drift and continue driving safely.
