Cruise control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Active Cruise Control option differentiates between 2 driving conditions:
- Cruise control with specified set speed
A selected set speed (in the range 30 km/h - 180 km/h) is automatically maintained on open roads without vehicles driving ahead.
- Cruise control with speed adapted to that of vehicle driving ahead
If a slower vehicle is detected on the vehicle's own track, the vehicle's own speed will be adapted to that of the vehicle driving ahead
At the same time, a distance from this vehicle preset by the driver is established (4 fixed, timed separations can be selected).
The timed separation from a vehicle driving ahead is no less than 1 second under stationary conditions. In certain conditions (e.g. when a vehicle cuts in a short distance ahead), this timed separation may briefly be less than 1 second.
